Welcome!
Thanks for visiting the RUSA website. On behalf of the Rutgers University Student Assembly (RUSA), I hope you find our website both informative and interactive. Over the past two years at Rutgers, we have completely restructured undergraduate education and the landscape of our university. In this process, we have re-designed student government as well. RUSA is now the official voice of students at RU, and is comprised of the student assembly, as well as campus councils (one for each campus), and professional school councils. Now more than ever, there are opportunities for every student in the Rutgers Community to get involved in university governance.
