I get excited when I see a Block R. I have fond memories of friends and activities I enjoyed when I lived on campus. I appreciate the professors who provided opportunities and pushed me to achieve more than I could have imagined. After graduation, I found a supportive alumni community. I am never alone when I am back on the Banks. As a proud alum, I freely give my time, talent and treasure to support Rutgers. Scarlet Forever means being thankful for my education while being an ambassador for Rutgers.

Priscilla Glover, RC’92
What it Means to be Scarlet ForeverAs an out-of-state student from the Southeast, the gritty intensity of intelligent, humble, and driven Rutgers students was intimidating yet inspirational. The students and faculty at Rutgers reminded me I was not entitled to success and pushed me to strive for excellence. Rutgers gave me the character and academic foundation necessary to succeed professionally. In return, and in gratitude, I am committed to supporting the success of Rutgers as an institution and helping build the strength of the RUAA network.Industry
