Trailer
Rutgers was founded in 1766 to educate young men, and so it remained for the first 152 years. Yet from the beginning women played vital but unrecognized roles. While Rutgers’ story is distinctive, it is also universal.
The film considers the radical transformation of higher education and how this revolution continues to meet the needs of 21st century students.
