Scarlet Council
All Rutgers University–New Brunswick undergraduate students are invited to join the Scarlet Council, a group of student leaders who know what it means to be Scarlet Forever and who are excited to develop new opportunities that connect students and alumni through philanthropy and meaningful engagement. By planning and being a part of social and professional development events, leaders of Scarlet Council create long-lasting relationships with each other, the university, and a vast alumni network.
