Due to the popularity of This Week at NJCU, we have split our weekly publications into two separate issues:
|
- This Week at NJCU, published each Monday, will continue informing the NJCU community of events happening on campus
-
What's Happening at NJCU? launched on April 6, 2023, is the sister publication of This Week at NJCU. This once-weekly mid-week publication will inform the university community about all recent news and announcements in the NJCU Community, with sections highlighting NJCU In the News, current faculty, staff, student and alumni news and an In Memoriam section to honor those alumni, faculty, staff, or students, who have passed.
|
To submit your announcement, personal or professional news, or an In Memoriam, please use the form at the bottom of this communication, or share your news with us at communications@njcu.edu.

Ask Your State Representatives to Support NJCU Today |
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy announced his proposed state budget earlier this year and our legislators will be voting on funding this June. As you know, NJCU needs more financial support from our state to continue providing educational opportunities to everyone—regardless of economic circumstances or background. Countless elected officials and business leaders already agree that NJCU is indispensable. But your voice matters most. Share yours on the online platform we've created to make it easier for you to send messages to your state legislators and tell your friends and fellow students and alumni to speak up and encourage support for NJCU.
