Haitian Association at Rutgers University

The purpose of the organization shall be to eradicate all the stereotypes and misconceptions about Haiti and provide a friendly environment for students of Haitian descent and any others interested in learning about the beautiful culture. Its main objective is to form a bridge between the various cultures existing within the university. As such, the meetings are open to anyone who would be interested in learning more about our culture or just becoming a part of the community while we have been at Rutgers. To add, while this is a club that is focused on Haitian culture, we try to make a balance throughout the semester by having events that anybody would be able to participate fully in.

HARU’s “Evening in the Heart of Haiti” is a philanthropic banquet whose purpose is to educate the public on Haitian culture by immersing them in an atmosphere full of Haitian history, music, dance, and cuisine. We recognize that there are many stigmas surrounding our beautiful culture; therefore, each year, to combat them, we provide our peers an opportunity to spend an evening in the heart of Haiti, thus allowing us the chance to educate them on the beautiful realities of our culture. Every year, we select a philanthropic cause to support and an organization whose mission addresses a pressing issue in the community. In summary, the goal of “Evening in the heart of Haiti” is to raise awareness of the Haitian issues to the larger Rutgers community and forge relationships among other Haitian Organizations from other universities.
