Care Packages and Gift Cards

There is no greater feeling for students, than to look in their mailbox and see that slip of paper that says they have a package waiting for them. Students everywhere love to get boxes of food and other supplies from their family.

Alumni Association Care Package

Little things mean a lot! Rowan University Alumni Association provides a variety of Care Packages for parents and family members to send to their student as expression of support, appreciation, and caring. Here are some items that parents and family members may send to their student with a personal handwritten note:

  • The Welcome Package arrives just after school begins, loaded with energy boosting snacks and easy meal substitutions for late wake ups or working through lunch or dinner.
  • The Valentine Surprise will boost your student with a traditional heart-shaped box of chocolates, Hershey’s Kissables, an inflatable “I Love You” heart, a fun box of those tiny Conversations Hearts and lots more.
  • The Move-In Mug serves a generous mixture of coffees, teas, cocoa and cold drinks designed to keep students alert during long nights with the books.
  • The Good Luck Pizza Card get your student a Free Medium Pizza with each large pie purchased at Domino’s near campus. Good for over 15 pizzas in a year.

The Care Packages will be available for pick up during the first week of classes. Your student will need to pick up his or her package at the Alumni House on campus.
