2020 Vision, the document by which we will chart NJIT’s course during the second decade of the 21st century, is the product of diverse perspectives, an exceptional breadth of talent and deep concern for all aspects of our university’s mission. It is with the greatest appreciation that I add my voice in thanking all who have contributed to this guide to greater success at NJIT in education, research, service and economic engagement. We have concluded a demanding venture that has involved all stakeholders in the NJIT community—administration, faculty, staff, students and alumni.
I also know that we will be working together to make the goals set forth in 2020 Vision a reality. The task before us will be as challenging as establishing those goals. But it will be a very exciting journey as well, one that will take us to discoveries at many frontiers of science and technology, and toward the implementation of economic initiatives that will benefit people throughout our region. I am confident that the mutual support for NJIT going forward on our journey will equal that already given so generously in defining where we want to be by 2020.
