Both the administration and students enjoy strong support from the  graduates of the School of Law-Camden. By working cooperatively through  the Department of Alumni Relations, School of Law graduates produce  programs that enhance the quality of education and student life at the  institution and provide fellow alumni with opportunities to maintain  ties with friends and classmates while supporting the law school`s  mission. 
      The Rutgers-Camden School of Law Alumni   Association is one of the university`s 20 independent alumni organizations  and represents more than 6,300 law school graduates. The association  sponsors both merit- and need-based scholarships for law students and  presents annual awards for scholastic excellence. Alumni are brought  together socially for events like the gala reunion dinner, several  regional gatherings in the mid-Atlantic states and other locales, and a  spring reception highlighted by the presentation of the Arthur E.  Armitage, Sr., Distinguished Alumni Award. The association also  partially supports the publication of Rutgers Law newsletter, which  contains association and class news in a special "Notes and Comments"  section. Active membership is maintained by the payment of alumni dues.  The association`s scholarship efforts are funded through alumni  contributions to the Rutgers Foundation. Membership dues make possible  all other activities. 
      The university also publishes Rutgers Magazine,  an award-winning quarterly for alumni and friends of the university.
