A group of NJIT undergraduate and graduate students recently shared their STEM expertise with students in grades 3 to 5 from dozens of New Jersey schools.
Technology for the greater good of society. That is a principal tenet of the NJIT mission, and one that is carried forward by the university’s Ying Wu College of Computing (YWCC) and its many initiatives to increase education and opportunity for K-12 students in the city of Newark.
At New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), the path to STEM achievement often begins long before college. Through its nationally recognized Center for Pre-College Programs (CPCP), the university engages students in grades 4–12 each year — many from Newark and other historically underserved communities — with academic enrichment designed to spark discovery, cultivate leadership and build confidence in the next generation of scientists, engineers, designers and innovators.
The American Astronomical Society (AAS) has named Dale Gary, distinguished professor of physics at NJIT’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (CSTR), one of 24 new AAS Fellows for 2025.
The Society annually honors the most distinguished members from its global community of over 8,000 astronomers, recognizing extraordinary achievements and service in the astronomical sciences.
Five of this year’s Governor’s STEM Scholars are from New Jersey Institute of Technology — the most from any college in the state and the university’s highest total in a single year.
The Highlanders are among a select cohort of 16 college-level scholars and a larger pool of 111 that includes high school students interested in STEM.
Each college scholar plays a leadership role, sharing expertise and offering guidance to a group of about a half-dozen high schoolers as they tackle global problems at a local level.
With artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT rapidly gaining traction among students and teachers alike, it’s no surprise the topic took center focus at NJIT’s 8th Annual STEM Forum for School Leaders, “Leading the Digital Transformation in Our Schools.”
New Jersey Institute of Technology has maintained its remarkable run in The Princeton Review’s annual guide to the best universities and colleges in the United States.
For the 33rd straight year, NJIT is featured in the guide, which is based on surveys of some 168,000 students. Just 15% of the nation’s four-year institutions made The Best 390 Colleges for 2025. Each is listed alphabetically.
The legacy of Kelly O’Connor, who was an active alumna of New Jersey Institute of Technology for 30 years, endures with two new scholarships that will serve female students who are interested in STEM.
New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) earned the top rating in Money’s 2024 analysis of the Best Colleges in America.
With five stars, NJIT tied Princeton University as the highest-rated university in New Jersey and matched STEM schools like MIT, Georgia Institute of Technology and California Institute of Technology.
A special group of NJIT’s graduating seniors is finishing undergraduate life with a flourish — their achievements across the humanities and STEM sciences recently earned them the Outstanding Student Award at the College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards this month.
In the first of a two-part series, we catch up with this year’s winners who share their successes and memorable moments at NJIT, as well as exciting plans following Commencement 2024.
