Scott Glenn Named 2010 New Jersey Professor of the Year by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education

Rutgers’ Coastal Ocean Observation Lab, founded and codirected by 2010 New Jersey Professor of the Year Scott Glenn, is the most advanced lab of its kind on the planet. It is just one of many places at Rutgers where students can begin doing hands-on research as early as their first year.

In 2009, Glenn and his students successfully deployed and navigated Rutgers’ transatlantic glider on a 221-day voyage from New Jersey to Spain. The underwater glider, affectionately named “Scarlet Knight,” collects data that helps us better understand our oceans and coasts. It is on display at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The voyage was also the subject of a documentary, Atlantic Crossing, created with the help of Rutgers undergraduates.
