So Many Choices: Where to Start

Charity Bed Races

Clubs & Organizations

Do you want to make the most of the Rutgers experience? Sure you do. And to make the most of your time at Rutgers, you want to get involved, whether that means flying off to West Virginia to build houses during an “alternative spring break” or helping to organize a dance marathon to raise money for charity (and, yes, dance the night away).

Maybe you’ll found a new online literary publication. Maybe you’ll help a food bank redesign its website. Whatever you do, you want to make a difference, and you can start by getting involved in one of the scores of clubs and organizations available to Rutgers students.
