A Message from Dr. Steven M. Rose
The year 2016 is one of transition for NJEDge. We celebrate the legacy of our founding president George Laskaris upon his retirement and welcome, with great excitement, Dr. Samuel Conn as our new president.
George Laskaris built NJEDge to become a nationally recognized research and education network. Under George’s leadership, NJEDge.Net developed into a national leader in higher education technology. We thank George for his years of dedicated and exceptional service and wish him a happy and healthy retirement.
