Of the thousands of students graduating from New Jersey Institute of Technology today, many will bring their families to take pictures on the grassy hill in front of Eberhardt Hall — it's a university tradition. A line quickly formed at noon as students made their way back from official commencement ceremonies at Newark's Prudential Center. Several new alumni spoke about their memories and next steps. Josh Gregg and Cassidy Wojcik both earned degrees in mechanical engineering. Gregg, from Rochester, N.Y., also played on the men’s volleyball team. One of his favorite memories outside of...

New Jersey Institute of Technology served up a full day of fanfare as its advanced degree graduates walked across the stage in the Bloom Wellness and Events Center in three commencement ceremonies. The 2025 master’s and doctoral class exemplifies the institution’s commitment to research and scholarship across a diverse range of disciplines. Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs John Pelesko called the ceremonies to order. Pelesko, himself a 1997 alumnus of NJIT as the very first Ph.D. graduate in mathematical sciences, implored students to both soak in this moment as they...

Dr. Roman Voronov, associate professor of Chemical and Materials Engineering at NJIT, has received a $50,000 research grant from the Tri-Institutional Clinical and Translational Research Pilot Program. The funded project, “Sterilization and In Vivo Testing of an Addressable Microfluidics Device for Commercial Applications,” aims to revolutionize how implanted biomaterials are evaluated prior to clinical trials. In collaboration with Rutgers University's Animal Facility, Dr. Voronov’s lab will adapt its patented addressable microfluidic technology for in vivo use, enabling...

The spirit of innovation and hands-on learning was in full force at the Newark College of Engineering's (NCE) annual First-Year Engineering Design Showcase, a highlight of National Engineers Week. This popular event, a testament to NJIT's commitment to early-stage practical engineering experience, saw NCE’s brightest first-year minds — 180 presenters on 51 teams — show their innovative projects. NCE Dean Moshe Kam emphasized the distinctive approach NJIT takes in introducing design to its students. "The significance of this event is that it takes first-year students and puts them in the...
