Eagleton alumni stay connected with one another and the Institute through dedicated networking events and activities sponsored by the Eagleton Alumni Committee. This official Rutgers alumni club was established in conjunction with the Institute’s 50th anniversary in 2006 to encourage networking, unity, and a sense of belonging among Eagleton alumni; to support alums in their professional and personal endeavors; and connect to the research, education, and public service efforts of the Eagleton Institute of Politics.
Eagleton alumni can join the committee at any point throughout the academic year. Email Sarah Kozak if you would like to join at skozak@eagleton.rutgers.edu. EAC meetings will be held both hybrid and virtually using Zoom. Members attend, at a minimum, at least one EAC meeting and at least one Eagleton event each year. In-person meetings include a networking dinner in addition to an Eagleton update and committee agenda. EAC members cover the expense of their meal, $25 per person, so our alumni funds can continue to go directly to student support.
We enjoy being members of the Eagleton Alumni Committee and it is a distinct privilege to serve as your leadership team. Feel free to contact us with suggestions, concerns, or comments.
We look forward to seeing you this year back at Wood Lawn!
Sincerely,
