Our Crowdfunding Groups
The 42 women in the first graduating Class of 1922 established many enduring and beloved traditions for the thousands of women who would follow in their paths. On June 10, 1922 with graduation caps still in hand, the Class of 1922 established an alumnae organization as a means of strengthening alumnae ties and assuring each alumna a powerful voice.
Ninety-five years forward, the AADC has proudly continued to be alumnae-led, alumnae-created, and alumnae-driven. Since 1922, the AADC has been home to a vibrant and dynamic sisterhood and an unstoppable group of women who strive to impact the lives of other women. The AADC is committed to providing programs and initiatives that allow alumnae to achieve their ambitions, and continue a lifelong journey of learning and connecting to sister alumnae.
Join the AADC’s leadership in making a commitment to inspire another 95 years of excellence. Help celebrate the 95th Anniversary in the true spirit of alumnae sisterhood with a special unrestricted gift of $95 or more to the AADC Annual Appeal. The Annual Appeal is not on behalf of NJC, DRC, Douglass, or Rutgers.

$550 is in recognition of the year 1955. Proving that the AADC evolves with the times, this was the year the organization changed its name (as did alma mater) in honor of the founding Dean Mabel Smith Douglass. Thereby the Associate Alumnae of New Jersey College for Women became the Associate Alumnae of Douglass College.
