The Paul Robeson Cultural Center, established in 1969, serves to document, preserve, and present the contributions of African peoples to world civilizations, with particular reference to the artistic, scientific, social, and political contributions of people of color in the Americas and New Jersey. The center provides leadership, vision, and support for more than 40,000 people each year, including more than 5,000 black students at Rutgers, through cultural programs and educational opportunities that broaden understanding and appreciation of the African diaspora. Further, the center works closely with the tiers of communities served by Rutgers University in local, state, national, and international spheres.

The center is open Monday through Thursday, from 8: 30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.; Friday, from 8:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.; and Saturday and Sunday, from noon to 4:00 p.m. The center is located at 600 Bartholomew Road, Busch campus, adjacent to the Busch Campus Center. For more information, call 732/445-3545.
