Our Mission
Universitywide Coordination
In the fall 2022 senate address, President Holloway charged us with developing a coordinated and intentional approach to online education that complements what we do on the ground and more effectively meets the needs of current and future students.
This work was informed by an institution-wide effort in the spring of 2022, involving more than 300 faculty and staff from across the university, undertaken by Brian Ballentine, senior vice president for strategy, and his team together with the office of University Affairs, and that of Michele Norin’s, senior vice president and chief information officer.
The spring study concluded that stronger coordination across the university would benefit our faculty, staff, and students. The study highlighted the need for more cohesive and targeted support for online education, and the Office for University Online Education Services was created and launched on July 1, 2024.
Council on Online Education
The council is a standing advisory group charged with monitoring the current state and advising the future state of online education at Rutgers, and with enabling two-way communication and idea exchange with the academic units. The council, which meets regularly, includes representatives from each chancellor-led unit, a representative from the University Senate, ex-officio representatives from University Academic Affairs, and the Office of Information Technology.
