NJCU Political Science Department

One for the students in Professor Moran’s History of Political Thought class. 🤦‍♂️😁

“Good enough” is rarely good enough.

The Department congratulates our 2025 inductees to the Eta Alpha chapter of Pi Sigma Alpha, the national political science honors society: Jennifer Higueros (L) and Andrea Izaguirre (R). Andrea was also recently elected President of the NJCU Student Government Association.

Finals start tomorrow… good luck to those so engaged.

Our Department chair, who is also university senate President, was quoted today in one of the last editions of the Jersey Journal.

NJCU of Montclair State? Kean Jersey City? New Jersey City University’s future will soon be decided Kean and Montclair State (MSU) officials told The Jersey Journal it submitted proposals that will be presented to the NJCU Board of Trustees, expected sometime in February.

MLK Day invites reflection about the broader Civil Rights movement. Pictured here is former NJCU (then Jersey City State College) President William Maxwell conferring an honorary doctorate to Rosa Parks at Raines Plaza, just outside of the library.

Final exams are underway! Good luck to all those so engaged.

Reading Day #2. Today’s tip is to stay focused and engaged with the material; don’t let the mind wander. You don’t want to be at it for 30 minutes and have no recollection of what you were just reading.

Today‘s the first of our two reading days to help prepare for final exams. Buckle down and get it done. It’s crunch time!

It’s that time of the semester. We all do what we can to help, but it’s important to put in the effort too. Good luck to those of you with finals looming.

Prof. Moran and some students from his US Politics class tagged along with our colleague, Dr. Virginia Ochoa-Winemiller in the Latin American Studies program, for a day tour of the Ellis Island immigration museum and Liberty Island. One of the perks of NJCU is having these amazing resources in the backyard.
