Jordan Hu College of Science and Liberal Arts

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.

New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) chemist Pier Alexandre Champagne has received a National Science Foundation CAREER Award to advance the understanding of sulfur-containing molecules that are key to cellular defense and health, but transform so quickly into different compounds — within fractions of a second — that scientists have struggled to understand them. The $785,000 award will support Champagne’s project to develop new tools to produce these quick-changing molecules for study, while using advanced computational methods to predict their behavior. In addition, the award will...
