Congratulations to the Eagleton Undergraduate Associates Class of 2024 who graduated from the program earlier this month at Wood Lawn. The celebration marked the 50th cohort of Eagleton Undergraduate Associates, with the first program starting in 1974. Class representatives Sheaa Amin, Pooja Ghadiali, and Matthew Brodsky shared their Eagleton journey's with family and friends, and were inspired by New Jersey Secretary of Higher Education Brian Bridges' keynote address.

The 2024 cohort represented eight Rutgers University schools and all campus locations. Undergraduate Associates pursued a broad range of majors, including cognitive science, quantitative economics, urban studies, and theatre. Associates gained valuable knowledge from three political science courses and hands-on  internship experiences in politics, government, and advocacy.

Congratulations to the 67th cohort of the Eagleton Graduate Fellowship Program in Politics and Government. The event featured a keynote address by New Jersey State Senator Troy Singleton (NJ-7), as well as remarks from elected class representatives Admir Molic, Mayrose Wegmann, Nashia Basit, and Quinnie Collins.

The 67th cohort of graduate fellows represented seven Rutgers University schools from all campus locations, including Rutgers Health and RWJ Medical School. Fellows are pursuing J.D., M.D., Ph.D., and masters degrees in American studies, city/regional planning, landscape architecture, library and information sciences, law, and public affairs.

The one-year, interdisciplinary certificate program includes a fall seminar course, spring government internship, and experiential education opportunities throughout the academic year. Fellows develop an advanced knowledge of government, American politics, policy, and advocacy and build professional skills and networks to apply through their chosen field of study.

“We had a woman who effectively won, were it not for the Electoral College...“I don’t have a strong opinion about the Electoral College — you’ve got to win by the rules as they are, and she didn’t. But in terms of generating votes, she did. The reaction to that could have been, ‘Hey, a woman can beat Trump.’ But instead, it was, ‘Well, I don’t know. I don’t think we’re ready."
