As the #NJITSummer comes to a close, so are the internships and research experiences that began just a few short months ago after school let out. The NJIT staff and faculty are proud to see our fellow Highlanders succeed through their internships and real-world experiences.
Here are some of our Highlanders that had a successful #NJITSummer!
