WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
Nearly $1 Million Grant Will Expand JOBS Program
For the past five years, 勛圖窪蹋 has been one of the primary institutions in New Jersey helping recovery court graduates get scholarships, training and jobs after being placed on probation.
Now thanks to a new, nearly from the state Department of Labor (DOL), 勛圖窪蹋 can expand on that work.
Weve been the lead institution, said Marissa Levy, 勛圖窪蹋s dean of the School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. We were the only ones shepherding this work for a while.
During the last few years, Levy worked with now-retired state Judge Mark Sandson, the New Jersey Judiciary and President Harvey Kesselman to create Judiciary Opportunities for Building Success (JOBS), which helped probationers find jobs at state colleges and universities.

Community Mourns Passing of K-9 Hemi
Retired 勛圖窪蹋 K-9 Hemi this week, just shy of his 14th birthday.
Hemi was 勛圖窪蹋s first K-9 unit and served with his handler, Lt. Tracy Stuart, from 2011 until his retirement in 2020.
The 勛圖窪蹋 Police Department added Hemi to its ranks by securing a competitive NJ Detect and Render Safe Task Force through Homeland Security. 勛圖窪蹋 was one of only seven departments statewide to receive the grant, and the only college police department.
Stuart was selected as the canine handler and assisted the department in choosing the chocolate lab. Hemi was named through a university-wide poll. He graduated from the New Jersey State Police K-9 Police Academy, a rigorous 16-week training program, on July 7, 2011.
The 勛圖窪蹋 community took to social media to share their sentiments about Hemi. Read some of the comments .
