Douglass and the Institute for Women’s Leadership at Rutgers have launched a series of panels around the country centered on learning from women leaders and exploring the influential role Rutgers, Douglass and IWL play in transformative education on leadership.  The series, named Education for Transformation: When Women Lead, launched last spring in Washington D.C. with a panel of alumnae leaders speaking before an enthusiastic crowd of over 50 Rutgers alumni.

This past January, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy gave his 2024 State of the State Address.

With us today is Sabrina Charles—who will be graduating, with Honors, from the Rutgers School of Nursing this May,” said Governor Phil Murphy in his speech. “Sabrina is doing her part to help resolve our nursing shortage. And we are going to keep doing our part to support many others like her who are pursuing a career of service.”

The student Governor Murphy highlighted, Douglass senior Sabrina Charles DRC’24, is a nursing major with a passion for holistic and equitable healthcare for all people.

Douglass D.I.V.A.S.

Every other Thursday in the Douglass Student Center, the Douglass D.I.V.A.S. student organization brings the Douglass community together in conversation about the diverse set of issues that college-aged women face each day at Rutgers.

“The mission of our organization is to provide a network for all students with a strong interest in women's issues, by providing students a safe space to discuss, debate, socialize and create a bond that will positively contribute to each member's academic experience,” said Ryan Milne-Hood DRC’24, a biological sciences major and vice president of D.I.V.A.S.
