Advisory Board
CEIE Advisory Board
The Advisory Board of the Center for Educational Innovation and Excellence (CEIE) is composed of carefully selected members representing a diverse cross-section of NJIT’s faculty, staff, and academic community. Members were chosen for their student-centered approach to education, their expertise in teaching and learning, and their ability to bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the board. This diversity ensures the CEIE benefits from a wide range of ideas and approaches to advance its mission.
Board members serve a renewable two-year term and play an essential role in supporting the CEIE’s initiatives. Their responsibilities include reviewing grant and award proposals, recommending guest speakers, contributing to faculty development programming, and participating in CEIE-hosted events. Together, the Advisory Board works to ensure that CEIE initiatives align with the needs of NJIT’s academic community and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, and excellence.
