This plan will guide decision making for the next five years and assure we continue on the upward trajectory that has marked our recent history.

NJIT Pandemic Recovery Update - June 2020

COVID-19 University Update — 4/27/2020

NJIT Community Members, The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted, to date, in the loss of almost 55,000 lives throughout the United States and more than 207,000 deaths around the world. Regrettably, those numbers continue to grow each day and will do so for the foreseeable future. The loss of life caused by this virus has been heart-wrenchingly tragic, and, most sadly, several members of our university community have lost family members or loved ones.

Memorial Day Message From President Bloom

NJIT Community Members, I write today to offer my best wishes this Memorial Day and to remind us all of the importance and purpose of this holiday. I also encourage us all to keep those who have been lost to the COVID-19 pandemic and their loved ones in our thoughts at this time. Memorial Day provides an opportunity for us to pause and honor those who have died while serving in the U.S. military. This practice originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971.

Message from NJIT President Bloom - Death of George Floyd

NJIT Community Members, The death of George Floyd has brought us to a point of inflection throughout our country, and it has done so for multiple reasons. Mr. Floyd's death was captured on video, so we have been forced to see a truth we would rather not believe. That video is both heartbreaking and infuriating. No decent person could watch the extermination of a helpless human being in such a callous manner without experiencing feelings of true anger and despair.
