Bloustein School faculty and staff at the school participated in a Holiday Door Decorating Contest to raise funds for Rutgers Against Hunger. Congratulations to first place winners Krystyn Kmac Kitto and Courtney Culler on their “Safe Routes to the Dean’s Office” themed door! The Bloustein Center for Survey Research made a group effort for their door and placed second, and Voorhees Transportation Center staff member Gail Columbia took third.
