The Rutgers Genetics Alumni Project

The Department of Genetics graduated its first class of three in 2000 and we are growing by 45 to 65 graduates per year. Some of our graduates have completed medical and dental school, others have completed PhD’s. Some of our graduates work in industry; others are teachers, genetic counselors, nurses, lawyers, etc. Collectively, the faculty, staff, alumni and current students make up a network that is more intelligent than any one of us is individually. It may not have been apparent, but the faculty members learn as much from our students as they learned from us. With modern technology such as Facebook and LinkedIn, it is possible to sustain and increase the network that is Rutgers Genetics.

How can you help? First, keep us updated so we can keep you updated! Fill out this Google form with your most recent contact and career information.  You are also encouraged to join the LinkedIn groupRutgers Genetics Alumni”. When you join it would help immensely if you would post a picture and a brief profile (What you are doing currently, your email address and/or other contact information, etc.)  A few alumni have posted offers of support for students who want to know about law school or other opportunities. We could also share job announcements. Finally, you should encourage your former classmates to also join. 

If you are uncomfortable with joining LinkedIn, we have created special email account () just for alumni to keep us updated. Summary information and announcements will be available on the main webpage for the department.

The Department of Genetics welcomes gifts from alumni, parents, and friends of Rutgers University. Financial contributions to the Department support student scholarships, fellowships and research, as well as faculty research endeavors.
