Each year, The 2022 Christiana Foglio DC'84 Douglass Career Conference serves as a launchpad for the passions, aspirations, and goals of current Douglass students. Throughout a full day of speakers, panels, and networking events, students begin to chart their course for in and beyond college. The Career Conference, where students make connections with women professionals in a variety of industries, is essential for shaping and refining how a student’s future may look.
The College is excited to announce a new cohort of Faculty Fellows for the 2022-2023 school year!
The Douglass Faculty Fellows Program is a new Douglass initiative open to all students that brings cutting-edge professionals to campus to work directly with Douglass students on their projects and research. Fellows include innovators from a variety of fields, including the fine arts, social justice, medicine, academia, activism, and more. Students may be eligible to receive a stipend for their work.
Dear New Douglass Students,
Welcome to the Fall 2022 semester and congratulations on taking the bold step of choosing the Douglass difference!
As a Douglass student, you will benefit from an educational track of academic and co-curricular programming that helps you acclimate to college life, excel in your classes, and build your resume for Rutgers and beyond. Our students participate in a range of programming in the following categories: Douglass Discovery (research), Career Development, Knowledge and Power (women's empowerment), Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, and Residential and Community Engagement.
Dear Students,
Welcome to the Fall 2022 semester. On behalf of the staff at Douglass, we’re excited to have you back!
Research shows that students that have the most positive college experience, and stay through graduation, are those who find a sense of connection. With this in mind, I urge you to fully engage in all that Douglass has to offer.

This coming month, Douglass will welcome the Class of 2026 to campus. At Welcome Days, Douglass staff and student ambassadors from the Douglass Student Recruitment Network put on a two-day suite of activities for new students. The College is excited to connect a new cohort of talented and bright undergraduates to the power of the Douglass Difference.
Recent Douglass alumnae are using the talents and skills developed through a Douglass education to make strides both out in the world and back on campus. Jackie Mehr DRC’22 is an active Douglass alumna and current NIH researcher. Throughout her four years as an undergraduate student, she cultivated an impressive research career that culminated in her receiving the Goldwater Scholarship. The insights Mehr has to share are invaluable to the over half of Douglass students pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Through the power of the Douglass network, current Douglass students have the ability to connect with alumnae like Mehr to gain wisdom from her experiences.
Thank you for the warm welcome I have received from so many of you to the Interim Dean role.
I joined Douglass four years ago in the Office of Advancement and have served for the past two years as the Associate Dean for Strategic Initiatives, overseeing communications, operations, and planning at the College. While I have had the pleasure of meeting many of you, I wanted to take a minute to introduce myself to those of you I have not yet met.
To Our Alumnae Community,
One of my greatest joys as Dean of Douglass has been learning about and getting to know our wonderful alumnae. I have met hundreds of you, learned about your lives and dreams, and shared the many wonders of Douglass today. Your reflections on your college years, the deep friendships you generated at Douglass, and your curiosity about the College today have fueled many fulfilling days and hours over my last twelve years as Dean.
The Global Village Art as Activism House, a Douglass living-learning community focused on the global role of art in social justice, wrapped the academic year by putting on their annual exhibition.
Throughout the summer, Douglass will be celebrating recent graduates and young alumnae who exemplify Douglass excellence as well as the continuous network of alumnae support that flows into the College.
The Douglass Global Village and the Douglass Discovery Faculty Fellows program held the first annual Douglass Day, an event in which students presented the projects they worked on this past semester. The evening offered students the opportunity to share their work, showing the entire college community all that can be achieved through Douglass programs!
