Bob Fishman, a New Jersey native and celebrated scholar who taught at Rutgers–Camden for more than a quarter of a century after finishing his doctorate at Harvard University, has made a series of generous gifts to support students where he was once inspired as a young professor.

Mark and Shelley Lampf have attended Rutgers men’s basketball games for 48 years, starting with their first date, but one game was particularly meaningful. They presented a check for $250,000 to Rutgers Cancer Institute in memory of their late daughter, Stefanie Lampf Kennedy, from the foundation they created in her name to further cancer research.
