To christen the 2022–23 academic year, Rutgers University–Camden chancellor Antonio Tillis welcomed more than 400 students, faculty, and staff at the Rutgers–Camden Inaugural Fall Convocation, ushering in a new tradition and joining exercises held in New Brunswick and Newark. “I sincerely hope that by the end of your journey at Rutgers–Camden, whether you walk across the commencement stage with a bachelor’s degree, master’s degree, or a Ph.D., you will always be proud to call Rutgers–Camden home,” Tillis told the audience, which had gathered in the Athletic and Fitness Center. “Our beloved community is a place where you will always belong—no matter where you have been in life or where you plan to go.”
