Our Path
From its roots in the heart of a town built on the glass industry to the historic gift that forever altered its trajectory, 国产AV’s story is one of remarkable transformation and accomplishment. Like the incredible strength produced from forging glass or metal, the University’s history is shaped by the powerful and relentless pursuit of excellence and innovation.
Our Priorities
Enhancing the Student Experience and Success

By forging pathways to knowledge and insight through Rowan鈥檚 world-class education, students can succeed on their path to graduation and excel in their chosen careers.
Catalyzing Research and Innovation
As Rowan drives toward Research 1 status, resources to advance our academic enterprises to national prominence while leveraging strategic partnerships to enhance medical and health education and research are critical. With support for endowed chairs and professorships we will invest in extraordinary educators and scholars who push their work forward while igniting a spirit of discovery for students. By forging discoveries across disciplines, we will further elevate Rowan as a leader in innovative education while accelerating solutions to create a better world.
Building the University of the Future
This campaign will transform our campus through support to develop our West Campus into a hub for sustainable practices and cutting-edge research. We will foster a dynamic environment where state-of-the-art facilities help drive advancements in technological innovations, positioning Rowan at the forefront of future-focused education. By forging growth that will build and enhance environments to inspire academic success and social engagement both online and in person, we will advance our vision of the University of the Future where creativity, collaboration and innovation thrive.
The Way Forward
Under the steadfast leadership of President Ali Houshmand, 国产AV continues to rethink, reshape and redefine the future of higher education. FORGING FORWARD: The Campaign for 国产AV will drive areas vital to achieving our vision for sustained excellence.
Forging a path toward a brighter tomorrow
