Regional Clubs (like our own RCSC) organize groups of alumni in their respective geographic areas.
They exist to promote the interests and welfare of Rutgers University. In NJ, the University looks to its
organized alumni associations to play a leadership role in efforts to involve alumni in the affairs of
their respective schools and colleges and the University. Outside of NJ, the regional clubs play a
crucial role in acquainting alumni with one another, in providing important ways of communicating with
our graduates from time to time on issues of importance to the University and to society, and in
encouraging alumni service, principally through student recruitment, fundraising, and community
service. In so doing, the regional clubs encourage hundreds of alumni worldwide to serve as
ambassadors for Rutgers in particular, and for higher education generally.
The Goals of a Regional Club
As you all know, our Rutgers Club of Southern California is a “Regional” Alumni Club, assisted by, but
not directly funded by, the University. We have our own dues to help cover our mailings and other
yearly costs and we do most of our own mailings, publish this newsletter and the directory, and
sponsor social and community events. We are often asked about the relationship of Regional Clubs
to the various Colleges’ Alumni Associations, like those for Rutgers, Douglass, Newark, and
Livingston Colleges. The following is taken from the Alumni Relations Regional Club Leadership
Manual.
Goals of Alumni Relations (and therefore, OUR goals, too)
A BIG THANK YOU to all of you who have supported and continue to support RCSC through the
years. We could not be the fantastic club we are without each and every one of you. We hope to see
you at one of the upcoming events over the next few months.

- to foster & nurture camaraderie among alumni and a spirit of goodwill & loyalty toward the
University, - to maintain and improve communication with alumni,
- to create opportunities for alumni to provide service to the University, its students, and other
alumni, - to foster outreach to alumni groups,
- to enhance the environment in which financial support for the University can flourish, and
- to provide opportunities for alumni to experience the cultural, social, and educational life of the
University.
