Rutgers University–Camden is proud to announce that Paul Boyd, a junior in the College of Arts and Sciences majoring in philosophy, has been named a 2024 Harry S. Truman Scholar.

Tillis. “He now has a well-deserved place in the Rutgers–Camden history books, achieving this distinction through his hard work and academic excellence. I cannot wait to see how Paul will make the most of this opportunity as he builds a career in public service.”
