Congratulations Rutgers University – Class of 2024 Newark Graduates!

This year every graduating student will receive a Rutgers Zipper Pull Medallion in their regalia package compliments of the University. Attach this gift to your gown to show off your Rutgers pride at graduation! After Commencement, you can clip it on your keychain, jacket, gym bag, handbag or suitcase bringing your love of Rutgers everywhere you go.

In the effort to remain green on campus, all ­­­Rutgers students will be wearing environmentally conscious GreenWeaver^® regalia. This line of graduation wear is made of fabric spun from molten plastic pellets produced from 100% post-consumer recycled plastic bottles.

Each year in the US more than 35 billion plastic water bottles are thrown away, enough to circle the Earth four times. Most end up in landfills or incinerators, and millions litter America’s streets, parks, and waterways. With an average of 25 plastic bottles being used to produce your cap and gown; you are helping to ensure a cleaner, healthier future for our planet.

Since 2016, Universitywide, Rutgers has helped to divert OVER 2,362,550 plastic bottles from landfills!
