Nominations for the next class of inductees into the Rutgers University Hall of Distinguished Alumni will be accepted through September 25.
The Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni selection process is underway—and there is still time for you to play a role in choosing the next class of honorees by making a nomination.
All nominations are considered by the Rutgers University Alumni Association (RUAA) Board of Directors, which makes the final selections. Everyone has the opportunity to nominate an alumna or alumnus for consideration by September 25. Alumni chosen for the honor will be inducted at a dinner ceremony and celebration on April 15 at Shadowbrook at Shrewsbury.
The honor is awarded to Rutgers graduates who have distinguished themselves through career and civic activities as well as philanthropy and service to the university. All alumni—and there are more than 600,000—are eligible for consideration.
Introduced in 1987, the hall’s first class of inductees included Paul Robeson and Nobel Prize-winning economist Milton Friedman. Since then, more than 200 alumni have been inducted, including five former New Jersey governors, Emmy Award-winning actor Sheryl Lee Ralph, and Carli Lloyd, a professional soccer star who led the U.S. team to two Olympic gold medals.
