University Assisted Partnerships
University Assisted Partnerships are collaborative school transformation strategies designed to address the barriers that prevent students from reaching their full potential. Rutgers University-Newark’s (RU-N) primary role is to provide a framework of supports that assist in solidifying practices leading to stronger student outcomes through academic enrichment, professional development, university research, collaborative partnerships and promoting a college going culture. The most important outcome is to ensure that our contributions as an anchor institution demonstrate that we are of Newark, not just in Newark and complement the vision of Newark’s education and city government leadership.
