Thank you to everyone who helps support our students during Rutgers Giving Days. Your contributions help us continue to support our students in various ways so they may be successful at Rutgers and beyond.
Highlighted Student Affairs Funds
Asian American Cultural Center Programs Fund
The Asian American Cultural Center (AACC) promotes a supportive environment for all students at Rutgers University interested in issues relevant to the Asian Pacific Islander Desi American (APIDA) diaspora. The center provides educational, cultural, and social co-curricular programs and services that reflect the experiences of APIDA individuals. We aid students in exploring their personal identity and strive to cultivate greater awareness of the diversity and complexity of the APIDA experience. We are dedicated to fostering academic excellence, community engagement, and both personal and professional leadership.
Help us achieve our goal of raising funds to support impactful programs and initiatives, including the Centerʼs learning series, peer-to-peer programs, student leadership development initiatives, annual celebrations, and the continued impact of the AACC.

Center for Latino Arts and Culture Fund
The Center for Latino Arts and Culture (CLAC) is a student-centered, inclusive community where students can better integrate experiential, academic, and service-learning about Latinx/a/o arts and culture to become strong leaders and responsible global citizens.
The Center works to create a welcoming, supportive environment that values the diverse experiences of our students. We advocate for the well-being of students and work to foster access to university services and resources. Through intentional collaboration with academic and student affairs units, the Center works to enhance student recruitment, retention, and success at Rutgers.
Our CLAC Student Excellence Fund provides unique opportunities and peer-to-peer initiatives to enhance our students' academic pursuits and prepare them for advanced study and professional careers. Your donations will help fund student research projects, learning initiatives, conferences, travel abroad, graduate and career support, professional networking, and more.

Center for Social Justice and LGBT Communities Excellence Fund
The Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities (SJE) promotes a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds.
We are responsible for educating the campus community through workshops and campaigns, including our peer-to-peer Diversity Peer Education Program, which trains students to educate their peers on topics of inclusion and belonging. We continuously support student development through student leadership retreats, programs and events, and resources assisting student success.
Gifts made during Rutgers Giving Days will support student leadership development and student wages throughout the academic year. Your support allows us to continue to provide resources related to inclusion education and gender/sexuality to promote a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences, including the LGBTQIA+ community.

Parents Fund
The Parents Fund enhances the student experience through annual gifts from parents and family members of current and former students. Donations help create innovative learning opportunities, programs, and services that prepare students to lead, serve, and become engaged members of a global society; provides career-related advising, resources, and programs to help individuals discover their interests, values, and skills, explore careers and majors, develop skills through internships and experiential opportunities, and pursue their post-graduate goals, and helps support Rutgers University Libraries, which serve all members, support all disciplines, and play a key role in advancing student learning and faculty research.

Paul Robeson Cultural Center Fund
Donations to this fund help support Paul Robeson Cultural Center (PRCC) initiatives at Rutgers–New Brunswick. Donations contribute to making our student leadership development program accessible to as many students as possible. For example, the Harambee Leadership Series helps students in our Black cultural organizations develop their leadership and management skills to ensure their development and success.

Student Emergency Fund-New Brunswick
Students sometimes face unexpected emergencies or crises that threaten their academic progress. The Student Emergency Assistance Fund provides crucial financial support to help them navigate these difficult times. Your contributions ensure students have the resources they need to overcome obstacles and continue their education.

Student Basic Needs Fund
Your generous contributions to this fund play a crucial role in supporting Rutgers University students who face challenges in accessing basic necessities. This fund provides essential resources such as nutritious meals, groceries, toiletries, and other vital support services. By donating, you help ensure that every student has the opportunity to thrive academically and personally, without the burden of unmet basic needs.

How Our Work Impacts Students

On Saturday, for the thirteenth consecutive year, Student Centers and Activities in the Division of Student Affairs hosted the MARK Leadership Conference at the Livingston Student Center, featuring speakers and activities that will engage and encourage participants to make their “MARK” on the world.

When Reverend Katrina Jenkins was hired as the assistant dean of faith and spirituality in Off-Campus Life and Community Initiatives (OCLCI) in the Dean of Students Office, she immediately brought a new focus to interfaith organizing across the Rutgers—New Brunswick community. Soon after her hiring, Jenkins also began promoting something less familiar to students, staff, and faculty: labyrinth activities and workshops.

A new book coauthored by two Rutgers psychologists offers actionable insights into how racism can affect Black clients. Read this interview of co-authors Jennifer Jones-Damis, the first Black director of Counseling, Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program, and Psychiatric Services (CAPS) at Rutgers-New Brunswick, and Kelly Moore, the first Black director of the Rutgers Center for Psychological Services in the Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology.

Spring is arriving early this winter, as the New Brunswick Community Farmers Market will be hosting a pop-up at the Busch Student Center International Student Lounge on Wednesday, February 26, from 11 A.M. - 3 P.M. The pop-up will feature fresh food and produce, goods from local vendors, and information about student-centered resources in the Division of Student Affairs.

As the days grow shorter and colder, a familiar spirit of holiday generosity has returned to New Brunswick, as the Rutgers University Programming Association (RUPA) ran its annual Winter Wishes program on Saturday, December 7th and Recreation held its annual Big Chill 5k run on Saturday, December 14th. Read more about both events here!

When prospective students take tours of Rutgers—New Brunswick this fall and spring, they’ll be stopping at 90 Davidson on Busch Campus, where they will tour a two-person bedroom that models the standard on-campus housing option. Read more about the tour room and how it fits into Residence Life's engagement with incoming students!

While Rutgers—New Brunswick students can readily access a variety of health-related services on campus through Student Health, GSAPP CPS, and Counseling, Alcohol and Other Drug Assistance Program & Psychiatric Services (CAPS), some still fall through the cracks. That’s where Accessing Campus Connections and Empowering Student Success (ACCESS), an ADHD cognitive behavioral program new to Rutgers, comes in.
