JERSEY CITY, N.J. |  New Jersey City University (NJCU) will award 1,667 undergraduate, graduate, and doctoral degrees in a double ceremony during its 2024 Commencement exercises on Wednesday, May 15 when the university holds its 2024 Commencement exercises at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, N.J.

The second ceremony will begin at 2 p.m. and include graduates from the William J. Maxwell College of Arts and Sciences (CAS), the Deborah Cannon Partridge Wolfe College of Education, and CAS/Education dual-degree recipients. Doors will open for guests and graduates one hour prior to each ceremony. It will be NJCU’s first ceremony held at Red Bull Arena. NJCU Interim President  Andrés Acebo ​​will preside over his second commencement ceremony as the leader of the University.  Dr. Bettina L. Love , a professor, change maker and New York Times   Best-Selling Author, will be the 2024 Commencement speaker and will receive an honorary doctorate degree. Dr. Love holds the prestigious William F.

Tekla Tchelidze, '24, will deliver the student response from the Class of 2024 during this year's Commencement exercises. She is a Biology Major who immigrated to the United States from the Republic of Georgia in the Caucasus region between Eastern Europe and West Asia.

She currently serves as the President of the Biology club, as a Supplemental Instruction tutor and is a member of the Leadership Honor Society.

2024 Summer Work Schedule

Dear Colleagues:

As mentioned on my most recent open call, in recognition of your dedication to Monmouth University and our students throughout the academic year, the senior administration and I are pleased to again offer a revised Summer Work Schedule for the months of June and July, applicable to all eligible staff members.

Full-time staff and administrative personnel may, upon consultation with their supervisors, take advantage of paid Fridays off, commencing on June 7 and concluding on July 26. The adjusted schedule will provide seven additional paid leave days during the summer. Additionally, Juneteenth will be observed as a university holiday on Friday, June 21.

During the period of the Summer Work Schedule, all employees are expected to adhere to their normal working hours from Monday through Thursday. Employees who are presently on a four-day flex schedule will be required to return to a standard schedule starting the workweek beginning Thursday May 30 and may reapply for the flex schedule post the summer schedule period. Employees who work less than 36.25 hours per week or fewer than 52 weeks per year will participate in the Summer Work Schedule on a pro-rata basis.

The University will maintain operations on Fridays throughout the summer, meaning that certain areas will require appropriate staffing. I have instructed division heads to exhibit flexibility with staff members who must work on Fridays, ensuring that suitable alternative days off are provided during the current calendar year.

If you have any questions regarding the Summer Work Schedule, please contact the Office of Human Resources directly at (732) 571-3470.

I hope this modified summer work arrangement will afford you well-deserved rest. I also encourage you to utilize your standard vacation days during this period, to ensure that you return refreshed and invigorated, ready to support our students in the upcoming academic year.

Dr. Patrick F. Leahy President
