Montclair State University has always been progressive, always pushed forward the boundaries of what it could do, always been at the forefront of quality and an embodiment of the latest principles of education. Founding principal Charles Chapin and president Harry Sprague, who led this institution for its first half century, realized those ambitions by appointing an outstanding faculty, recruiting the best students, and relentlessly advocating for the best and most advanced principles of higher education.

Today, the leadership of Montclair State University continues to be dedicated to articulating the vision of what this wonderful institution can and should be and to engage in the unending quest to build that vision — to shape and nurture and build this institution in service to the people of our State.
