The recipients include nine students from NJIT, fourteen from Rutgers University and four from Essex County College. Students gain valuable experience working to help communities, non-profits get enthusiastic people to help them fulfill their missions, and people in need get the benefit of those combined efforts.
Cooperation is the key to answering New Jersey's needs for safe and affordable housing.
First Union is proud to be a catalyst in this important effort. NJIT's Office of Community and Public Service administers the program. Five students from NJIT's School of Architecture, three from the Department of Civil Engineering and one from the university's Burlington County Campus will represent NJIT this year. Research initiatives include manufacturing, microelectronics, multimedia, transportation, computer science, solar astrophysics, environmental engineering and science, and architecture and building science.
