The Honors College Affinity Groups are student-led communities intended to provide a place for students to gather and share their experiences at the Honors College and in the greater Rutgers community. The groups are culture-based and work in collaboration with the Honors College staff and Rutgers Cultural Centers: The Center for Social Justice Education and LGBT Communities, Paul Robeson Cultural Center, Asian American Cultural Center, and the Center for Latino Arts and Culture.


Our Honors College Affinity Groups include the:

  • Asian Affinity Group
  • Black Affinity Group
  • Latinx Affinity Group
  • LGBTQ+ Affinity Group
  • International Student Affinity Group
