Message from Dean Charles E. Menifield: Fall 2021 Welcome 

Dear SPAA Students, 

As the Fall 2021 semester begins, I would like to welcome our new and returning students to the start of the 2021-2022 academic year.  

To help us all maintain a healthy and safe campus, I encourage you to refer to two regularly updated resources: the Navigating Our Classrooms and Student Spaces guide that provides information about classrooms, residence halls, and other campus spaces for faculty and students, and the Guide to Returning to Rutgers for faculty and staff. Also, SPAA’s recent Town Hall Meeting discussed and answered questions about returning to Rutgers.  

We appreciate your patience as we work together to ensure the health and safety of our SPAA Family. SPAA staff members will be on campus some days and working remotely other days to reduce the density of the office environment; please remember that we are here to support you and your success.  

I wish everyone a great semester.  

Sincerely, 
Charles E. Menifield, PhD
Dean
School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA)
