Rutgers Global hosted its annual Study Abroad Fall Fair on September 16 in the Livingston Student Center and welcomed more than 600 students who came to learn about the 140 study abroad programs in 50 countries around the world that Rutgers offers. This year’s theme was the Night Market, and students enjoyed learning about study abroad programs under the lights and partaking in treats like candy sushi, popcorn, hot dogs, and ice cream. There was also a psychic at the fair, guiding our students to their study abroad destiny. Here are photos from the event.
 

An art exhibition at the Zimmerli Art Museum at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, which runs from Sept. 9 through Feb. 14, and an event at Kirkpatrick Chapel celebrate Rutgers’ early ties to the island nation. The exhibition, Japan In/Out of View, begins in the 1860s, when Rutgers hosted some of the earliest Japanese students visiting the U.S. and became the first university in America to admit students from Japan as early as 1867. The university also hosted “Rutgers Meets Japan: A Celebration of Friendship,” on September 12 at Kirkpatrick Chapel. 

Rutgers University students and faculty joined peers from around the world this summer for an intensive week focused on climate innovation, sustainability and collaboration at the Korea University Climate Corps Summer School 2026. Held July 6–10 in Seoul, South Korea, the program brought together students and leading scholars from 49 universities representing 28 countries across six continents. Rutgers participated for the second consecutive year, giving students an opportunity to engage with international researchers, develop climate-focused projects and explore how different disciplines can work together to address the global climate crisis.
