Our International History
Rutgers was chartered in 1766 as Queen’s College, a private institution affiliated with the Dutch Reformed Church, and then renamed Rutgers College in 1825 after philanthropist Colonel Henry Rutgers. In 1866, Rutgers welcomed its first Japanese students, the Yokoi brothers. A brilliant samurai, Kusakabe Taro, followed Yokoi brothers to Rutgers just one year later, with aspirations of a career in international relations.

After graduation, the Gloucester County native and newly minted Fulbright scholar will leverage many of those pursuits internationally, capping an undergraduate journey packed with academic honors and campus involvement. Albadine, who majored in psychology and childhood studies, will travel to Paraguay next year to serve as an English Teaching Assistant through a Fulbright Scholarship.
