Elizabeth Warren Will Speak Virtually To Rutgers Students

NEW BRUNSWICK, NJ — U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren will give an online address later this month to members of Douglass Residential College at Rutgers University.

Douglass Residential College is a women's-only residential section of Rutgers.

Warren will speak at the college's fall convocation on Sept. 26 via YouTube.

The virtual event is free and open to the Rutgers community. Current Rutgers students must register in advance here: https://www.cvent.com/events/d...

“Douglass is honored to host Sen. Warren,” said Dean Jacquelyn Litt of Douglass College. “Her wisdom will empower our incoming students as they begin the next phase of their education.”

Rutgers President Jonathan Holloway will introduce Sen. Warren and Litt and students will convey messages to the class of 2024.

Warren, the first woman elected to the Senate from Massachusetts, serves on the Committee on Banking, Housing, & Urban Affairs, the Committee on Health, Education, Labor & Pensions, the Special Committee on Aging, and the Armed Services Committee.

Before starting in politics, Warren earned her law degree from Rutgers Law School, Newark in 1976. She also campaigned for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 2020.

During the 2020-2021 academic year, Douglass College’s theme was “nevertheless, she persisted,” a phrase inspired by Warren’s service in the Senate.
