DEDICATION DAY

On October 24, 2018, Newark Rhythms organized, and Rutgers-Newark hosted a day-long commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Dedication Day of the Rutgers-Newark campus. While Rutgers-Newark’s founding goes back to 1908 and it joined Rutgers in 1946, the campus was built in its current location in the mid-1960s and had its official dedication ceremony in October 1968.
