Robert Cohen, chair of NJIT’s Board of Trustees and president of Stryker’s Digital, Robotics, and Enabling Technologies organization, will be honored at the Tri-County Scholarship Fund (TCSF) 43rd Annual Awards Dinner. This event is set for Oct. 28, 2024, at The Legacy Castle in Pompton Plains, New Jersey, and will gather more than 800 attendees.

Robert Cohen, a three-time NJIT alumnus, will receive the Hall of Fame Award in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the medical device industry and his dedicated support of 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.”

In a significant move to align with contemporary values and foster a truly inclusive environment, the Board of Overseers of the Foundation at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) unanimously passed a resolution to change its official name. The governing body will now be known as the "Board of Directors of the Foundation at NJIT.”

New Jersey Institute of Technology President Teik C. Lim is among three Highlanders on ROI-NJ’s Super 60 Power List of business influencers for 2023.

Lim seeks to accelerate NJIT’s progress in becoming a leading polytechnic in the U.S. that helps diverse students achieve upward economic mobility through the study of STEM.
