Ruth B. Mandel, Director
The Eagleton Institute of Politics (EIP)
explores state and national politics through research, education, and public
service. Its faculty, centers, and programs specialize in the study of state
legislatures and governors; public opinion polling and survey research; women's
participation in politics; minority and immigrant political participation;
youth civic education and political engagement; campaigns, elections, and
political parties; and New Jersey politics. For Rutgers students, Eagleton
offers a range of educational opportunities, including graduate fellowships, an
undergraduate certificate program, research assistantships, internships, and
opportunities to interact with political practitioners. The institute also
undertakes projects to enhance political understanding and involvement, often
in collaboration with public leaders, government agencies, the media, nonprofit
groups, and other academic institutions. In addition, Eagleton convenes
conferences and other forums for the general public.
