A delegation from Rutgers University traveled to India and China to conduct in-person pre-departure orientations (PDO) with newly admitted undergraduate students and their families in June. The PDOs are spearheaded by Rutgers Global and serve to introduce a new class of Rutgers international students to the academic support services available just for them. The Rutgers team leading the orientation was comprised of leadership from Rutgers Global, and the School of Engineering, School for Environmental and Biological Sciences, School of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers-New Brunswick, and Rutgers Business School. The events were held in Delhi, Mumbai, Beijing and Shanghai. 

From June 12 through 15, Rutgers University hosted a research collaboration and partnership development program that brought together approximately 200 biomedical researchers, medical school leaders, government-supported research fellows, and trainees from South Korea, reinforcing Rutgers' growing role as a global hub for biomedical innovation and international research partnerships. Hosted in collaboration with the Korea Association of Medical Colleges (KAMC), the program brought together recipients of South Korea's Ministry of Health and Welfare (MOHW) Overseas Training Program, Korean biomedical researchers, and representatives from many of Korea's leading medical schools and research organizations.

With matches from the FIFA World Cup drawing fans from across the globe to the region, Rutgers Global is inviting students, faculty, staff, and community members to participate in a Panini World Cup Sticker Album exchange—a tradition that has united generations of soccer enthusiasts worldwide. Throughout the remainder of the tournament, Rutgers Global will host informal sticker swap gatherings at The Yard, where World Cup matches are being shown on the big screen. Participants are encouraged to bring duplicate stickers, trade with fellow collectors, and share in a global pastime that extends far beyond the game itself.
