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 to raise funds in support of impactful programs and initiatives, including the center’s Peer Mentoring Program, the APIDA+ programmatic series, student leadership development initiatives, the annual APIDA Graduation & Leadership Awards ceremony, and the continued growth of our community.

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 intersectionality and social justice. We advocate for the well-being of our students and work to create effective access to university services and resources. Through intentional collaboration with academic and student affairs units, the Center works to enhance Latinx student recruitment, retention, and successful graduation at Rutgers University.

Our CLAC Student Excellence Fund provides unique opportunities and mentoring initiatives that will enhance the academic pursuits of our students and prepare them for advanced study and their professional careers. Your donations will help fund student research projects, mentoring initiatives, conferences, travel abroad, graduate and career support, and professional networking, and so much more.

The Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities (SJE) promotes a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds, with a focus on gender and sexuality.

We have an incredible responsibility to educate the entire campus community through workshops and trainings, including our peer-to-peer Diversity Peer Education Program which trains students to educate their peers on topics of diversity, inclusion, and social justice.  We continuously support student development through on- and off-campus student leadership retreats, programs and events, and resources that assist in student success.

Gifts made during Rutgers Giving Days will fund student wages and stipends throughout the academic year. Your support allows us to continue to be the campus-wide resource around gender, sexuality, and social justice issues and promote a supportive environment for students of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences, with a focus on the LGBTQIA+ community.

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.

Donations to this fund help support upcoming Paul Robeson Cultural Center Initiatives at Rutgers–New Brunswick. Donations to the Paul Robeson Cultural Center Fund most recently assisted the PRCC  in supporting our student leadership development program, the Harambee Leadership Series helps leaders of Black cultural organizations define and develop their leadership skills.

Every year, we encounter students striving to continue their education following an unexpected emergency or devastating incident. Others face food insecurity, homelessness, and domestic troubles. Donations to the Student Emergency Fund give direct financial help to students who are unable to meet their urgent and basic needs due to an unanticipated emergency or temporary challenging circumstances.

Gifts to the Student Emergency Fund ensure that students experiencing an unforeseen hardship have the financial resources they need to avoid dropping out or taking time away from earning their degree.

Your contribution will go directly to the Student Basic Needs Fund, where it will assist in advancing strategic projects, reinforce core services, and provide support for students experiencing food and housing insecurity at Rutgers University-New Brunswick.
