Class of 1960 — 60th Milestone
Alumni Weekend, originally planned for April 24 and 25, has been postponed, helping to slow the spread of COVID-19. During this time of uncertainty, this decision is best for the protection of Rutgers’ alumni, staff, faculty, and friends.
During these difficult times, student support is more critical than ever.
The Class of 1960 has always remained dedicated to supporting the needs of students through our generous giving over the years. Now is no different. Despite not convening on campus for our 60th reunion just yet, we can still make an enormous impact. Our campaign efforts to support the Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund, Rutgers Future Scholars program, and the Class of 1960 Student Glider Endowment Fund impact the lives of Rutgers students. And right now, scholarships are of the utmost importance as students grapple with a loss of on-campus jobs, income, affordable housing, and basic necessities.
If you have the means, please give what you can because student support is vital during this time. After all, at Rutgers, this is what we do. We come together as a community to work together when it’s needed most. Your generosity will help prepare the next generation of students to better our world.
Please stay safe, be well, and thank you in advance for your continued generosity.
Class Giving Goal
Increase the endowment of the Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund, support Rutgers Future Scholars program and other university priorities.
It’s our 60th class anniversary!
This milestone year, please join us in making a gift to the Class of 1960 Fund. Your gift will help increase the endowment of the Class of 1960 Scholarship Fund, as well as support other university priorities, such as the Rutgers Future Scholars Program. Each year, the Future Scholars program offers 200 first-generation, low-income, academically promising middle school students the opportunity for a college education.
One of our generous classmates has pledged $50,000 as a “Matching Challenge” to encourage additional classmate support. We need your help to achieve our goal! Every gift will count in our class giving total, however, only gifts made specifically to the Class of 1960 Fund will support our special class gift initiatives.
Don’t forget! Reunion is the perfect time to think about including Rutgers in your estate planning. Through an IRA rollover, gift in your will, or beneficiary designation, you can have a meaningful, long-term impact while taking steps to benefit your own financial situation.
