Rutgers African-American Alumni Alliance Hall of Fame: 20th Anniversary Induction

The Rutgers African American Alumni Alliance is proud to introduce the 2023 inductees of their 20th Anniversary Hall of Fame.  Since it began in 2004, the RAAA Hall of Fame has honored more than 100 alumni; celebrating and honoring the accomplishments of Rutgers University graduates who have distinguished themselves through contributions made to their communities, to the University, or in their fields of endeavor.  The leadership they have exhibited has greatly benefitted their communities. The ceremony also provides our students with a glimpse of the endless possibilities their futures hold.  It affords them the opportunity to network and connect with their extended family, namely Rutgers Alumni.

Showcasing the continuum of Rutgers excellence, the 20^th-anniversary class includes civic leaders, technical innovators, public health leaders, artists, entrepreneurs, and community activists—All exemplars, the class includes dynamic young executive Ukachi Anonyuo, who showcases the impact of having both a Rutgers Engineering degree and a Rutgers Business School MBA; Chuck Chaplin, product of a diehard Rutgers family tradition, who has been profiled as one of the individuals who literally helped transform the face of corporate America (Executive Leadership Council’s “Cracking the Corporate Code”) as well as Rutgers (serving on the Board of Directors of the Rutgers University Foundation and then the Board of Trustees); to Darrell K. Terry, Sr., leader of Newark Beth Israel Medical Center, an institution that Newark’s mayor has said is critical to the Newark community’s health, and essential to its quality of life and sense of security.
