The Robert Wood Johnson Medical School Global Health Fair returned on December 6, following a three-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event, normally held every December in New Brunswick, features poster presentations by faculty, staff, and students who have engaged in global health related activities.
The Center for Global Education launched the Staff Global Learning Fellows Program, a professional development opportunity for mid-career professionals at Rutgers last year. The program allows staff members the opportunity to gain field-based experience designing and running a global learning program, under the guidance of an experienced Rutgers University faculty member. It is also designed to encourage staff members with expertise in various aspects of student services to contribute by applying their learning and expertise to the design of new or expanded global learning programs. Rutgers Global is seeking nominations for current staff members who would like to serve as a Fellow. Please see below for more information about applying for this opportunity.
