Rutgers Alumni Book Club

Did you know that RBS staff members are, not only eligible, but welcome to join the Rutgers Alumni Book Club? This FREE benefit is available to all Rutgers faculty, staff and alumni and is a great opportunity to read interesting books and discuss them with your peers.

Titles are proposed by the Book Club Committee and then selected by members who vote for their favorites. Recent publications include The Henna Artist by Alka Joshi and Once Upon A River by Diane Setterfield. Each book also includes a lively virtual session where the author, or other literary expert, speaks about their work and answers questions from club members. It is really a special treat to discuss contemporary literature with the writers themselves.

The reading period for each book is several weeks, low pressure, and very manageable. Same for posting on the lively Rutgers Alumni Book Club discussion board. Although we would certainly love for you to become an engaged member and participate often, that is totally up to you.

Signs of Spring

Daffodils blooming throughout the Livingston campus are a sure sign of spring, but the large planters on the 100 Rock Plaza, full of colorful pansies, is what I find especially uplifting this season. Did you know that, in response to the global pandemic and ensuing fiscal emergency, Rutgers did not plant flowers the past two years?

So next time you cross the footbridge to the Scarlet Lot or dash across campus on a scooter, please take a moment to appreciate the beautiful flowers brightening our campus. I, for one, will not be taking them for granted anymore.
