To the Rutgers University Graduate Student Community:
Last year, the Rutgers Graduate Student Association started a new tradition within our community. A tradition that allows us to showcase the best graduate leaders, advocates, organizations, and programs from the past academic year. We asked for your help in nominating your fellow graduate students, organizations, and faculty/staff allies who have made lasting, positive impacts on our community.
