Join Braven and Rutgers University-Newark for an evening of meaningful conversation, with opening remarks from Mayor Ras Baraka, on how investing in anchor partnerships can help drive change in Newark and how each of us can play a critical role in shaping a future filled with opportunity for all. 

 

Newark’s rich history, diverse population, and vibrant entrepreneurial spirit create a unique environment for partnership, strengthening collaboration between local institutions and community stakeholders. Programming will showcase the power of partnerships in Newark, the impact Braven and Rutgers University-Newark have had on the economic and social mobility of RU-N students, and ways each sector can play an active role in continuing progress for our city and paving the path for economic mobility and the American Promise.
