The project includes a digital gallery, museum exhibition, and book capturing Rutgers during the academic year of its 250th anniversary. Rather than focus on Rutgers' history, the project will capture education and campus life in the early 21st century at a major public university. Rutgers' students, faculty, staff, alumni, and visitors to the New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden campuses may contribute photos through the project website. Images received by early January will be printed and hung for the opening of the exhibition on January 19, 2016. Thereafter, submitted images will be printed and installed in the museum at regular intervals, allowing the online and onsite exhibition to grow throughout the spring. Following the close of the exhibition, the 250 most compelling images will be published in a book available in the fall of 2016. Make history!
