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.
