The Office of State Relations serves as the university's liaison to state government, with particular emphasis on the Governor's office and the Legislature. The office is actively involved with the annual budget process, capital appropriations and bond issues, and all legislation and regulation affecting the university, our students, faculty, and staff. We are committed to communicating to our state officials the critical value of Rutgers to New

Jersey and the nation. And in that vein, we work to make Rutgers’ myriad resources available to aid our state policy makers in their important work.
