Study Abroad

Cuba may not be a Spring Break hotspot—particularly given that Americans are prohibited from visiting the island solely for tourism. But for a group of Rutgers Law School students, Cuba turned out to be a truly unique and educational Spring Break destination, made possible through a travel course designed to expose students to Cuban law, history, and society through firsthand encounters with local attorneys, activists, students, and community members. The course is taught each year by Rutgers Law Clinical Professor Charles Auffant. Check out this video with highlights from the trip.

Rutgers Global hosted its annual Study Abroad Fall Fair on September 24 in the Livingston Student Center and welcomed nearly 600 students who came to learn about the 100+ study abroad programs in 40+ countries around the world that Rutgers offers.

When Sharellis Sepulveda first enrolled at Rutgers University in Camden, she wasn't sure what she wanted to study. But as a first-generation student who had come to the United States with her family from the Dominican Republic when she was just 13 years old, she did know she was passionate about attending college.

Rutgers University is committed to removing any barriers that would keep students from participating in study abroad opportunities. Last year, Rutgers Global–Study Abroad launched the Passport to the World initiative, which seeks to increase the number of Rutgers University matriculated students with U.S. passports. Upon learning about the initiative and to help spread the word, Chancellor Antonio Tillis and Associate Dean of International Students and Global Programs Elizabeth Atkins from Rutgers University–Camden increased the number of awards for Camden students.
