As announced on April 26 in a message to the campus community from The Office of The President, the next Campus Conversations session will be held on Wednesday, May 3 from 3:30 to 5:30 p.m. in The Gothic Lounge in Hepburn Hall 202.

The primary topic of discussion will be the introduction of the New Jersey City University Recovery and Revitalization Plan: A Framework for Long-Term Financial Sustainability, Mission Focus, and Student Success, where we will formally introduce the plan and invite questions from the campus community. 

While this event will be streamed and virtual attendance will be offered to accommodate all who wish to attend, due to time limitations only in-person questions will be accepted at this session of Campus Conversations.

The first portion of this session of Campus Conversations will be set aside to initiate a student-led discussion.

During the ceremony, SGA will present their final report of the year, and along with other departments, will award students and staff for their contributions throughout the year. We'll also welcome the new SGA Executive Board for the 2023-2024 academic year. Business professional/formal attire is required.

For more information, please contact Marco, the SGA Executive Vice President, at mdelacruz3@njcu.edu.
