ADVOCATE

The Rutgers University Student Assembly is a representative body, elected by Rutgers students, that advocates on behalf of students at the university, state, and federal levels by actively engaging with administrators, stakeholders, and legislators to advance student interests.

• Joined the Association of Big Ten Schools (ABTS), a coalition that serves to help advocate on behalf of 500,000+ BIG 10 students at the federal level.

• Manage Meal Swipes for Charity, an initiative in collaboration with Rutgers Dining Services that aims to give our peers the opportunity to donate unused guest meal swipes at the end of every semester to benefit a charitable organization (selected by the Student Assembly).

• Participate in Good Neighbor Welcome with RUPD, NBPD, Division of Student Affairs, and the Mayor’s office to welcome off-campus student residents and distribute safety information.
