Clinical Academic Building Room 1302 125 Paterson Street, New Brunswick


Funded by a grant from Rutgers Biomedical and Health Sciences, the "Expressions of Me" multicultural series is designed to increase the sense of community at the medical school and RBHS through cultural fairs honoring different global regions, including artwork representing the region, culture or personality; spoken word; food tastings of regional cuisine; question-and-answer sessions; and discussions with a focus on enhancing and understanding diverse groups in our university community.

Funding Opportunities

Yield Giving Open Call


The Yield Giving Open Call is being managed by Lever for Change, a nonprofit that leverages its networks to find and fund solutions to the world’s greatest challenges, including racial inequity, gender inequality, lack of economic development, and climate change.


This initiative seeks community-led, community-focused organizations whose explicit purpose is to advance the voices and opportunities of individuals and families of meager or modest means, and groups who have met with discrimination and other systemic obstacles. Organizations best suited to this initiative will enable individuals and families to achieve substantive improvement in their well-being through foundational resources.


Interested organizations must register to apply before 4 p.m. U.S. Central Time on Friday, May 5, 2023. Learn more here.
