The Institute welcomed Eagleton Graduate Fellows and Undergraduate Associates back to campus during a hybrid program to kick-off the new semester.

Twenty-eight Rutgers graduate students in the Eagleton Graduate Fellowship Program are taking the Perspectives on American Politics course this Fall semester.

Meet the Eagleton Fellows.

This semester, Eagleton Undergraduate Associates are enrolled in the Internship course to gain insight and perspective about their recent professional experiences in government and politics.

Meet the Eagleton Undergraduate Associates.

Join Eagleton for a Hispanic Heritage Month conversation with Veronica Duron, Chief of Staff to U.S. Senator Cory Booker, on October 13th at 1pm EST via Zoom.

Before joining Senator Booker's team, Duron was a member of the policy staff for Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer. “Veronica is smart and passionate about her work,” Senator Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement, “and as one of only a handful of Latinas to ever become a Senate Chief of Staff, she continues inspiring others to follow in her footsteps and helping us bring more diversity to the U.S. Senate.”

Kelly Dittmar, Associate Professor of Political Science at Rutgers University-Camden and Scholar at the Institute's Center for American Women and Politics, will moderate the virtual conversation with Duron, exploring the importance of diversity in the supporting staff of Congress.

This is presented as part of the Albert W. Lewitt Endowed Lecture Series and in co-sponsorship with Rutgers Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, Rutgers Center for Latino Arts and Culture, and Rutgers Division of Diversity, Inclusion, and Community Engagement.

Sign-up.

The Eagleton Undergraduate Associates Program is an interdisciplinary certificate program for all Rutgers juniors interested in American politics and government. Associates spend parts of their last three semesters linking the study of politics to its real-world application, building knowledge, skills, and networks for political, government, and community engagement. 

Associates learn about political power and decision-making while honing their leadership and professional skills through a series of three unique courses (one each semester) and a summer or fall internship in American politics, government, policy, or advocacy.

"John Farmer Jr. took the helm of the Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University in 2019, replacing the late Ruth Mandel after her retirement. Eagleton is perhaps the go-to source of insight for the Garden State and nationwide political landscape."

N.J. needs more women, minorities on state boards, officials say. Here’s how to apply for a seat.
"At Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg's request, the state budget approved in June contained $350,000 for the Center for American Women and Politics at the Rutgers University’s Eagleton Institute to create and maintain a database of all state appointments. Weinberg, D-Bergen, asked for the appropriation in response to the NJ Advance Media report that found men dominated the most powerful boards and vacancies were commonplace."

N.J. gov race underdog Ciattarelli gets big chance to make his case against Murphy in Tuesday debate
"'There are two sides to his campaign,' Ashley Koning, director of the Eagleton Center for Public Interest Polling.

Koning said Ciattarelli is 'playing into national politics' dominated by the Republican Party’s conservative wing when past winning strategies for GOP candidates in the Garden State was to move toward the middle to try and pick up independent voters and, if they’re lucky, a nice chunk of Democrats."
