REACH Poverty, Equity, and their Influencing Factors Symposium

This symposium, hosted by REACH in partnership with our Employment Table, will bring together the Rutgers community, academic institutions, community partners, policymakers, and funders to discuss poverty and its interconnected social determinants — including education, employment, food access, housing, population health, and racial justice.

We are especially thrilled to feature Dr. Matthew Desmond as our keynote speaker. Dr. Desmond, author of Poverty, By America and founder of Princeton’s Eviction Lab, is a leading voice on housing insecurity and poverty. His groundbreaking research and extensive work have shaped national conversations on these critical issues, making his insights invaluable for those dedicated to social impact.

Locations:
New Brunswick: Cook Student Center (host site)
Camden: Camden Campus Center (livestream + in-person events*)
Newark: Paul Robeson Campus Center (livestream + in-person events*)

*In-person events in Camden and Newark will include livestreams from New Brunswick of all plenary sessions and select breakouts, as well as facilitated discussions, networking, breakfast and lunch, and an autographed copy of Dr. Desmond’s book, Poverty, By America.
