Our Stories

As we look to the future, our mission is to adapt how we do our work in partnership with others to better meet the needs of all of our students, and to curate an inclusive and integrated experience that helps students feel that they belong and are prepared for life after RU-N.  

The CARE team represents this holistic and personal approach to student well-being.

My main goals were to complete my graduate program with honors and it wasn’t until I spoke ODS that I realized what rights and protections I have as a person with Health conditions.

​LGBTQ+ Student Services has truly been my home away from home at Rutgers-Newark. From being able to attend events such as the Drag Show and Q-Chats to hanging out in the Pride Lounge in between classes, I have always felt safe and seen.

Being a part of HPD allowed me to pick up a wide variety of skills and gave me full knowledge of the services under Health and Wellness.

Being a student who is passionate about raising awareness and addressing interpersonal violence, I’ve worked closely with the Office of Title IX and ADA Compliance

Throughout my three years of working at the Pantry RUN as an undergraduate, I served the Rutgers community and did my part by helping the food insecurity on campus, which is an issue that is slowly diminishing on campus by providing food and resources.

OSLL promotes such a welcoming environment and means to make a tangible change on campus, I was able to serve RU-N, its students, and my own growth more than I ever hoped.

Through my involvement in The Office Of New Student and Family Programs while mentoring the students, I have been learning many new skills that provide me with a very good opportunity to grow as a human being and learn new life skills everyday, which I’m sure will be helpful in my coming future.
