Season’s Greetings from the Office of the President
Dear NJCU Family,
As the Fall 2023 semester winds down and we enter the holiday season, I am filled with gratitude and appreciation for the ¿ìèÆƽâ°æ community. Over the last 11 months you have given me one of the greatest honors of my professional life — the privilege of serving as president on a campus that transforms lives and strengthens our community every day. I cannot think of a better gift than the privilege of sharing time and space with all of you in our collective pursuit of strengthening our mission and cementing our commitment to the communities we serve.
For the first time, I have the honor to extend holiday greetings to a vibrant community of extraordinary and resilient students, supported by dedicated and mission-driven faculty and staff — all who rise as relentless Gothic Knights every single day in the face of challenges, big and small.
Every day on our campus we are blessed to walk with people from all backgrounds and experiences who come together to form one common community with one common purpose. Together, we are authoring and anchoring an intentional mission-focused revitalization worthy of the students and communities we are privileged to serve through a comprehensive public higher education right in their own community.
This holiday season, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you—students, faculty, staff, and our entire NJCU family and extended community. May this season bring you joy, peace, and reflection. Let’s celebrate our shared purpose—and each other. I celebrate and honor you, Gothic Knight Family! I wish you all an abundance of love and peace.
From my family to yours, it is my pleasure to wish you and yours a joyous holiday season and a happy and healthy New Year. May this season affirm your faith in the noble work and pursuits we engage in every day together.
With affection and gratitude,
Interim President
