Alumni Relations
The university seeks the full support of
its alumni and, in return, offers them a number of services and
programs. Rutgers University`s Department of Alumni Relations is
responsible for working with the more than 330,000 Rutgers alumni. The
mission of the department is to increase and strengthen alumni support
for Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, and its schools and
colleges, recognizing that their graduates are the institution's only
enduring and permanent constituency. The department maintains contact
with Rutgers alumni, informing them of the university's programs and
services, in the hopes that the alumni will continue to support Rutgers
in fulfilling its mission of providing outstanding academic and
extra-curricular programming. The department also encourages alumni to
continue to foster their relationship with the university and with
their peers by attending social, cultural, educational, and
service-based activities.
There are 19 alumni associations
that represent the many undergraduate and graduate schools within
Rutgers. The 19 alumni associations are wholly represented by the
Rutgers University Alumni Federation, which sponsors universitywide
programs such as Homecoming, the Hall of Distinguished Alumni Awards,
the Alumni Meritorious Service Awards, group travel, and group
insurance. Each alumni associate sponsors events and programming based
on the interests and goals of their particular alumni and college.
Scholarships, student recruitment, career guidance, and social
activities are just a few of the programs that an alumni association
may participate in. Active membership in an alumni association is
maintained through a yearly dues program and members receive special
benefits. The Department of Alumni Relations provides guidance and
administrative services to the alumni associations, as well as to the
network of regional clubs located throughout the country. One such
administrative function is the maintenance of biographical and address
records of alumni. The university also publishes the Rutgers Magazine
for alumni and friends to keep abreast of news at Rutgers. For
