Eagleton Institute of Politics

The Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University was established in 1956 with an endowment from Florence Peshine Eagleton (1870–1953), and it focuses on state and national politics through education and public service. Ruth Mandel served as director for over 20 years, before being succeeded in that role by John Farmer Jr. in September, 2019, and Elizabeth C. Matto in September, 2022.

The institute is located at the Cook-Douglass Campus in New Brunswick, New Jersey, and is housed at Wood Lawn, which is listed on the New Jersey Register of Historic Places and National Register of Historic Places.
