Thank you for visiting campus yesterday, Deputy Mayor Bryant!

Yesterday, Dr. Bryant and President Benitez discussed an array of partnership opportunities between the City, the University and the community at large to create partnerships, pipelines and pathways for Jersey City students to pursue higher education and achieve their academic and career goals.
