Building Knowledge for Policy and Practice in Southern New Jersey
Faculty Council
The connection to expert researchers on the Rutgers faculty is key to our work targeting issues that matter in South Jersey, and sometimes, beyond. The Faculty Council, comprised of faculty from Nursing, Business, Law and Arts & Science, provides important insights about trends and needs emerging in the research field, as well as guidance and connections on critical projects that WRI has undertaken to advance health, well-being and safety in South Jersey. As needed, the Faculty Council forms working groups to devise solutions to outstanding problems and capitalize on research opportunities for both WRI and Rutgers-Camden. The council is open to members of the Rutgers faculty who are interested in applied research that supports a stronger regional community.
