Affinity Group Leaders
The Honors College Affinity Group Leaders provide opportunities for all students to engage in collective support and exploration of cultures and identities, regardless of their own.
Student Leadership Opportunities
One of the highest impact opportunities a student can have is to serve as a student leader. Leadership provides opportunities for personal, professional, and intellectual growth, as well as the opportunity to serve our community and beyond. Our programs and initiatives are made possible by the work of Honors College student leaders.
Students across the Honors College community benefit from the contributions of our student leaders who serve as mentors and create programming across topics involving intellectual, wellness, professional development, and community explorations.

Leadership Opportunities

Ambassadors
Honors College Ambassadors are current students who share their experiences and stories with prospective students and their families. Ambassadors volunteer in providing tours of the honors spaces at 5 Seminary Place, connecting with prospective students at events such as showcases, open house, and other special on and off campus events, and sometimes representing the Honors College at their former high schools.

Made up of photographers, videographers, graphic designers, writers, and other creative individuals, the Media Team contributes content to the Honors College website, student blog, social media platforms, newsletters, and marketing materials.
Honors Community Mentors
Honors Community Mentors are student leaders who help to engage Honors College students in shared experiences that directly connect to the Honors College mission.
Honors Peer Mentor Program
Honors Peer Mentors host workshops and events for all students, and some exclusively for program members, regarding academic and career topics and opportunities, and the program offers 1:1 mentorship pairings to first-year students so they can connect with upper grade students.
Honors Programming Committee (HPC)
The Honors Programming Committee (HPC) is a student-run organization that serves the Rutgers University–Honors College student population with signature events across the New Brunswick campus. As an extension of the Student Support & Inclusive Communities unit, we strive to fulfill the idea of making memorable programs by providing on-campus programs that support the Honors College Student Success outcomes throughout the academic year.
Residence Hall Association
Residence Hall Association (RHA) is the largest on-campus organization at Rutgers University and the largest organization of its kind in the country. Each residence hall has an RHA that is comprised of current residents who take on leadership roles to be the voice of the building’s residential population.
