New Jersey Institute of Technology served up waves of fanfare as its advanced degree graduates walked across the stage in the Wellness and Events Center in three commencement ceremonies on May 16.

NJBIZ recognized two professors from New Jersey Institute of Technology and a division of the university’s New Jersey Innovation Institute in its latest lists of Healthcare Heroes.

The annual recognition salutes excellence, innovation and individuals who are “making a significant impact on the quality of health care in New Jersey,” NJBIZ noted in a story about this year’s honorees.

The Highlanders were honored in three different categories. Here’s a closer look at each.

Recently, several of NJIT’s star undergrad seniors were decorated at this month’s College of Science and Liberal Arts Awards for their diverse accomplishments across the STEM sciences.

A new collaboration to drive economic and technological advancements in photonics — the branch of science that includes lasers, optical fibers and cutting-edge light-based innovations — has been awarded a development grant from the U.S. National Science Foundation's Regional Innovation Engines, or NSF Engines, program.

NJIT’s College of Science and Liberal Arts (CSLA) celebrated at its annual springtime award ceremony this month, which brought an afternoon of recognition for the college’s star students, faculty, staff and alumni, as well as a special appearance from Nobel Laureate M. Stanley Whittingham.

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.

New Jersey Institute of Technology will award more than 3,500 bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees at its 107th commencement across two days of celebration. The university also will award three honorary degrees and welcome guest speakers.

Students at New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) have again achieved an impressive amount of prestigious awards this year with 11 students earning nationally competitive scholarships and fellowships. Their achievement continues NJIT run, with Highlanders amassing 34 of these awards in the past three years.

Dr. Teik C. Lim was installed as NJIT’s ninth president in a ceremony that welcomed students, alumni, faculty, staff, elected officials, family and friends to NJIT’s Wellness and Event Center.

Innovation, collaboration, legislation and recognizing the implications of our actions are key to achieving sustainability, according to Shawn LaTourette, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
