FEATURED ACTION: SAVE DOUGLASS COLLEGE CAMPAIGN


Since 1918, Douglass College (at Rutgers University) has provided an educational environment committed to promoting the success and scholarship of women. Douglass College has been at the forefront of education for women as leaders in all areas, including the worlds of research, education, business, public policy, communication and community service.This campaign was launched by the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College (AADC) to register strong concerns with recent proposals by the Task Force on Undergraduate Education.  In this plan, Douglass College as we know it would be eliminated.
