Who we are…

The Scarlet Forum is a student-led organization that is dedicated to amplifying each other’s voices, fostering meaningful group discussion, and advocating for change through journalism. We connect with individuals who are passionate about public policy, who want to create a social impact, and who are storytelling through their research. By hosting club meetings and having our writers publish in the academic journal, we strive to provide a space where individuals’ ideas can be shared with the Executive Board's permission. Our goal is to encourage students to lead conversations in group settings, serve others, and create a meaningful impact outside of the classroom.

Our background…

Founded in November 2025, The Scarlet Forum is an academic journal led by students from different academic backgrounds at Rutgers University. What was originally sought out to be an academic journal has grown into a club where members can edit each other’s publications, get involved in community service, and engage in group discussions. Founded by Yana Prakhina, the club believes that creating informative conversations fosters student growth and positive change.
