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.

Current and future MBA students are in for good news at NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management, with the degree requirements being shortened from 48 credits to 36, and with an even stronger emphasis on their forward-looking, technology-focused curriculum.

The changes streamline the program into the nationwide trend of shorter, more affordable paths to graduation, while doubling down on the uniqueness of being part of a public polytechnic institution.

Two NJIT undergraduates won prestigious fellowships. Olivia Kolakowski ’24 was awarded the Brooke Owens Fellowship, and Milan Patel ’23 has been selected as an Amgen Scholar at Columbia University. 

The Fellowship is designed to serve both as an inspiration and as a career boost to capable young women and other gender minorities who, like Dawn Brooke Owens (1980-2016), aspire to explore the sky and stars, to shake up the aerospace industry, and to help their fellow people here on planet Earth.

The business publication ROI-NJ recognized four leaders at New Jersey Institute of Technology in its annual lists of higher education influencers, including President Teik C. Lim.

Lim made a list of presidents of New Jersey universities and colleges and the others — Martin Tuchman School of Management Dean Oya Tukel, Albert Dorman Honors College Dean Louis Hamilton and Leir Research Institute for Business, Technology and Society Director Michael Ehrlich — made a list of deans, directors and officials. 

How can we prevent artificial intelligence from exacerbating systemic discrimination and leverage it as a force for good to promote social and environmental justice?

Policy experts from organizations such as the Innocence Project, prominent data scientists and others will discuss the profound, but often silent role of AI in our lives at “Women Designing the Future: Artificial Intelligence/Real Human Lives,” an upcoming conference hosted by the Murray Center for Women in Technology at New Jersey Institute of Technology.

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.

NJIT's Robotics Club took home gold at their first competition held here in Newark, besting the competition which included Dartmouth, Rutgers, and Seton Hall universities.

NJIT’s Career Development Services hosted its marquee event, again besting attendance and participation numbers over its previous career fair. Taking a page out of the logistics-improvement playbook of participating companies like UPS, Johnson & Johnson, Raytheon and others, CDS implemented changes to improve candidate and employer efficiency and experience.

A new event on campus, Byte into Hardware, aims to remind us of the joy in exploring hacker culture's physical roots.

The hardware hackathon will take place April 1-2 with themes focusing on accessibility and sustainability. Breadboards, microcontrollers and sensors will be everywhere, in contrast to the annual NJIT ACM chapter's HackNJIT, which skews to the software side. Registration is here.

NJIT’s Albert Dorman Honors College held its First-Year Seminar Biodiversity Initiatives colloquium, in which four student-led proposals were presented to renovate the space near the Summit Street parking garage. 

These student-driven initiatives allow for the Urban Ecology Lab, ADHC, the Real Estate Development and Capital Operations (REDCO) and the Office of Sustainability to team up together to make NJIT’s campus into a more sustainable community.
