FROM THE EAST TO THE WEST Confucius was a thinker and philosopher who lived in the fifth and sixth centuries, B.C. His teachings, with an emphasis on lifelong learning and service to society, still are relevant more than 2,500 years later. The opening of the Confucius Institute at Rutgers (CIRU) was marked by song and dance and the unveiling of a gilded plaque from China that will adorn the Confucius Institute. CIRU will help people at Rutgers and in New Jersey learn about the language and culture of China. Photo Gallery
