What would you like to say to the R Fund donors who have provided for your scholarship and/or facility resources? |
I would like to say thank you for being our biggest fan and always looking out for our program, we are all so grateful to have a donor that is so involved and at every game, even some away games! |
How has Rutgers and donor support changed your life? |
Rutgers has been the best experience of my life and has really molded me into the person I am today, if I could go to Rutgers as a student athlete for 20 more years I would. Rutgers is home and the fact that I only have one year left makes me realize I can’t take anything that this experience offers for granted |
