1 Washington Park

Foong Soon Cheong, an assistant professor in the Rutgers Business School, sent me some photos of the new(ish) digs at 1 Washington Park, which officially opened last Fall. This one showing the Newark light rail in the foreground is my favorite:

Right next door to the Business School is the Newark Public Library. Did you know that library cards are not just for residents of Newark? If you're a students faculty or employee in Newark you're also eligible! I've gotten tons of great books here, and it's a beautiful building to visit.

Foong Soon Cheong has many more photos, not just of Rutgers, but also Jersey City and other locations, at http://www.panoramio.com/user/4586134

Business School Grads

Germaine Benemile sent me this great group of photos from the Business School graduation last week, where he was among the largest Rutgers Business School graduating class yet! It was sunny and warm, a great day for the walk to NJPAC, where the actual ceremony was held. Newark Mayor Cory Booker spoke at the ceremony this year (seen below, top left). Afterwards, I caught him tweeting about how proud he was of Rutgers-Newark (yes, our mayor is on Twitter!)


Thanks Germaine, for these photos! And thanks to the others who've sent me photos in the past few days. I'll be posting more! For more from the Business School graduation, check out our photo gallery.
