Back-to-school buzz has returned to campus, and with it has come the latest wave of promising first-year students hailing from NJIT’s home city of Newark.
Responding to a student need, New Jersey Institute of Technology has opened a Career Closet that supplies free dress clothes, shoes and accessories for interviews, internships or jobs.
The closet, on the fourth floor of the Campus Center, also offers seasonal and casual clothes for campus residents and commuters. It’s connected to a revamped Food Pantry that has everything from canned and boxed foods to produce and toiletries.
Student athletes are coming from across the U.S. and around the world to study and compete at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

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.
As interim dean of NJIT’s Hillier College of Architecture and Design, Gabrielle Esperdy found ways to apply design thinking to the challenges of leading an academic college of more than 1,000 students.
Now, as she starts her first month as dean, she realizes that her background prepared her well for administration. Also, the support of President Teik C. Lim and Provost John Pelesko spurred her to be an active interim dean and ultimately apply for the job.
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.”
Speaker after speaker reinforced what Kevin Belfield, dean of the College of Science and Liberal Arts at New Jersey Institute of Technology, said about the university’s Math Success Initiative: “It takes a village to put a program like this together.”
The speakers were at a campus ceremony celebrating the first students to experience MSI and graduate from NJIT: Okyere Boateng, Brian Herrera-Calle, Catherine Ochoa and Steff Pitti.
A group of film students and faculty from the NJIT-Rutgers Theatre Arts Program have taken creative inspiration from the cinematic universe of N.J.-born filmmaker Kevin Smith, and it’s earned them recognition from the iconic writer/director himself.
As data from the Anti-Defamation League shows antisemitism growing on college campuses in recent years and spiking after the Hamas-Israel conflict, a New Jersey Institute of Technology researcher is doing her part to combat the trend by developing a training model that will help prepare mental health professionals who work with Jewish students.
A year earlier than targeted, New Jersey Institute of Technology has earned the federal distinction of being a Hispanic-serving institution (HSI).
