The Board of Trustees voted to increase tuition by three percent today, which was opposed by the voting student representative, at a meeting where they also disclosed a $20 million deficit.

Shortly after the meeting, president Sue Henderson sent an email to the NJCU community announcing her resignation. Jason Kroll, vice president and chief strategy officer, will be the interim president, based on an email from Trustees chair Joseph F. Scott.

NJCU recently hosted an inaugural entrepreneurship competition where students were able to compete for a grand prize of $5000.
—————————————————————
The big winners were Dominic Pepe and Alan Cruz with the team “NFL Gold Zone.” Their idea was “a company that designs and sells collectible NFL moments as NFTs using blockchain technology in partnership with the NFL and more.” Also included in the prize was a graphic design consultation for their pitch. The team was mentored by Lauren Johnson, a Sports Management professor at NJCU.
—————————————————————
Pepe and Cruz said, “We collaborated on the project and worked on it throughout the semester, thinking nothing more than this is just for a grade to graduate. It quickly became more than that after we were selected for the pitch competition at NJCU. We worked hard on it and continued to do so for the NJCU competition. It was a really cool experience, an unexpected one that we think will continue to be a part of NJCU for years to come. It became more of a surprise after we won the competition at NJCU. Going from presenting in class on zoom to presenting in Hoboken at Mission 50 is quite the moment. One we will never forget———Check out the full article on our website www.GothicTimes.net.

Bong Joon-ho, director of the hit 2019 film Parasite, said, “Once you overcome the one-inch-tall barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films… I think we use only just one language – the cinema.”
—————————————————————
Seeing Asian leads telling stories on the big screen was overdue by Hollywood for quite some time. Released in 2000, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was one of the first films that managed to cross over to western audiences and is currently the highest-grossing foreign-language movie of all time. The beautiful choreography of the fight scenes is what made the film so impressionable to audiences. However, since 2000 the Asian community were wondering when the next Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would make it on the big screen.
—————————————————————
It wasn’t until 2018 when Crazy Rich Asians was released that created a wave of talk from audiences due to it being the first modern film with an all-Asian cast. Though the talk of this film slowly drifted away, it did manage to crack open the door for future films with Asian representation. Since then, there were multiple films and TV shows that appeared and made a grand impression on———Check out the full article on our website www.GothicTimes.net.

Every day, hundreds of students get off at the West Side Avenue Light Rail stop when coming to NJCU. Along the way, they pass an eight-story red brick building adjacent to the station. You would probably never guess that the building almost became the world’s largest candy factory.

GT Staff: Julie Marie Frances DeVoe

Dr. Hilary Englert, who taught in NJCU’s English department for 19 years, recently passed away. NJCU will be holding a memorial service to celebrate her life and share memories on Thursday, May 12 at 3 pm in the Gothic Lounge (Hepburn Hall Room 202).
—————————————————————
English Professor Alina Gharabegian said, “We are all broken up – deeply aggrieved – by this immense loss. I think not just about this moment of immeasurable loss, but about all future encounters in which she will not participate, where her absence will be profoundly felt. She was such an integral part of the department’s spirit, vibrancy, presence in the university community, that the department is, for me, unimaginable without her.”
