Richard L. McCormick, President
Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

"Imagine a university where most undergraduates, as well as graduate and professional students, are engaged in research or other forms of experiential learning, where teaching and research are inherently interdisciplinary, and where the boundaries between the institution and the rest of society are blurred almost to the point of invisibility. Together we can make this dream a reality."


Inaugural address,
April 2003
