New Jersey Institute of Technology maintains its national reputation for return on investment and career placement in 2023 rankings from The Princeton Review.

Among public schools, The Princeton Review ranked NJIT No. 11 on its list of the Top 20 for Best Career Placement and No. 35 on its list of the Top 50 Best Value Colleges. 

Some of NJIT’s brightest up-and-coming researchers grabbed center stage on campus at the Dana Knox Student Research Showcase, a springtime tradition that continues to highlight student ingenuity and diverse research accomplishments across the university’s six colleges.

For participants of the 18^th annual research competition, it was a special opportunity to connect with the campus community by discussing their recent discoveries and innovations, most of which have been years in the making.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has selected John Pelesko to serve as its next provost and senior vice president for academic affairs after a nationwide search. Pelesko, currently the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Delaware (UD), will start on Aug. 1.

David E. Jones is just a few months into his role as chief diversity officer at New Jersey Institute of Technology yet already has a visible presence.

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s new vice provost for enrollment management, Susan Gross, brings 20 years of experience in admissions and financial aid at universities and law schools.

Gross, who starts Jan. 17, arrives after more than eight years at Stevens Institute of Technology, where she was assistant vice president for enrollment management and earlier, director of financial aid. During that period, Stevens saw applications nearly double, enrollment increase by more than a third and the percentage of female and underrepresented students rise steadily.

NJIT joined the global generosity movement GivingTuesday and campaigned to fight food insecurity by highlighting the university’s food pantry. 

The first $5,000 raised in support of the NJIT food pantry was doubled thanks to a generous match from Mary Ann and Peter A. Cistaro ’68. At the end of the fundraiser, a total of $14,203 was raised. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology has tapped David E. Jones, a leading voice for diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging in higher education, to become its first chief diversity officer.

NJIT researchers have received a $620,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to advance our understanding of the way in which soot particles from combustion of fossil fuels are driving climate change in the Earth’s atmosphere.
