HISTORY OF RUTGERS UNIVERSITY
Online course for current Rutgers students (all locations) and alumni
Spring 2016 Semester, January–May 2016
Course registration begins in October 2015
This spring, both students and alumni are invited to take the online course "History of Rutgers University," taught by Rutgers historians Paul Clemens, author of Rutgers since 1945(Rutgers University Press, 2015), and Rudolph Bell. Participants, working in small, virtual groups, will explore major themes throughout Rutgers' 250-year history from its beginnings in 1766 as a small college for prospective ministers to its current place as a leading research university. Through interviews, visual presentations, and selected readings, participants will examine a wide range of topics, such as: 19th-century students from Japan; Paul Robeson then and later; the old and new Rutgers tomato; World War II veterans and the G.I. Bill; Selman Waksman’s contested Nobel Prize; the firing of alleged communist Moses Finley; early residence life at Livingston College; 1969 Black Organization of Students takeover of Newark’s Conklin Hall; LEAP Academy in Camden; art, music, dance, and theater; underwater volcanoes; the establishment of Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences; and, of course, entry into the Big Ten®.
For more information or to register: Alumni can sign up for the course through the Rutgers University Alumni Association. Students can register using the Web Registration System by selecting the spring 2016 semester, course code 01:512:285, section 90. The course begins January 19 and ends May 2, 2016.

This class, which I have had the good fortune to be a research assistant for, will include some fantastic interviews. I was responsible for the Athletics portion, and 2nd Hundred Years portion. Interviews for the athletics portion include Kyle Flood, Eddie Jordan, Julie Hermann, Lee Schneider, Bob Mulcahy, Dick Lloyd, Tom Liucci, and more.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
