Rutgers is once again hosting its yearly Involvement Fair along College Avenue, offering students a single afternoon to connect with a wide range of campus clubs, athletic groups, cultural associations, and Greek organizations. The event runs on Sunday, August 30 from 3:00 to 7:00 p.m., with Monday, August 31 set as the backup date in case of rain. Culture Fest and Meet the Greeks will also be part of the celebration. Admission is free and no signup is needed. Be sure to bring a refillable water bottle and a bag to carry the free items you’ll pick up as you walk the street.
While you’re making your way through the fair, stop by Rutgers Oasis Church (www.Rutgers.Church). You’ll find our table located on our own grounds at 100 College Ave in New Brunswick.
We’d love to greet you and share the new chapter unfolding at ROC. Our vision is expanding to include families while continuing to create a warm home for students and singles.
Mark these important dates:
- Preview gatherings: Sunday, August 30 and Sunday, September 6
- Official launch celebration: Sunday, September 13
Worship begins at 12:00 noon each Sunday, yet we invite everyone to arrive by 11:30 a.m. Free brunch is served at that time, creating space to connect, share a meal, and settle in before the service.
If you’re seeking friendship, spiritual growth, or a place where you truly feel at home, we hope you’ll visit us. Come find our table at 100 College Ave during the Involvement Fair so we can talk about the road ahead at ROC.
