About the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni

In 1987, the Rutgers Hall of Distinguished Alumni was created to recognize alumni who, through their remarkable achievements in professional and civic life, have brought honor to themselves and the university. 

The Rutgers University Alumni Association is incredibly proud of these alumni, and we honor their achievements at the annual Hall of Distinguished Alumni Awards Gala. The gala is one of the many diverse programs that the RUAA offers in its mission to advance Rutgers University by engaging all alumni.
