The RevolUtionary monument makes a move
to Voorhees Mall this month. |
Have you seen Rutgers' birthday gift from Johnson & Johnson? The "
RevolUtionary" monument will be traveling throughout the university for the next year, but this month you can visit it on Voorhees Mall. In addition to being a great photo op, we encourage you to download the free
Donate-A-Photo app and help students earn scholarships by posting a photo.
For every photo you donate, Johnson & Johnson will give $1 to Rutgers. That $1 helps support need-based scholarships for students in health care-related fields at Rutgers. For every 1,000 photos donated, a Rutgers student in a health care field will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship.
