For more than 25 years, the Senator Walter Rand Institute for Public Affairs (WRI) at Rutgers University–Camden has been a trusted partner in shaping the future of Southern New Jersey. Honoring the legacy of Senator Walter Rand, WRI has long served as a cornerstone for community-focused research and for advancing policy and practice that strengthen areas such as workforce development, education, transportation, and public health. As we reflect on the impact of our first 25 years, we are energized by the work ahead—and we invite you to help shape WRI’s next chapter.
