SEA is a student organization founded around the ideas of environmental education, awareness, and activism. Without a sound understanding of environmental and social issues, students will not be able to make effective decisions that will benefit them in the long run. SEA, therefore, provides the needed outlet at Rutgers University for students to voice their environmental concerns, learn effective and creative ways to deal with their concerns, and educate others about these concerns.

Students for Justice in Palestine is concerned with social, political, cultural, and human rights issues throughout Palestine.
Our mission is to shed light on injustices currently taking place in Palestine, as well as to empower students to elucidate truths and eradicate such injustices. SJP seeks to organize according to democratic principles in order to promote justice, human rights, liberation, and self-determination for the Palestinian people. SJP is dedicated to raising awareness through education by the means of guest speakers, forums for uncensored discussion, and various forms of artistic expression. We seek to provide a politically active voice for the diverse and marginalized Palestinian communities on campus. However, we do not limit our leadership or membership to these communities; we view the struggles in Palestine as issues of concern to all peoples, irrespective of race, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, etc. We seek to work with other groups, within and outside Rutgers, as a means of promoting our positive mission.
