Dear Highlanders,
As the first month of 2024 comes to a
New Jersey Institute of Technology and its New Jersey Innovation Institute are proud to announce the establishment of a new Office of Corporate Engagement, a joint strategic initiative aimed at enhancing and expanding the university’s corporate partnerships.
This new office will be led by Executive Director Vincent Lombardo, a dedicated member of the NJIT community who brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to fostering collaborative relationships.
Business publication ROI-NJ features three leaders from New Jersey Institute of Technology in its 2024 lists of influencers in higher education.
Preaching patience, courage and resilience, MGM Construction Co. President and CEO Marjorie Perry urged the Class of 2024 at New Jersey Institute of Technology to become lifelong learners as they apply their imagination to real-world challenges.
Perry, an NJIT alumna who serves on its Foundation Board of Directors, called on the undergraduates earning bachelor’s degrees to be “agents of change in our communities” and build a future “that we can all be proud of.”
Innovation is at the heart of New Jersey Institute of Technology, be it in research, the delivery of education or the specialized, high-tech machinery inside the university’s labs and Makerspace. In fact, NJIT aims to be a nexus of innovation under its new strategic plan.
As such, it’s fitting that five Highlanders are being recognized by New Jersey Business Magazine in its first Innovate100 list, which includes accomplished leaders in business, nonprofits, government and academia.
