Recently chartered, the GSNBAA was formed to unite alumni and friends of the Graduate School in support of the school’s efforts to continue to achieve excellence in graduate education and research as well as to maintain a lifelong bond with each other. There are no dues and all graduates are automatically members. The Graduate School has more than 20,000 living alumni from over 60 programs of study. Our global reach is impressive, extending to 100 countries, but our New Jersey roots are strong with half of our graduates remaining within a few hundred miles of the University. To learn more about the GSNBAA and to view our calendar of upcoming events, please visit our website at gradschoolalumni.rutgers.edu. 38 39 40
