June 21, 2021
Joseph R. Marbach, president of Georgian Court University (NJ), writes: As conversations about the challenges faced by higher education before and after the pandemic permeate the news cycles, I would like to commend the independent colleges and universities of New Jersey for their persistence, resilience, and success. The 14 non-profit public mission Colleges and Universities of the Independent Sector of Higher Education in New Jersey have been implementing innovative solutions to improve the educational outcomes of their students, affordability and accessibility of their institutions, and their financial positions in a rapidly evolving higher ed landscape.
