From the President

Jeffrey ArmusWelcome to the Livingston Alumni Association!

The Livingston Alumni Association (LAA) is working to preserve the legacy and history of Livingston College, which thrived as an innovative undergraduate unit at Rutgers University for more than 40 years (from 1969 to 2010). We hope you will join us for our programs that celebrate Livingston’s unique history and mission, including Theater Nights and our biennial Distinguished Alumni and Livingston Legacy Awards. We welcome your involvement and ideas for new programs!

Contact info@ if you would like to get more information, or to join our volunteer team and board. If you’re not a participating member of the LAA, now’s the time to check out our activities. We look forward to seeing you!

In Rutgers Spirit,
Jeffrey Armus, LC’77
President

Join Us

2006 Livingston Awards DinnerRutgers alumni interested in supporting the LAA’s goals of preserving the history and advancing the legacy of Livingston College are invited to join the LAA Executive Board and Council.

The board meets several times per year in person and by phone. So the board is not limited to Livingston College graduates or those who live in Central New Jersey.

Alumni may also be interested in serving on LAA committees without joining the board. These committees work on multiple projects throughout the year. Some examples are:

  • Planning the LAA’s awards and social events, including the annual All-Alumni Theater Events.
  • Selecting a student each year for the Riki Jacobs Livingston Pride Award.
  • Collecting and analyzing Livingston historical documents.

Interested in helping?  Please email LAA President Jeff Armus (jmarmus55@) for more information.
