Two New Jersey universities are coming together to ensure the future of one of northern New Jersey’s signature baseball venues.

Montclair State University and New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) are partnering to renovate Yogi Berra Stadium, part of a multi-million-dollar collaboration that will provide a home field for both schools’ NCAA baseball programs. The project will have a total cost of $5.3 million, which will revamp the stadium for the 2024 season. 

Be it in a lab, in a classroom or on a soccer field, New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Cassidy Landis is focused, driven and caring. Those qualities should serve her well as she becomes a research associate at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.

New Jersey Institute of Technology is rarely on the minds of high school counselors in Indonesia, but things were different for student tennis player Joleta Budiman, out of suburban Bandung, West Java — "I am utterly grateful that I was given the choice because coming here really did change my life, as cliché as it sounds," she said.

Volleyball has enabled NJIT’s Mason-William Matos to represent the Dominican Republic, see the world and express himself with joy.

As a teenager, he played on Dominican Republic national teams, making him a seasoned setter for the Highlanders when he arrived in 2019. Four years later, the mathematical sciences major from the Class of 2023 is poised to join BNY Mellon in New York as a risk and compliance analyst.

As baseball fans gear up for MLB’s Opening Day and the marathon of another 162-game season, new modeling predictions of NJIT mathematics professor Bruce Bukiet have already divined the winners and losers when the dust settles on the final day of the 2023 season in October.

America’s pastime has always been a game obsessed with numbers, and Bukiet, an associate dean at NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts, is no different — he has been his applying statistical models to forecast the MLB’s league standings with commendable accuracy for 25 years.

As part of the 2022 Homecoming festivities, New Jersey Institute of Technology held a ribbon-cutting ceremony of the Lenda and Vince Naimoli ’62, ’09 HON Turf Room.

Bloom and First Lady Emerita Diane Bloom, Athletic Director Leonard Kaplan, Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations Ken Alexo, athletics staff and student-athletes were among the attendees. 

The bachelor’s that Donald “Will” Andrews earned at New Jersey Institute of Technology is in industrial engineering, but his heart is in international development.

The 2022 graduate’s interest in global issues traces back to high school, when he participated in the Model United Nations, and accelerated after his second year at NJIT, when he tackled a Humanity in Action Fellowship that examined democracy and pluralism in modern Germany in the context of the Holocaust.
