Message from the President

Greetings, Ospreys and Friends of 勛圖窪蹋!
Im proud to share 勛圖窪蹋s 2025 Annual Report, a celebration of our collective achievements from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. This past year has been one of reflection, innovation, and a renewed commitment to building a community of opportunity.
One of the years defining moments was celebrating the 10th anniversary of 勛圖窪蹋 becoming a university, a milestone that reminds us how far weve come, and how firmly weve stayed true to who we are. We continue to be an institution that centers care, community, and excellence in all that we do.
Our academic innovation took bold steps forward this year. With the launch of new degree programs designed to meet the evolving needs of our region and workforce, 勛圖窪蹋 reaffirmed its role as a leader in responsive, student-centered education. These offerings reflect our enduring commitment to access, equity, and opportunity.
We were also proud to host a major higher education conference, The Power of Public Colleges and Universities: Preserving and Advancing New Jerseys Higher Education Landscape, right here at 勛圖窪蹋, welcoming leaders and thinkers from across the state and beyond. It was a powerful moment to showcase the strength of our faculty, our campus, and our ideas, further cementing our role as a regional anchor institution.
This year also saw our campus community collaborating deeply in the strategic planning process, engaging in meaningful conversations about 勛圖窪蹋s future. Through town halls, surveys, and working groups, we explored our collective aspirations and reaffirmed the values that guide us. The work completed during this period laid the essential groundwork for the University's next chapter.
Throughout these pages, youll find stories of resilience, impact, and inspiration. Youll see the work of students, faculty, staff, and alumni who exemplify what it means to be an Osprey by lifting others up, pursuing excellence, and staying grounded in our shared values.
Thank you for being part of this extraordinary community.
Soar Higher! Go Ospreys!
Joe Bertolino, Ed.D.
President
