PHIL SPINIELLO HEAD COACH Rutgers swimming and diving ushered in a new era on July 7, 2010 as Phil Spiniello was named the seventh head coach of the 95-year-old program.

Spiniello spent the past four seasons as an assistant women’s swimming coach at Princeton University, helping the Tigers to four Top 25 finishes at the NCAA Championships.

“I am extremely excited and honored to be the next swimming and diving head coach at Rutgers University,” said Spiniello at the time of his hire. “It’s humbling to be afforded this opportunity with such an outstanding athletic department and University. I can’t wait to get started.”

Spiniello was instrumental in helping Princeton, which enters 201011 on a 30-meet win streak, to unprecedented success in recent years. In his four seasons alongside head coach Susan Teeter, Princeton finished in the Top 25 each year at NCAAs, captured three Ivy League Championships, was nationally-ranked annually and earned All-America honors in numerous individual events, as well as the 2008 800-free relay.

In addition to his work poolside, Spiniello served as recruiting coordinator and brought in the nation’s 14th-ranked recruiting class in 2008, according to CollegeSwimming.com.

Princeton ended its 2010 campaign ranked atop the CollegeSwimming.com/CSCAA Mid-Major Rankings and finished 18th at the NCAA Championship meet for a second-consecutive season. The Tigers captured the Ivy League Championship for the third time in four years with Spiniello on staff, also winning league crowns in 2008 and 2007.

All-America honors were in frequent supply with Spiniello on the deck, as Alicia Aemisegger earned accolades 13 times from 2007-10.

During his tenure, Spiniello also directed the Princeton University Summer Swim Camp and served as head coach and director of the Tiger Aquatic Club.

Spiniello began his collegiate coaching career at Arizona State University, first as a graduate assistant coach (2003-04), before serving as an assistant coach for the men’s and women’s swimming teams from 2004 to 2006.

With the Sun Devils, his responsibilities included on-deck coaching of all athletes, recruiting and coordinating team travel.

ASU’s men and women both had strong seasons in 2005 and 2006 with Spiniello’s assistance. The women’s team placed 12th at NCAAs in 2005 and 29th in 2006. The men’s side placed 20th at NCAAs in 2005 and 14th in 2006.

A former collegiate swimmer, Spiniello was a four-year varsity let-

terwinner and two-time team captain at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pa., from 1999-2003. He earned AllCentennial Conference honors and received the George McGinness Award for Outstanding Leadership as a senior. The Boston, Mass., native arrived in the Keystone State after attending Boston College High School, where he captured Boston Globe All-Scholastic accolades while helping the Eagles to three consecutive state swimming championships.

Spiniello earned a Bachelor of Arts in history from Franklin and Marshall in 2003 before receiving a Master’s of Science in recreation management from Arizona State in 2006.

Tim Pernetti - Rutgers University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics “We are thrilled to welcome Phil to the Rutgers family. He has proven to be one of the top young coaches in women’s swimming and diving and will no doubt drive this program on a path of excellence for our student-athletes and our University.”

Susan Teeter - Princeton University Head Coach "Phil has been an amazing assistant, as well as a cherished member of the Princeton swimming and diving family. While we will miss his presence, coaching talent and professionalism, we know he has grown to be head coach material. Rutgers is truly lucky to have him to lead their program.

"I think I speak for all our athletes and alumni in thanking him for four great years. We wish him only success. While we hate to see him go, we're glad he'll be right down the road from Princeton. I'm honored to have had the opportunity to mentor him and to call him my friend and colleague."

Lisa Pursley - Rutgers Assistant Swimming Coach “I wanted to work for Phil Spiniello because he is an excellent coach and he has great experience training student-athletes. He is very, very enthusiastic, so I knew he would be awesome to work with.”

ASSISTANT COACHES FRED WOODRUFF

LISA PURSLEY

DIVING COACH

ASSISTANT COACH Lisa Pursley enters her first season as the assistant coach for the Scarlet Knights.

Pursley arrives “On the Banks” after pursuing her masters at Arizona State University and working as a Masters swimming coach at the Phoenix Swim Club, offering daily technique instruction to swimmers ages 18 and older.

Fred Woodruff, the 2008 BIG EAST Women’s Diving Coach of the Year, begins his 17th year at the helm of the Scarlet Knight divers. Last season, Woodruff led Erin Saunders to broken school records in both the one- and three-meter dives.

In 2008, Woodruff guided Saunders to an individual diving title on the one-meter board at the BIG EAST Championships en route to being named the league’s top diving coach.

A former diver and coach at Lehigh University, Woodruff has been coaching YMCA and USD age-group diving for 27 years. In 1983, Woodruff formed the Lords of the Boards Diving Team at the Somerset Valley YMCA in Bridgewater, NJ. By the summer of 1985, his divers were competing on the national level. He has produced 114 YMCA All-Americans, including six national champions. His LOB divers have made their mark on the Junior Olympic level as well, with 25 Region I champions, four zone champions and 25 Junior National qualifiers, including six finalists. He earned Region I Coach of the Year honors in 1988 and 1989.

He served as Junior Olympic Chairman of the New Jersey Association of U.S.A. Diving for seven years and as Region I Chairman from 1997 until 1999. He is currently serving as treasurer of the New Jersey Association.

In 1991, Woodruff was named the diving coach at Seton Hall University. That season, SHU had its first consolation finalist in diving at the BIG EAST Championships. The following year, he produced SHU’s first finalist in one-meter, three-meter, and platform, and qualified two divers for the NCAA Zone Championships.

Woodruff joined the Scarlet Knight coaching staff in the fall of 1993. In his first season, he had two diving finalists at the 1994 Atlantic-10 Championships. A year later, RU divers dominated the 1995 A-10 Championships, earning both the men’s and women’s A-10 Diver of the Year awards. Following the A-10 Championships, his male A-10 Diver of the Year earned the same award at the ECAC Championships.

Woodruff was named the 1995 ECAC Coach of the Year.

Since its entrance into the BIG EAST Conference in 1995, Rutgers has had 30 finalists and 22 consolation finalists on one-meter, three-meter, and platform at the BIG EAST Championships. Each season, Woodruff has qualified divers for the NCAA Zone Championships. At the 1996 Zones, former RU record-holder Carrieann Eberhardt captured fourth place on the three-meter, qualifying her as the Zone A alternate to the NCAA Championships.

“I am excited to have Lisa join our staff,” said Spiniello. “She comes from a great swimming background and brings a great knowledge and passion for swimming. Her energy and ability to teach the sport will be a great addition to our staff.”

Pursley was a three-time All-American at the University of Arizona, leading the Wildcats to the 2006 Pac-10 Championship. The Olympic Trials qualifier graduated from Arizona in 2007 with a bachelor of arts in elementary education. Pursley was named an Academic All-American and earned the Mary Roby Academic Achievement Award.

While working with Masters Swimmers and pursuing her masters of education at ASU, Pursley was also a third grade teacher at the Diocese of Phoenix. During the summer of 2009, Pursley was an assistant coach for the Pine Crest swim team out of Fort Lauderdale, Fla. and the head coach of the Boca Raton Mantas. The previous summer, Pursley worked with the Auburn Tigers Swim Camp, creating dry land workouts and coaching swimming workouts for elite high school athletes.

Pursley comes from an aquatic family as her father, Dennis Pursley, is the Director of Swimming for Great Britain.

Most recently, current Rutgers standouts Taylor Zafir, Megan Caylor and Brianne Lindblad, as well as graduated Scarlet Knights Catherine Whetstone, Shayna Longacre, Kasey Kesses, Kelly Harrigan and Sarah Bicknell battled for spots on the U.S. squad for the 2008 Olympics in Omaha, Neb. Rutgers international success dates back to 1972, as the first-ever Rutgers female swimmer competed in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich. Below represents a timeline of Scarlet Knights in red, white, and blue.

Judy Mellick (‘72 Olympic Games) The first ever female swimmer at Rutgers University, Mellick competed in the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich, placing fifth in the 100 meter breaststroke (1:16.34) and also racing on Team USA’s gold medal 400 medley relay (4:20.75).

At Rutgers, Mellick helped pioneer a successful women’s swimming program, contributing to three consecutive undefeated seasons and earning All-Amerian honors before graduating in 1977.

Seventeen years later in 1994, she was among those in the first class inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame.

RUTGERS SWIMMING AND DIVING – A HISTORY OF SUCCESS In its 94-year history, the Rutgers Swimming and Diving program has been under the direction of just seven head coaches - James H. Reilly (1916-1957), Otto H. Hill (1957-1961), Frank W. Elm (19611993), Elizabeth Blau (1993-1996), Rick Simpson (1996-1997), Chuck Warner (1997-2010) and now Phil Spiniello (2010-present).

Rutgers Swimming has enjoyed a proud history of success, achievement and one of the finest sports traditions "on the Banks." Compiled after researching years of Scarlet yearbooks and Targums, this history is only a limited glimpse into the 94-year old tradition and recognizes only a very few of the hundreds of athletes who trained, competed and contributed to the fine tradition of Rutgers Swimming.

1916-1930

Rutgers Swimming began in 1915 upon the completion of the Ballantine Gym with a $30,000 donation by Mrs. Ballantine for a pool addition. The pool was dedicated March 10, 1915 with a "gala" meet starring National Champion, world record holder and two-time Olympian (1908 and 1912) James Reilly (1997 Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame Inductee). Reilly was promptly hired as the "swim instructor" and four decades of excellence began. Reilly also presided over the new Eastern Collegiate Swimming Association from 1920 until 1927, with Rutgers compiling a record of 48 wins and only nine losses. Leo Geibel ('23), also an AAU Champion, won the 220 free in the National Intercollegiates and set intercollegiate records in the 150 backstroke and 440 free. George Kojac ('31) continued his national and world record-setting performances on campus and off. He represented the U.S. in the 1928 Olympics in Amsterdam, winning gold medals in the 100 backstroke and 800 free relay. He won the 100 free title at the 1931 NCAAs and combined with Bill Marquette ('30) and John Dryfuss ('32) for a world record in the 300 medley relay.

1930-1961

The Ballantine Gym was destroyed by a fire in the early morning of Jan. 30, 1930, necessitating construction of a new facility. "Borrowed" sites such as the New Brunswick YMCA and Princeton University were used for swimming until the College Avenue Gym opened on March 11, 1932, with a huge “Aquatic Carnival.”

In the 1930s, Walter Spence ('34), a 1997 Rutgers Olympic Sports

Hall of Fame inductee, began his career “on the Banks.” Spence was an AAU Champion and a Canadian Olympian. He won the 100 free in three consecutive NCAA Championships and combined with Walt Ashley ('35), Ted Brick ('34) and Norm Kramer ('33), for a winning freestyle relay in the 1933 NCAAs. The 1930-33 teams boasted an overall record of 214. Later, Rutgers hosted the 1938 NCAA Championships at the “state of the art” College Avenue facility.

From 1940-42 the Scarlet Knights registered a 22-6 record. The teams were led by AAU champ, Chuck Gantner ('44), who used the "new" breaststroke technique that eventually became the butterfly in 1954.

Gantner was an Eastern Champion, National Champion and one-time world record holder.

1946-1956 saw continued successes with the teams recording an overall record of 64 wins against only nine losses. All-American Bob Nugent ('52), a 1997 Olympic Sports Hall of Fame inductee, epitomized the era. Earning First Team All-American honors in ‘49, '50 and '51, Nugent was 1948 Eastern Champion in the 100 free, and an NCAA finalist in both 1950 and 1951. Reilly left Rutgers with an enviable record of 240 wins and 92 losses. His teams recorded five undefeated seasons, and twelve seasons of only one loss, an overall .722 percentage. He was a recognized leader in the sport, having coached Olympians and world record holders during his long tenure at Rutgers. Riley was recently inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame.

Head coach Otto Hill, led the Rutgers men from 1957-1961.

1961-1991

Frank Elm was appointed head coach in 1961 after Otto Hill was promoted to Athletic Business Administrator. Elm came to Rutgers as a successful AAU Coach, New Jersey Interscholastic Champion, AllAmerican from Indiana University and swimmer-coach in the Marine Corps. From 1961-72 the Scarlet Knights enjoyed 11-straight winning seasons, with an overall 79-42 record. The creation of the Eastern Seaboard Championships in 1965 brought the Scarlet Knights to a new level. Swimmers Bill Clark ('63), Larry Jones and John Wasylyk (64), Don Galluzzi and Marty Flickenger ('65), and diver Roy Nichols ('64) (Eastern Champion and NCAA top-eight finisher) were the top performers. In 1968, Rutgers was fourth in the prestigious Easterns with top six performances by Bob Chenaux ('66), in the 1650, Dave Feigley ('66) in diving, sprinters and All-Americans Bruce Ball ('67) and Dick Woodrow ('66) and Peter Hibbard ('67), Eastern Champion in diving. Rutgers’ success in the Easterns continued with John Hannan ('68) scoring in the 1650, 500, and 200 fly while Jim Rose ('67), Elliot Cheneaux ('68), Jim Parkinson ('70), Jose Ferraioli ('69), Dave Helming ('71) and divers Peter Leitner ('70) and Ted Doeing ('72) contributed to the team’s efforts.

Ferraioli, and the Cheneaux brothers represented native Puerto Rico in Olympic competition. Gregg Anderson '70 (Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame Inductee) was the leading point-scorer for the Scarlet Knights in the late 60s. He was named All-American in both 1968 and 1969 in the 200 backstroke and won three Eastern Championships while qualifying to compete in the NCAA's.

The 70’s are best known for the inclusion of women in the RU program. Olympian Judy Mellick ('77), became the first female member of the Rutgers team and the first woman to compete with men. Mellick was among the pioneers as newly-coed RU embarked on a successful women's athletic program. In recognition of her contributions, Mellick was inducted into the first class of the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame.

Rutgers women's swimming exploded on the scene with three consecutive undefeated seasons, 1975-1977, and a dominance of Eastern Championships. The RU women were the only Eastern team to place in the top ten at the 1977 Nationals. Fifteen swimmers earned All-

American recognition. Judy Mellick, Ellen Wallace, Debbie Franks, Maureen Mortell and Robin Locklair were among leaders, champions and stars of their era. Wallace later represented the U.S. at the Pan-Am Championships and has been inducted into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame. A 1997 inductee into the Rutgers Olympic Sports Hall of Fame is Tiny Condrillo Randazzo who was a consistent scorer in Eastern Championships, top six finisher in Nationals and two time All-American. In the 70’s Elm had a 70-20 win/loss record with the women's program.

Frank Elm best described the 80’s when he retired in 1993. In an interview he said, "There have been so many highs and lows over the years. The lows were not winning too much, especially during the 80’s when basically we had no scholarship help and our pool was antiquated.

We couldn't attract anybody, so it was really difficult to hang in there and keep going," (Star Ledger, April 30, 1993). But the Scarlet Knights did keep going and continued with a proud and competitive decade. The 80’s saw mostly .500 seasons for both men and women, but the teams were spirited and competitive. The 1987-88 season saw five school records broken. James McGuckin received the unprecedented awarding of both the James H. Reilly trophy and August Heintzmann awards. Swimmers Ron Farina, Peter Loftus and Ted Zlydaszek combined to lead the men to an 8-2 record and set eight school records in 1989. Long-awaited news that a new facility would actually be built aided Coach Elm in recruiting.

Elm recruits Jeff Farschon, Larry Page, and Tim Berlin led the Scarlet Knights’ rebuilding efforts. Atlantic 10 Champions and school record holders Farschon and Page were named Swimmers of the Year in the Atlantic 10 Conference.

Elm retired after 31 years at the helm of Rutgers swimming. He led the efforts to construct the "state of the art" swimming facility which is part of the Sonny Werblin Recreation Center on the Busch Campus. The facility, located just west of the football stadium, was completed in 1991.

Elm enjoyed two seasons in the swimmers' new home before retiring.

season was highlighted by a first-ever victory over Army.

In 1997, California transplant and well-known coach Chuck Warner took over the building process at Rutgers. Warner began the process of re-building a championship program and continuing the storied success of Rutgers swimming. In 1998-99, the men’s team jumped from 10th to fifth at the BIG EAST Championships and in 1999-2000, the women vaulted from ninth to second at the conference championships, the most dramatic leap of any team in the BIG EAST. For his efforts, Warner was named BIG EAST Women’s Coach of the Year, following a season that saw his women’s squad finish with a 7-2 overall mark and shatter 20 school swimming and diving records. This feat, along with the 6-3 mark posted by the men’s squad, which finshed third in the conference, served as tangible proof that Rutgers swimming was on the rise on a conference and national level.

In 2002-03 the women’s team finished third in the conference, and broke all but two school records. The women’s team also saw its first ever qualifier for the NCAA Championship meet in Erin McIntyre. Erin made the “A cut” in the 1650 freestyle, and also qualified for the 400IM and 500 freestyle. A year later, the women jumped to second in the conference and Warner was once again named BIG EAST Coach of the Year.

The 2004-05 season was highlighted by the remarkable individual accomplishments of All-American Kelly Harrigan and senior Sean Smith, who both came away with BIG EAST Most Outstanding Performer honors a the conference championship meet. Both the men’s and women’s squads finished in third place, behind only Notre Dame and Pittsburgh, and are poised to remain at the top of the conference standings for years to come.

The 2005-06 season, arguably one of the most successful under Coach Warner, was highlighted by the team’s second-place finish at the BIG EAST Championships and 18th-place showing at the NCAA Championships, the highest team finish in the program's history.

The Rutgers University swimming and diving team added yet another successful season to the programs storied history during the 2006-07 season. The team demonstrated the programs growing success by winning six straight dual meet competitions to end the season with a 6-1 record overall and a 3-0 mark in BIG EAST competition. The Scarlet Knights once again placed 2nd in the BIG EAST Championships and managed a 22nd place finish at the NCAA Championships.

In 2008 the Scarlet Knights captured three individual first-place finishes at the BIG EAST Championships and two swimmers advanced to the NCAA Tournament. Shayna Longacre garned Honorable Mention AllAmerican honors with her performace at the NCAA Tournament.

Additionally, numerous former, current and future Scarlet Knights competed at the 2008 Olympic Trials in Omaha, Neb. In 2009, Catherine Whetstone earned a trip to the NCAA’s after earning the gold at the BIG EAST Championships - and setting a new meet record - in the 100 backstroke After the 2010 season, a new era was ushered in with the hiring of head coach Phil Spiniello.

1993 TO PRESENT

Elizabeth Blau, an Elm assistant, became the head coach in 1993 and led the team in its transition from the Atlantic 10 Conference to the tougher and faster BIG EAST. Scarlet Knight swimmers in 1994 went 7-2 in men's competition, and 4-5 in women's contests. Nine school records fell that season. Diving coach Fred Woodruff was named Atlantic 10 Diving Coach of the Year in 1995.

Interim Coach Rick Simpson led the 1996-97 Scarlet swimmers as Rutgers hosted the BIG EAST Championships at the Werblin Center. The

RICHARD L. McCORMICK PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY Richard L. McCormick is the 19th president of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey. A scholar of American political history who began his academic career on the Rutgers faculty, he returned as president in 2002 after serving as provost of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and president of the University of Washington.

Dr. McCormick’s goal is to advance Rutgers within the top tier of American public research universities. His ambitions for the university include an enriched learning experience for every student; teaching and research focused on global human problems; diversity of students, faculty, staff, and programs; and deeper connections with the people of New Jersey.

President McCormick led a major restructuring and reinvigoration of undergraduate education at Rutgers-New Brunswick, the university’s largest campus. The plan merged four undergraduate colleges into a School of Arts and Sciences, expanded access to academic programs and learning communities, and established a popular First-Year Seminar program that offers more than 100 courses – each with no more than 20 students – on a wide range of topics taught by top faculty.

Other initiatives undertaken during Dr. McCormick’s tenure include: * The Rutgers Future Scholars Program, a pilot project to encourage minority and low-income teenagers from the university’s host cities to pursue higher education by offering mentorship and college preparation support, and the promise of free tuition to those admitted to Rutgers. * Establishment of the first-ever universitywide alumni body, the Rutgers University Alumni Association. * Rutgers Against Hunger, an initiative that combines volunteerism, research, education, and donations to address food security in the state of New Jersey. * Rutgers-Camden’s first-ever doctoral-level academic program, a Ph.D. in childhood studies – the first in the nation in this emerging discipline. * Establishment of the School of Public Affairs and Administration, Rutgers-Newark’s first new school in more than three decades.

Born in 1947, President McCormick earned a B.A. in American studies from Amherst College in 1969 and a Ph.D. in history from Yale University in 1976. He is married to Joan Barry McCormick, RU ’88. Dr. McCormick has three children, Betsy, Michael, and Katie.

TIM PERNETTI DIRECTOR OF INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS A lifetime New Jersey native with a strong passion for his alma mater, Tim Pernetti has come fullcircle in becoming one of the nation’s youngest leaders in college athletics. A former studentathlete “On the Banks”, Pernetti was named Rutgers’ sixth Director of Intercollegiate Athletics on February 26, 2009.

He oversees 24 men’s and women’s intercollegiate teams in New Brunswick, a larger number than fielded at most of the university’s peer institutions.

Pernetti has been influential in the world of college athletics since he received a bachelor’s degree in journalism and mass media from Rutgers in 1993, and a master’s degree in communication in 1995.

Prior to returning to Rutgers, Pernetti was the Executive Vice President, Content, for CBS College Sports Network. In that role, he oversaw the rights and relationship business, on-air talent, and all network programming and content on air, online and across all screens for the nation’s first company dedicated to college sports.

Pernetti helped to build the CBS College Sports Network, previously CSTV, prior to its launch in 2003, and has played a critical role in establishing it as the multi-media leader in college sports programming, content, news and information. He was a recipient of the prestigious Sports Business Journal Forty under Forty Award, and the Multichannel News 40 under 40 Award both in 2008.

Charged with developing relationships, acquiring rights and creating multi-platform original programming for the first ever 24-hour sports college sports network, Pernetti successfully navigated through a complicated web of media rights deals to come up with new ways to serve college sports fans. Pernetti worked closely with the NCAA and hundreds of schools in every major conference, securing over 2,500 hours of event programming each year and multiple NCAA Championships across 35 men’s and women’s sports. Pernetti was in charge of the CBS College Sports Network exclusive long-term agreements with the US Naval Academy, Mountain West Conference, Conference USA, and the Atlantic 10.

Further, he managed company relationships with more than 30 conferences and thousands of institutions. Pernetti remains most proud of establishing a strong relationship in women’s collegiate sports including the establishment of a women’s basketball game of the week package in 2004 with the BIG EAST Conference.

In 2006, Pernetti spearheaded a landmark multi-media partnership with the NCAA to make CBS College Sports Network the home of Division II Sports. The innovative deal effectively increased the scope and reach of NCAA Division II sports with hundreds of games now available nationally via the broadcast network and online.

Pernetti’s commitment to providing greater exposure to women’s and under-served sports is evidenced by the network’s unprecedented coverage of lacrosse and volleyball, among others. He has also been at the forefront of the development and creation of the Collegiate Nationals, which crowns champions in dozens of high endurance sports, and innovative original production including CBS College Sports Network’s groundbreaking NCAA March Madness Central, NCAA March Madness Highlights on CBS College Sports, and the WIRED franchise which gives viewers an inside look at games and events through wireless microphones on coaches during game action.

Prior to joining CBS College Sports Network, Pernetti served eight years at ABC-TV and ABC Sports most recently as Director of Programming, where he was integral in acquiring, managing and developing several ABC Sports properties including college football, the Bowl Championship Series, and college basketball. For five years, Pernetti handled relationships and negotiated television rights with all of the major collegiate conferences.

As a student at Rutgers, Pernetti was a four-year letterwinner at tight end on the Rutgers football squad. He was also the color commentator for Rutgers Football on the Rutgers Football Radio Network and announced weekly NFL games nationally on Sports USA Radio.

A resident of Oakland, N.J., Pernetti is married to the former Danielle Bahto. His wife also graduated from Rutgers and was a letterwinner on the women’s lacrosse team. Danielle and Tim are the proud parents of their three children – Max, Conor and Natalie.

26 A BRIEF HISTORY

Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, is one of the leading universities in the nation. The university is comprised of 27 degree-granting divisions; 10 undergraduate colleges, 11 graduate schools, and six schools offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. Five are located in Camden, eight in Newark, and 13 in New Brunswick and one in Newark and New Brunswick.

Rutgers has a unique history as a colonial college, a land-grant institution, and a state university. Chartered in 1766 as Queen's College, the eighth institution of higher learning to be founded in the colonies, the school opened its doors in New Brunswick in 1771 with a handful of first-year students. During its early years, the college developed as a classic liberal arts institution. In 1825, the name of the college was changed to honor a former trustee and Revolutionary War veteran, Colonel Henry Rutgers.

Rutgers College became the land-grant college of New Jersey in 1864, resulting in the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School, featuring departments of agriculture, engineering, and chemistry. Further expansion in the sciences came with the founding of the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station in 1880, the College of Engineering (now the School of Engineering) in 1914, and the College of Agriculture (now the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences) in 1921. The precursors to several other Rutgers divisions were also established during this period: the College of Pharmacy (now the Ernest Mario School of Pharmacy) in 1892, the New Jersey College for Women (now Douglass Residential College, part of the School of Arts and Sciences) in 1918, and the School of Education (now Graduate School of Education) in 1924.

In 1924, Rutgers College officially became Rutgers University, a reflection of the institution’s rapidly expanding number of schools and academic programs. Early in the century, Rutgers had begun offering educational opportunities to women when the New Jersey College for Women was founded in 1918, and to adult learners when University College, an evening division, was established in 1934. After World War II, enrollment exploded as Rutgers admitted all qualified candidates under the GI Bill. Rutgers was becoming an institution for all people, and in 1945 and 1956, state legislative acts formally designated Rutgers as The State University of New Jersey.

A flurry of expansion ensued. The University of Newark (now Rutgers–Newark) joined Rutgers in 1946, followed by the College of South Jersey (now Rutgers–Camden) in 1950. An ambitious building program added libraries, classrooms, and student housing across the three regional campuses. In 1969, Livingston College opened, providing a coeducational residential experience with a special commitment to diversity. Graduate education in the arts and sciences grew through the establishment of the Graduate School–New Brunswick, the Graduate School–Newark, and the Graduate School–Camden. Professional schools were formed to serve students in the fields of business; communication, information, and library studies; criminal justice; education; fine arts; law; management and labor relations; nursing; planning and public policy; psychology; public affairs and administration; and social work.

Meanwhile, as industry and government sought partners in solving problems and advancing knowledge, the concept of the research university emerged.

In 1981, Rutgers adopted a blueprint for its transformation into a major public research university. With increased support from state, federal, and corporate partners, Rutgers’ strength in research grew dramatically. In 1989, in recognition of its enhanced stature, Rutgers was invited to join the prestigious Association of American Universities, an organization comprising the top 63 research universities in North America. Today, professors and students work in more than 230 specialized research centers, unraveling mysteries in marine sciences, early childhood education, neuroscience, advanced materials, climate change, nutrition, homeland security, transportation, stem cells, and many other areas that can improve life both in New Jersey and around the world.

A 2007 major reorganization of undergraduate education in New Brunswick reinvigorated the undergraduate experience for both students and faculty by combining the traditions and strengths of four undergraduate liberal arts colleges—Douglass, Livingston, Rutgers, and University—into a single School of Arts and Sciences.

With 27 schools and colleges, Rutgers offers over 100 undergraduate majors and more than 100 graduate and professional degree programs. The university graduates more than 10,000 students each year, and has more than 380,000 living alumni residing in all 50 states and on six continents. Rutgers also sponsors community initiatives in all 21 New Jersey counties. Universitywide, new degree programs, research endeavors, and community outreach are in development to meet the demands of the 21st century.

Today, Rutgers continues to grow, both in its facilities and in the variety and depth of its educational and research programs. The university's goals for the future include the continued provision of the highest quality education, along with the increased support of research and commitment to public service to meet the needs of society.
