Our Story

The Rutgers Club of Southern California, founded in 1947 is one of the oldest Rutgers Alumni Clubs in the country. Since its founding, the club has sought to bring SoCal Rutgers alumni together through outings, meetings, and events, as well as maintain and strengthen their university connection by fostering feelings of Rutgers community and pride. We may be far from our beloved Alma Mater, but the Rutgers Club of Southern California aims to make that distance feel smaller by keeping the Rutgers spirit alive and well in SoCal.

All Rutgers alumni within Southern California, minus San Diego, are considered participants in our club.
