Our Stories

“Rutgers University - Newark prides itself on being a very diverse and inclusive campus. Both our campus programming and special events reflect the vibrant campus culture and students we have here. Program Board caters to the U in University. It’s run by the students for the students. As much as we do focus on academics here, that is not all that RU-N is about. We host events that entertain, educate and create unity amongst our student groups. All work and no play creates robots. We rather create happy, functional people.” – Ariel Chambers, Excursion Chair of Program Board

Gourmet Dining gave me a support system to help me make my dream a reality.

The pantry is a safe space that diminishes the negative stigma that lies behind food pantries and seeking assistance.

My role within Student Affairs has given me the opportunity to build meaningful connections, improve my leadership skills, and contribute to creating a healthier and safer environment for all students.

I thought that my recovery life and my academic life couldn’t mix, but I’m so grateful for the Collegiate Recovery community at Rutgers Newark.

As an undocumented person, I have and continues to advocate

I’d like our students to feel that their experience at RU-N has directly influenced and developed them into who they will be after they leave the university. I’d like the RU-N experience to help students make their mark on the world.

The space showed to true meaning of what intersectionality truly means to me and a lot of what they provided for me will always stick with me.

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