Local Government
Under the leadership
of Dr. Richard Harris, the Walter Rand
Institute for Public Affairs (WRI) was
organized to honor Senator Rand’s
legacy of public service to southern New Jersey and
to his home town of Camden. Launched with a
legislative appropriation from the State of New Jersey
and matching funds from Rutgers University, WRI serves
as a research and public service center for Rutgers-Camden,
the southern campus of the state’s land grant
university.
In addition to
the diverse expertise areas of WRI staff,
the Institute utilizes the academic, programmatic
and facility resources of Rutgers University. WRI engages
public, government, non-profit and community stakeholders
in addressing regional challenges. |
