Dr. Mohammad Jalayer, a Civil & Environmental Engineering assistant professor, won a $40,000 grant from the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) to learn how to reduce wrong-way driving incidents, and save lives.

Dear Rowan Community, It’s been a difficult few weeks with news about COVID-19 affecting virtually everything around us. Each new development requires careful, decisive action to protect health and safety. Each tough decision brings changes to the life of our University community that we would prefer not to make. However, the novel coronavirus poses threats that we can’t ignore. This is unsettling for everyone. We deeply appreciate the patience and cooperation of everyone in the Rowan family. We assure you that while some measures we are taking may seem drastic, concern for the health and safety of our students continues to drive every decision.

Based on the last 24 hours of developing information about COVID-19, we have expanded guidance for Rowan University students, employees and visitors.

Each day in our ongoing response to threat of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19)— often within just a few hours or minutes of the last update — we learn something more that requires us to plan and react in the best interests of our students and the University mission. This update covers information for students and employees, as well as University guests and partners. Medical school students and faculty will receive instruction specific to their campuses.

Rowan University held its sixth annual RowanGIVES Day on March 5—a day-long event that celebrated the spirit of philanthropy alongside an immeasurable amount of #ProfPride.

The "Handbook of Robotic and Image-Guided Surgery," edited by Dr. Mohammad Abedin-Nasab, is among five books nominated as finalists in the subject area of Engineering and Technology for the 2020 PROSE Awards.

Although no one in the Rowan community has tested positive for COVID-19, we are now preparing for the possibility that academic operations may be disrupted, including our students’ ability to attend class in person. To that end, the University will extend spring break through Friday, March 27, to allow faculty time to convert course content to be delivered virtually if academic operations are disrupted.

As the University prepares for spring break, there has been a lot of news developing about COVID-19. Please be assured that while it may seem as if the University is operating as usual, an emergency preparedness team has been monitoring developments daily and updating policies and procedures that will prepare Rowan for all scenarios.
