The lists were presented alphabetically, with a short description of each honoree. Below is what ROI-NJ had to say about Lim, Tukel, Hamilton and Ehrlich.
President Teik C. Lim
“Since he started in July 2022, NJIT has opened a new 176-unit dorm, welcomed its largest and most diverse first-year class, received a transformative $3 million donation from venture capitalist John Martinson, hired its first chief diversity officer, named a new provost and launched new graduate programs in artificial intelligence and data science.”
Martin Tuchman School of Management Dean Oya Tukel
“Innovation and reinvention defined Tukel’s approach in her third year as dean, as the school has developed the new Paul V. Profeta Foundation Real Estate Technology, Design and Innovation Center, for which Tukel serves as acting director.”
Albert Dorman Honors College Dean Louis Hamilton
“The honors college recently became the chief beneficiary of venture capitalist John Martinson’s $3 million donation to NJIT, which will help broaden and deepen the curriculum and real-world experiences of scholars, who arrive with an average SAT score of more than 1,500.”
Leir Research Institute for Business, Technology and Society Director Michael Ehrlich
“As director of the Leir research institute, he provides expert commentary to the media on financial news, directs the New Jersey Innovation Acceleration Center and serves as faculty lead for a regional hub of the National Science Foundation Innovation Corps that encompasses 10 universities.”
