Nursing Student Research Day

Just got these photos in from the College of Nursing's honors scholars research day on April 13. Thirteen outstanding students presented on a variety of topics to their faculty and peers. Photos were taken by Fred Stucker.

At left, one of the students presents on "BRCA 1 and BRCA 2 Effects on Colon Cancer." Below, student Jackie Kaczerski with Dr. Robert Atkins

Happy Birthday to Rutgers-Newark

Yesterday Rutgers-Newark celebrated its 100th anniversary in the Norman Samuels Plaza with a giant birthday cake and a few words honoring R-N alumns who are also faculty or staff (did you know there are over 200?). In case you missed the festivities and free cake, here's a couple of photos taken by our favorite event photographer, Shelley Kusnetz.

And here's the giant cake, complete with historical photos and a big Rutgers R - no candles, but big enough to feed 600 people!

It was also my birthday yesterday, but strangely, my name seemed to be missing from the writing on the cake... I suppose since it's R-N's 100th and all, I can let it go this one time...
