What’s New this Fall

The fall semester is just around the corner. For our newest Red Hawks everything brings “first time” excitement! Even for those of us returning we too might be experiencing that thrill of newness. But here are a few highlights of what is new at Montclair State this fall:

President Jonathan Koppell

Montclair State welcomed her ninth president, Dr. Jonathan Koppell. President Koppell comes to us from Arizona State University. He has been meeting with members of the campus community and looking forward to greeting students at the start of the semester. If you see President Koppell on campus, don’t forget to ask him for a selfie! View His Video Message to the Campus Community.

Cole Hall – Formally College Hall

As you might remember, our campus iconic building, College Hall, recently underwent a huge renovation. Well, it also got a new name. Dedicated in honor of our eight president, College Hall is now Susan A. Cole Hall. Dr. Cole recently retired as 23 years of service to Montclair State. Come visit Cole Hall where you’ll find Red Hawk Central, the administrative offices for University College, Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), Disability Resource Center (DRC), the Dean of Students and more! Also enjoy the lounge areas and Panera!  Read More.

Dean Danianne Mizzy

Visit Sprague Library and welcome our new Dean of Library Services, Danianne Mizzy. Dean Mizzy comes to Montclair State with over two decades of innovative experience in library services. Drawn to Montclair State’s commitment to social justice, Dean Mizzy said “This is a generative time for academic libraries to redefine how we support student success, research and service, and how we make scholarship more inclusive, accessible and affordable.” View News Center Announcement.
