Congratulations! Your student is attending the Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. Mason Gross students are some of the most talented, focused, and high achieving artists in the world, but despite their incredible drive, talent, and past achievements they may find the demands of navigating an artistic and academic path at a large research university challenging and even daunting. If they are feeling this – DON’T WORRY! We’ve got them covered, and you covered to support them in the best possible way.
