2023 Rutgers Summit on Student Success 

The Rutgers Summit on Student Success

The Educational Equity and Excellence Collaborative (E3C) hosted the Rutgers Summit on Student Success on October 25, 2023. This gathering brought together groups across our university community who support the success of our first-generation students and students from modest-income households. We look forward to continuing to showcase Rutgers' excellence and opportunities by bringing together our educators, researchers, practitioners, and advocates to share innovative ideas and best practices for empowering and learning from our extraordinary students.
