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. Further information may be obtained from the Camden Campus Alumni Relations Office, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, 411 Cooper Street, Camden, NJ 08102 (856/225-6028).
