Welcome to the Spring Semester and Scholarship Opportunities

January 27, 2025

Dear Scarlet Knights,

I hope you had a restful winter break and are excited for the spring semester. Whether you’re a first-time Scarlet Knight or are returning to the banks, I encourage you to take advantage of the many resources, programs, and events at Rutgers–New Brunswick.

A key resource to explore is the Student Affairs Scholarships page. It features scholarships offered by various departments within the Division of Student Affairs, with diverse requirements and reward amounts. Qualifications range from demonstrated merit and financial need to leadership, student involvement, and community service, among others.

Visit studentaffairs.rutgers.edu/scholarships to learn more and apply. Many applications close on February 3, 2025, so review the specific requirements for each scholarship soon. Most awards are applied to the spring 2025 term bills. For questions, contact Marisa Felice, Scholarship Coordinator: sascholarships@echo.rutgers.edu.

Spring Semester Activities

This semester opens up with a number of opportunities to connect and engage:

  • Spring Welcome Week: A series of events across campus through Friday, January 31 to help you build connections and engage in meaningful experiences.
  • Intramural Sports: Registration is open for spring intramural sports through Rutgers Recreation.
  • Grad Knights: First Weeks @ RU: Graduate Student Life and the Graduate Student Association are hosting their Spring 2025 Welcome and Open House on Thursday, January 30.
  • Black History Month: The Paul Robeson Cultural Center launches its Black History Month event calendar for February, starting with the Black History Month Opening Ceremony on Sunday, February 2.
  • Winter Career and Internship Mega Fair: Hosted by Career Exploration and Success, the fair runs from February 11 through February 14 at the Sonny Werblin Recreation Area (a change in location from previous years).

For more opportunities, visit getinvolved.rutgers.edu where you’ll find a variety of clubs, events, and programs that appeal to a wide range of interests.

If you, as a new or returning student, are experiencing any challenges that you might need assistance with, the Offices of the Dean of Students stand ready to help. Please do not hesitate to contact them at 848-932-2300 or deanofstudents@echo.rutgers.edu.

As always, I am a resource for you, and I encourage you to reach out if you would like to chat about anything related to Rutgers. I hold student office hours on Fridays from 10 a.m. to noon. Complete the interest form and we will follow up with meeting details.

I’m excited to experience the spring semester with you, Scarlet Knights!

Sincerely,

Salvador B. Mena, Ph.D. (he, him, el)
