Rutgers University-New Brunswick has joined the Alliance for the Arts in Research Universities (a2ru), which encourages leading research universities to integrate the arts into the pursuit of knowledge in other disciplines.
For Rutgers’ flagship, a leading public research institution and a member of the prestigious Association of American Universities, the partnership with a2ru will “offer Rutgers a national platform from which to promote our existing interdisciplinary collaboration between the sciences and arts, while creating new opportunities for our faculty and students,” according to Jason Geary, dean of the Mason Gross School of the Arts.
