Class of 1965 — 55th 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 1965 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 55th reunion just yet, we can still make an enormous impact. Our campaign efforts to support the Rutgers Alumni Association Class of 1965 Scholarship Fund, as well as the Zimmerli Art Museum, the Office of Veteran and Military Programs, and the Rutgers Future Scholars program, directly impact the lives of 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 1965 Scholarship Fund and support the Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers Future Scholars program, and Rutgers Office of Veteran and Military Programs and Services.
It’s our 55th class anniversary!
With your help this milestone year, we will increase the endowment of our Class of 1965 Scholarship. In addition, we will focus on raising funds for the Zimmerli Art Museum, the Rutgers Future Scholars program, and the Office of Veteran and Military Programs and Services.
Every gift will help us reach our class giving goal; however, only gifts made specifically to the Class of 1965 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.
