Join us for an exploratory discussion on the power and promise of Freedom of Speech in America at 250 which will be led by HC Faculty Fellow, Doug Cantor (Professor, Political Science, School of Arts and Sciences).

Join us for a panel on Student Government at Rutgers (RUSA) which will be led by Alina Chen (‘28, SAS/HC), RUSA President 2026-2027. Alina and her fellow RUSA representatives and officers will explain and explore the role and power of student government here at Rutgers. If "all politics is local" this is the best place for you to start getting involved, to understand, and to engage!
