New students: have you joined a Scarlet Knight Interest Community yet? Check out the info from Rutgers University Student Centers and Activities below!

Calling all new Scarlet Knights! It’s not too late to join your Scarlet Knight Interest Community.

We know that one of the best parts of the college experience is making new friends and connections that can last a lifetime. Since classes this fall will be online and you will not be physically on campus, it is even more important for you to have the opportunities to meet other students and make connections when we are back on campus.

Learn more by visiting your NSO Involvement Module, or by visiting our website: sca.rutgers.edu/interest-communities. We hope to see you in your Community soon!

Please read this message from Salvador B. Mena, PhD, Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs, Rutgers University—New Brunswick:

Dear Scarlet Knights:

I’m writing to you today to acknowledge the protests that you’ve been seeing around the country and world following the death of Mr. George Floyd at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. This incomprehensible, inhumane incident and numerous many others like it before have fueled feelings of anger, frustration, hurt, sadness, hopelessness, fear, trauma, and exhaustion in our students and community. These unjust acts of police brutality and the dehumanization of marginalized communities have continued to plague this country.

As a university community, we must collectively recognize the heavy emotional and psychological toll this takes on all of us, especially on our Black students, staff, and faculty. We must condemn these acts of violence, anti-Blackness history as a nation, systemic racism, and all forms of interpersonal and structural oppression. As Scarlet Knights, our commitment to our values of inclusion, equity, and respect for all human dignity reminds us that we have both a collective and individual responsibility to each other in responding to these injustices and that it is more important now than ever before for each of us to engage with one another in meaningful ways. I hope you will do your part, as I will do mine, in reaching out to one another, checking in, and lending support.

Please know that we are thinking of you, we are here for you, and we encourage you to seek us out to talk and process what is happening. In the days ahead, you will hear directly from CAPS, Cultural Center Collaborative, Student Centers and Activities, and Dean of Students Office offering support and opportunities for engagement. Please do not hesitate to ask for help for both yourself and other students struggling and to get involved.

In closing, the last several months have been trying - mind, body, and soul - as we deal with a global pandemic and the tragedies involving George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade. I don’t know what the future holds for us, but I am sure of the potential we all hold for making a positive difference in the world by standing together in solidarity.

With you in mind,

Salvador B. Mena, PhD
Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs
Rutgers University–New Brunswick

Please read the following message from Chancellor Molloy and Chancellor Strom:

Dear Members of the Rutgers–New Brunswick and RBHS Communities:

Like many of you, we have watched in horror the video of George Floyd’s death at the hands of police officers in Minneapolis. What happened to Mr. Floyd is reprehensible and disturbing. But it is only the most recent example of the social injustice that still plagues our nation and leaves fellow Americans vulnerable to targeted attacks and systemic racism.

While we may be separated from Minnesota geographically, this incident of violence touches us all and underscores the fundamental importance of the Rutgers’ vision for a world where we are all treated fairly and justly. We must not let ourselves become immune to the injustice we witnessed this week or come to the point when we let these acts of violence go unacknowledged.

At a time when we should be coming together with kindness and concern for one another in the face of this global pandemic, our country became darker this week.

Finally, please remember that the university offers counseling services to help our community at times like this, despite our physical distance. If you are a student, please contact our CAPS program or UBHC for support. Faculty and staff are invited to contact the Rutgers Faculty and Staff Assistance Program (FSAP).

Sincerely,

Christopher J. Molloy, Ph.D.
Chancellor, Rutgers University–New Brunswick

Brian L. Strom, MD, MPH
Executive Vice President for Health Affairs, Rutgers University
Chancellor, Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences
