Touching on topics ranging from the lack of state support for higher education to the many achievements of Montclair State students, faculty, and staff, President Susan A. Cole delivered her annual spring address to the University Community at the Kasser Theater on April 22.

Topics of focus in the address included the proposed New Jersey state budget and the impact that it will have on the University and on students, and the importance of Montclair State to New Jersey, which President Cole illustrated by highlighting some of the University’s many outstanding graduates and their accomplishments.

President Cole also spoke of the need to continue to inform state legislators about the importance of public higher education to the state, and urged everyone to join the NJ College Promise Action Network to aid in this cause.
