Curiosity. Knowledge. Purpose.
The Honors College Springs to Life on Move-In Day!
At 7:59am, members of the Rutgers student Move-in Team lined the sidewalk in front of the Honors College, pulling along with them red and gray moving bins amidst the gentle silence of early morning. The overcast sky and light breeze lent the atmosphere a somber tone, with an air of anticipation.
“I Know What I Need to Do Now.”
As I watched and listened, the students got the feedback they’d been waiting for. After a year or more of hard work, almost fifty soon-to-graduate researchers, investigators, and creators were finishing up presentations of their projects at the annual Honors College Capstone Showcase on April 12, 2019.
Congratulations to the Winners of the Spring 2019 Forum Pitch Competition
Fifteen teams were chosen by peers this spring to present at the Forum plenary before a panel of judges from business and academia and approximately 250 peers. Congratulations to all of the teams who presented and to the six teams who placed—three chosen by the judges and a different three chosen by peers!
The Honors College has provided me with an unparalleled environment to thrive. I 'fit in' here, and have created long-lasting friendships with driven, inspirational people, from many different majors.

Being a part of the Honors College community helped me get adjusted to college life because it felt like a smaller version of Rutgers with all the diversity and the various schools being represented. Not only did I find a home within the community, but I also was exposed to some amazing opportunities both inside and outside of Rutgers through the Honors College.

My experience at the Honors College has been especially rewarding because of all the amazing people I met. It's not just the students, but the faculty are such interesting people and show that they really care about you.
