Houshmands Hazardous Hot Sauce Bottles

Supporting Students In Need

Inspired by a 2016 student-run holiday auction that demonstrated huge demand for his homemade hot sauce, President Houshmand turned his gardening hobby into a fundraiser for students.

In 2017, the University began producing and selling Houshmand’s Hazardous Hot Sauce, with all proceeds benefiting the Rowan University Student Emergency Scholarship Fund.

The president grows the hottest varieties of peppers and other vegetables on the West Campus Farm with help from students. Dr. Houshmand himself leads all the gardening work.

The effort has directly and indirectly led to millions of dollars in donations to the University, with online customers ordering from as far away as Japan and Australia.
