About Us:

Welcome to New Jersey’s science and Technology University. We're proud of our 130 years of history, but that's only the beginning of our story - we've doubled the size of our campus in the last decade, pouring millions into major new research facilities to give our students the edge they need in today's demanding high-tech marketplace. Our eyes are on the future, but we haven't forgotten our past. Here are some highlights of NJIT’s 126-year history:

The Beginning: NJIT was founded in 1881 as the Newark Technical School. Sponsored by the Newark Board of Trade with a matching grant from the New Jersey state legislature, it offered non-degree training in “Science, Mathematics, and Drawing.” Eighty-eight Newark residents made up its first class.

Under the leadership of former president Saul K. Fenster, NJIT’s focus on education expanded to include research, the economic development of Newark and New Jersey, and public service. Since the mid 1970s NJIT has become home to nearly 50 laboratories, centers, and business incubators, resulting in hundreds of breakthroughs such as new methods for producing carbon nanotubes, techniques for monitoring the earth's climate using measurements of earthshine, approaches to use membrane separation technology to desalinate water and algorithms for wireless telecommunications and signal processing.  Research funding has surged to more than $75 million, and promises to keep rising. In the words of President Robert A. Altenkirch, “NJIT’s commitment to the future at the beginning of the 21st century is both local and global. Through education and research, we seek to improve life for people throughout New Jersey, across the nation, and around the world. But we are also very mindful of our university’s historic roots in Newark, our past contributions to the city’s social and economic well-being, and the potential of what we can contribute to its future prosperity.”

Leadership & Programming:

The NJIT Student Senate is the only duly elected student body recognized by the university representing the full-time and part-time undergraduate students of the university. The Student Senate represents the desires, interests, and needs of the NJIT student body and also recognizes all undergraduate clubs and organizations. The NJIT Graduate Student Association is the student body recognized by the university representing our graduate students. GSA's mission is to represent the interests of all graduate students in university affairs. GSA maintains relationships with graduate students, our university administrators and officials. This close contact gives graduate students a voice at our university.

The opportunities to get involved and develop leadership skills are the "other side" to a college education. NJIT's Leading Edge leadership program is designed to help student leaders learn skills applicable to organization and team development. Leadership skills are essential not only in today’s college environment but they are exactly what employers are looking for when they hire for any position.

Students may be acepted into the Leading Edge program at any time and may complete it at their own pace. For more information, contact the Assistant Director for Leadership & Diversity Programs in the Campus Center. NJIT's Lisa A. Pierce Center for Student Leadership is located in 495 Campus Center. Staff is available to assist all student organizations in planning leadership workshops and training for organization members.
