New Jersey Institute of Technology has several of its own honored in ROI-NJ’s inaugural Champions of the C-Suite. 

President Teik C. Lim and alumni Marjorie Perry, LeRoy Jones and Jeff Milanaik are among the honorees. Board of Trustees member Gary Dahms is also recognized. 

In an effort for students to share their insights and drive positive change within the NJIT community, Provost and Senior Vice president for Academic Affairs John Pelesko, and Vice President for Student Affairs and Dean of Students Marybeth Boger have launched the NJIT Undergraduate Student Advisory Council. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology President Teik C. Lim and Oya Tukel, dean of NJIT’s Martin Tuchman School of Management, are featured in NJBIZ’s Education Power 50 for 2023.

The publication recognized Lim, now in his second year as president, for the Newark university’s rise in national standing, particularly in The Wall Street Journal, and for “expanding its role in the fabric of its home city and New Jersey.” 

New Jersey Institute of Technology’s rise in national rankings continues, with U.S. News & World Report placing NJIT No. 86 among national universities for 2024 — a jump of 11 rungs from 2023.

New Jersey Institute of Technology rose 13 spots to no. 88 among national universities in a ranking based on overall value, service and social mobility, as determined by the non-profit Washington Monthly magazine.

The publication’s editors emphasized that such categories are important alternatives to traditional college rankings that tend to favor wealthy, private institutions.

NJIT welcomed its Class of 2027 during this year’s University Convocation, where first-year students from all schools were in attendance.

The new academic year has kicked off with a record number of students enrolled. Helping to fuel the new high water mark are 1,805 first-year students— an increase of 23% from the previous year — as of Sept. 1. This year’s incoming freshman class is the largest and most diverse in school history. 

New Jersey Institute of Technology is the second-highest ranked public university in the Wall Street Journal/College Pulse 2024 list of the Best Colleges in the U.S.

At No. 19 nationally, NJIT is second only to the University of Florida among public universities nationally and to Princeton University among colleges and universities in New Jersey. 

A natural disaster in Turkey brought transfer student Ibrahim Aras, who is studying financial technology, to NJIT's Martin Tuchman School of Management.

Before the magnitude 7.8 earthquake hit on February 6, 2023, all was well with Aras, at the time a computer science major, who graduated from one of the best international science high schools in Turkey and fulfilled his dream to attend college in America, where he studied at Drexel University.

As the new provost of New Jersey Institute of Technology, John Pelesko brings decades of experience as a professor, department chair, associate dean and most recently dean at the University of Delaware, where he had spent 21 years.

Pelesko also has the benefit of knowing NJIT firsthand: he was a graduate student here in the 1990s, when he earned a Ph.D. in mathematical sciences.

When Matthew Negron ’13, ‘16 started his education at NJIT, he was among the earliest cohorts to join the newly-formed industrial design program at Hillier College of Architecture and Design.
