E X EC U TI V E SUM M A RY

A MESSAGE FROM NJIT PRESIDENT JOEL S. BLOOM

MAKING HISTORY … AND A DIFFERENCE

I

t is my privilege to introduce the annual Honor Roll of donors as part of this special edition of NJIT Magazine, which recognizes our supporters’ continued commitment to shaping the future of NJIT.

This issue’s cover story focuses on the extraordinary accomplishments of

internationally renowned architects J. Robert ’17 HON and Barbara A. Hillier. NJIT has renamed its College of Architecture and Design to honor the Hilliers’ historic commitment to the university and to commemorate their recent gift, which is the largest ever received by NJIT. The Hillier name is iconic within the world of architecture and brings great distinction to our college. Additionally, the generosity of Bob and Barbara will enrich the architecture and design programs in many ways that will have a transformative effect on NJIT’s students, faculty and research within the J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier College of Architecture and Design. In “Improving Health Around the World,” you will read about Clifford M. Samuel ’88, ’19 HON, who leads a team at Gilead Sciences, Inc. that makes lifesaving medicines available to patients in more than 140 countries. Under Samuel’s leadership, Gilead has entered into generic licensing agreements with 19 companies in China, India and South Africa, creating a competitive market for generic HIV and Hepatitis B drugs that has dramatically reduced prices and helped to deliver medicines to more than 14 million people in need. On behalf of all at NJIT, I thank every Honor Roll donor for your support of our university. Through your generosity, our students, faculty and alumni are empowered to realize their vast potential, to break new ground and to improve the world in which we live.

NJIT JOINS THE RANKS OF THE NATION’S ELITE RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES NJIT joined the ranks of the nation’s elite and most productive institutions with its elevation to the top tier of research universities — a designation of R1 by the Carnegie Classification® indicating “very high research activity.” First published in 1973, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education is the primary measure used by ratings organizations and governmental agencies to describe colleges and universities. Institutions that grant doctoral degrees are divided into three tiers that represent their level of research activity in terms of research and development expenditures and doctorates awarded. R1 is the highest. NJIT’s new designation is a forceful demonstration of the university’s growing body of research and innovation and its ability going forward to secure

major research grants that will lead to transformative discoveries in areas ranging from health care and medicine, to sustainable technologies and data analytics, among others. NJIT is one of just three universities in New Jersey to receive an R1 classification. “This designation reflects the transformation NJIT is undergoing,” commented NJIT Provost and Senior Executive Vice President Fadi Deek. “We have achieved a coveted Carnegie research classification by being designated as ‘R1: Doctoral Universities — very high research activity’ along with only 130 other institutions of higher education in the United States.” Deek called the R1 designation “a reflection of the excellent research and scholarship that our faculty and students are engaged in,” while adding, “But we

are also mindful of much more work to be done as we rise even higher.” The university supports research in numerous ways, and takes seriously its role in nurturing talent on campus. Over the past six years, NJIT has hired nearly 130 new faculty members across STEM and other disciplines, increasing its faculty from 268 in 2014 to a projected 345 by 2020. They include experts on topics such as machine learning, data analytics, biomaterials and biomechanics. Of NJIT’s new classification, NJIT President Joel S. Bloom noted, “Receiving the R1 designation is a major achievement for NJIT and is the direct result of our faculty, researchers and staff, as well as the investments we have made to support their research agendas.” n

NJIT is one of the nation’s best colleges for students seeking a superb education with great career preparation and at an affordable price, according to The Princeton Review®. The education services company profiled NJIT in the recently published 2019 edition of its annual guide, The Best Value Colleges: 200 Schools with Exceptional ROI for Your Tuition Investment. In order to make the list, institutions must demonstrate a strong academic program and affordability, and offer excellent opportunities for career prospects after graduation. A return on an academic investment is a highly soughtafter quality, and according to the guide, NJIT is among the top 1% in the United States for occupational earnings power. “Return on educational investment is very important to our students, and it

NJIT is ranked No. 109 out of 2,486 colleges and universities analyzed for ethnic diversity. In New Jersey, NJIT is ranked No. 2 out of 44 colleges, putting NJIT in the top 5% of all colleges in the state — a distinction NJIT has earned two years in a row. “We are honored to be recognized for our dedication to diversity, because we work very hard to ensure that students from all backgrounds have the opportunity to learn, grow and develop their talents at NJIT,” said university President Joel S. Bloom. “Beginning with pre-college programs that expose

and will be composed of 17 members that include the secretary of higher education, the commissioner of education and the CEO of the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. Joining this group and President Bloom will be other leaders of academia and industry. When it was first created in the 1980s, the Commission on Science, Technology and Innovation became a major research funding source for Rutgers University, Princeton University and NJIT. In particular, the commission funding served to help launch NJIT’s transformation into a research university. As an assistant commissioner of education in Governor Tom Kean’s administration at that time, President Bloom participated in the commission

alumnus, having earned a master’s degree in computer science from the university in 1989. He became a member of the Board of Trustees in 2019. “During my time at NJIT, I was impressed by the breadth of the knowledge and the quality of the research done by the faculty, and have long wanted to take advantage of it in my company,” said Hu. Craig Gotsman, dean of YWCC, said partnering with the corporate world to develop actionable research is a key focus of the college. “This type of partnership allows our faculty to take their research beyond the lab and have real-world impact,” said Gotsman. “It also provides a tremendous opportunity for our graduate students who assist in the project, gaining firsthand experience in applying their work.” Wei said that the project lasted one semester

meetings. In Bloom’s initial meeting with Governor Murphy, prior to his candidacy for governor, President Bloom strongly advocated for the restart of the commission, which will look to restore New Jersey as a dominant player in STEM industries and serve as a hub of innovation. President Bloom said of the appointment, “The economy of today and of the future is and will be driven by technological innovation. That is true across all industries, because technology both creates new products and advances the processes which are used to create, maintain and improve existing products. So, I am very happy to see the return of the Commission on Science, Technology and Innovation and to have the opportunity to serve as a member.” n

Renowned Architects’ Historic Gift Is Future-Focused

During the late 1990s, the Hilliers’ firm designed the modernist Weston Hall, now the home of the J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier College of Architecture and Design.

ew Jersey Institute of Technology has renamed its College of Architecture and Design for J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier to reflect the globally respected

architects’ historic donation to the university. Their gift, the university’s largest ever, will enrich the architecture and design program in many ways: with scholarships that diversify the pool of talented architects entering the profession and funds for the technology that will advance it, to name just two. “Bob and Barbara Hillier are very aware of where the fields of architecture and design are today and where they’re going in the future. They’re living it,” said NJIT President Joel Bloom at the renaming ceremony, held in Weston Hall on May 21, directly following the university’s 2019 commencement. He then thanked the couple for “the faith you’ve placed in the College of Architecture and Design to carry the name of J. Robert and Barbara A. Hillier.” The Hilliers, Princeton-based architects who built one of the country’s most comprehensive and successful practices with a mix of design skill, niche savvy, marketing acumen and old-fashioned attention to their clients’ needs, say it was NJIT’s technology-steeped focus on the future that inspired their philanthropy. “NJIT is very much of a research facility and forward-thinking in everything they do. I believe that today, architecture needs that look forward more than looking back,” commented Robert Hillier, who said he first took note of NJIT’s approach when he discovered several years ago that the university’s architecture program was one of the first in the region to incorporate computer-aided design into the curriculum.

He added, “They were also doing more computer design and product design than other schools. I think that taking architecture as a program and expanding it into other related design fields is important.” Barbara Hillier, who credited the university with having “the energy and the discipline to embrace their students of all levels, which is oftentimes not the case,” said that scholarships will make an NJIT education available to people who may not otherwise aspire to one. Both she and her husband cited NJIT’s “commitment to first-generation college students” as a strong motivator for them.

“This is a transformative moment in the history of the college,” noted Anthony Schuman, the interim dean. “The Hilliers’ gift expresses confidence in the school, brings new energy to its students and faculty, enhances our reputation in the public arena and provides material resources that will help us grow.” A Princeton native and graduate of both Princeton University and its graduate architecture program, Robert Hillier founded Hillier Architecture as a solo practice at 44 Nassau St. in his hometown in 1966, and built it into the country’s third-largest strictly architectural firm, with stand-alone “practice groups” focused on corporate headquarters, health care facilities, science and research buildings, higher education facilities, independent schools, residential properties, historic restoration, interior design, graphic design and land planning. Just over a decade later, he hired Barbara, who in 1988 established a new office — and soon-to-be thriving practice — in Philadelphia. The firm went on to open offices in New York, Newark, Washington, Dallas and Tampa. In 2007, Hillier Architecture merged with RMJM Group of Edinburgh, Scotland, creating one of the world’s largest firms with 1,200 employees. Two years later, the couple struck out on their own to found Studio Hillier, less than a mile from their former practice’s original location. Notable projects over the past 50 10

compensation is too low for the creative work architects provide to their clients.”

LONGSTANDING CONNECTION In addition to their strong Princeton ties — Barbara Hillier also has a master’s degree from Princeton University and their former firm designed several buildings on that campus — the Hilliers have a longstanding connection with NJIT. For one, their firm designed all three versions of the School of Architecture, which was established in 1974. Robert Hillier recalls being taken up to an attic gymnasium in the 1970s and given this challenge: “This is the drafting room. Make it a school.” There were only about 25 students at the time. Later, the firm renovated another space to accommodate the rapidly expanding program, and then in the late 1990s, designed the modernist Weston Hall, the home of the school today. It was configured “so you could see how the building was built as you walked through it. It also showed what you could do with basic industrial materials and still create dramatic and interesting spaces,” he said of the building, noting in particular its bright colors, its glass-plated view of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Boulevard and the “wonderful stairway that sort of wanders up three stories.” Both Robert Hillier and his father James, chief scientist at RCA and the developer of the first operating electron microscope in the world, have received honorary degrees from NJIT. Robert served as the first chairman of the Albert Dorman Honors College Board of Visitors and endowed a scholarship in honor of his first daughter, who died in a car crash

“ NJIT IS SITTING IN A

CITY THAT LITERALLY COULD BECOME

A PETRI DISH FOR

HOW CITIES REBIRTH THEMSELVES.”

- J. Robert Hillier ’17 HON in 1984. Having watched NJIT and the city of Newark evolve over the past several decades, the Hilliers are enthusiastic about both. They look to architects trained at the university to play a role in shaping what they call a “Renaissance City,” while making key, lifeimproving connections for the people who live there now. “It’s time to rethink the urban landscape and value what every citizen can bring to the effort,” Barbara Hillier noted in brief remarks at the ceremony. “Architecture must take a strategic role in leading the discourse among the many.” As Robert Hillier put it, “NJIT is sitting in a city that literally could become a petri dish for how cities rebirth themselves.” n Author: Tracey L.

years include the new campus for Bryant University in Smithfield, R.I., the Louis Vuitton Tower in New York City, Cornell’s Johnson School of Business, restoration of the Supreme Court building in Washington, D.C., GlaxoSmithKline’s worldwide headquarters in London, Sprint’s global headquarters in Overland Park, Kan., the Sydney Harbor Casino complex in Australia, the Las Colinas Convention Center in Irving, Texas, and the Richard Hughes Justice Center in Trenton, N.J. In total, the firm has completed projects in 27 states and 34 foreign countries, including the design of 17 private international schools. The Hilliers currently are working on a total resort town in the Bahamas that will have a net zero carbon footprint. Their work has received more than 300 state, national and international design awards. Despite their own phenomenal success, the couple nonetheless believe their profession faces serious challenges from other sectors, such as real estate and the construction industry, which are moving swiftly to incorporate technology that enables them to create designs and showcase them. Their gift to NJIT has been made, in part, to ensure that architects retain their central role in shaping the built environment with, as Barbara Hillier puts it, the “humanity” that is an essential part of the profession’s mission. “I want architects to become leaders in the development of artificial intelligence rather than being put out of business by it,” Robert Hillier added, noting that he will also continue to urge them to play a bigger role in the development of their designs. “The

“ REACHING THOSE AT THE ECONOMIC BASE OF THE PYRAMID IS CHALLENGING BECAUSE HEALTH IS NOT ALWAYS A STRATEGIC PRIORITY IN THESE COUNTRIES. ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE MIGHT BE instruction in math and science at the Stevens Technical Enrichment Program. Collectively, these experiences gave him the background necessary for successful completion of his bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering. “In the inner cities in the 70s, education wasn’t a priority; what I got from NJIT was a quality education that allowed me to not only help my family in the U.S. financially, but those in the Caribbean as well,” Samuel recalled. “Also, the ability to apply engineering principles, thinking, concepts and knowledge to the work I do today is equally rewarding and, in my opinion, the best value for the money.” Today, Samuel serves as senior vice president of access operations and emerging markets at Gilead Sciences, Inc., which he joined in 1996 as a member of the company’s commercial organization, newly established at the time, to support the introduction of Gilead’s first commercial product, Vistide. He now leads a team that makes Gilead’s HIV/AIDS and viral Hepatitis B and C medicines available to patients in more than 140 countries, regardless of where they live

or their economic means. These countries include, among others, Mexico, Central America, the Caribbean, South America, all of Africa, South/Southeast Asia Pacific, parts of Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Among his achievements, Samuel has enabled the company to bring HIV/AIDS medicines to over 12 million patients in a cross section of countries defined as the developing world and emerging markets, countries classified as such based on their gross national income per capita, as well as disease burden. “Reaching those at the economic base of the pyramid is challenging because health is not always a strategic priority in these countries,” Samuel explained. “Access to health care might be available to the middle class and the wealthy, but not always to the poor. In many cases, the infectious diseases are rampant in these poor areas where individuals need these medicines the most. So that’s our focus.” Under Samuel’s leadership, Gilead has entered into a series of voluntary licensing agreements with 19 companies in China, India and South Africa, creating a competitive market for generic HIV and Hepatitis B drugs

that dramatically reduced prices and helped to deliver medicines to more than 14 million people in need. Starting in 2014, Gilead extended licensing agreements to 11 Indian manufacturers to scale up access to Hepatitis C treatments in 101 countries, including Egypt, India and Pakistan.

COMBATING THE EPIDEMIC Following five years of declines, the annual number of new HIV diagnoses has remained stable in the U.S. since 2013. During 2016 and 2017, half of new diagnoses concentrated in 48 “hot spot” counties as well as Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico. An estimated 12 million people living with HIV in resource-limited countries receive antiretroviral therapies provided by Gilead Sciences, Inc. or one of its manufacturing partners. Headquartered in Foster City, Calif., Gilead is a research-based biopharmaceutical company that discovers, develops and commercializes innovative medicines in areas of unmet medical need. On May 9, 2019, Gilead announced that it would donate Truvada for PrEP® to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in support of national efforts to help prevent HIV and end the epidemic. This medication donation is among the largest ever in the United States and is part of Gilead’s broader ongoing initiatives to help ensure that everyone who can benefit from PrEP is able to access it. Gilead will

C E L E B R AT I N G 1 0 0 Y E A R S O F N C E

provide the CDC with up to 2.4 million bottles of Truvada® annually for uninsured Americans at risk for HIV. Gilead’s donation will support a greatly accelerated effort to reach these individuals, as well as create an opportunity for state and local partnerships to develop and implement protocols that are intended to ensure that uninsured people at risk for HIV are given access to PrEP at no cost. Beyond the donation, Gilead’s commitment to combating the HIV/ AIDS epidemic includes the COMPASS (COMmitment to Partnership in Addressing HIV/AIDS in Southern States) Initiative™. COMPASS is a 10-year, $100 million commitment to address the HIV/AIDS epidemic in the South through capacity building, mental health and traumainformed care, and awareness and antistigma education.

LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM At NJIT, Samuel serves as a member of the Albert Dorman Honors College Board of Visitors. He was awarded the Edward F. Weston Medal for Professional Achievement by the university in 2010, which is presented to alumni in recognition of outstanding personal, professional and civic achievement, and commitment to the development of the university. On May 21, 2019, he received an honorary Doctor of Science at NJIT’s 103rd Commencement ceremony.

In January 2019, Samuel was elected to the National Academy of Engineering “for innovations in supply chain management and manufacturing technologies central to delivering medication in developing countries.” He currently is under consideration for induction to the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering for “pioneering new approaches to providing medicines in developing countries.” Samuel said that the most rewarding aspect of his career is the level of duality. “I think the first is that I have this really cool job where I’m helping to bring medicines to people who need them,” he explained. “These are life saving medicines. You either live or die of HIV, or you live or you die of liver cancer, which Hepatitis B and C lead to, or you die of fungal infections, as you do in a transplant — a liver transplant, a heart transplant...We have a drug that if taken appropriately prevents you from getting HIV. These are life saving medicines, and I have a really cool job that allows us to bring these medicines into countries that save lives. On our business card we have “Advancing Therapeutics, Improving Lives,” and I really get to do the ‘improving lives’ piece. The other part — because there’s a duality to it — is that I’ve been fortunate and blessed to be able to help my family climb out of an immigrant life, to really optimize what America is about. It’s about individuals that can come from a small Caribbean island and pursue their dreams, give back and achieve things. I am living the American dream. I think that’s fascinating as well.” n Author: Christina Crovetto is editor of NJIT Magazine.

Dear NJIT Alumni and Benefactors:

On behalf of President Bloom and the entire New Jersey Institute of Technology community, I am delighted to share with you our 2018 Honor Roll of Donors – and to thank you for your remarkable generosity in support of the university.

This past year was one in which NJIT continued to reach new and unprecedented heights – as an academic and research powerhouse, as a catalyst of much-needed economic development, and as a preferred destination for hardworking and high-achieving students eager to receive a worldclass, career-relevant STEM education.

1949

Just as important, NJIT’s decidedly upward trajectory has garnered much deserved – and long overdue – recognition from a variety of corners. A few recent examples:

Annual Fellow Rudolph A. Dehn, ’41

1943 Annual Fellow George J. Bergdolt, ’43 Harry G. Lake, ’43

1944 Annual Fellow Daniel J. Smith, ’44*

• U.S. News & World Report ranked us #106 among all national universities in 2019 – the highest ranking that NJIT has ever earned in the magazine’s annual “Best Colleges” publication. • Forbes and The New York Times named us as the #1 university in the entire nation for enabling students to achieve upward socioeconomic mobility. • PayScale put us in the top 2% of all colleges and universities for return on investment. • Princeton Review included the university among its “Best 384 Colleges” and identified us as a top college in the Northeast region. • The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education classified NJIT as an R1 institution, making it one of just 131 universities in the nation – and one of just three in New Jersey – that boast the “highest research activity.” I hope that all of you take great pride in these accolades, as well as the many accomplishments and successes upon which they are based. I also hope you know how grateful we are to our alumni and friends for helping us scale such lofty heights. The considerable time, talent, and treasure that you have invested in our students, faculty, programs, and facilities are among the forces driving NJIT’s notable progress during the past few years. Last year alone, 5,247 donors contributed nearly $15 million to the university, establishing 43 new scholarships and adding $7.6 million to the endowment. These are impressive totals, and they reflect your continued confidence not only in the enduring value of an NJIT degree but in the promise and potential of our talented students. On their behalf, in particular, you have our profound and lasting gratitude. Sincerely,

Kenneth Alexo, Jr., Ph.D. Vice President for Development & Alumni Relations President, Foundation at NJIT

1881 SOCIETY NJIT’s planned giving benefactors play a very special role in supporting the university’s growth and momentum. Individuals who make gifts in the form of trusts and annuities receive a lifetime income stream while providing financial support for the university’s most pressing needs. Similarly, individuals listing NJIT as a beneficiary in their will, life insurance policy, or individual retirement account support generations of future students through the creation of endowed scholarships or by funding capital improvements throughout the campus. Our planned giving benefactors are recognized as members of the 1881 Society.

n June 30, 2018, New Jersey Institute of Technology successfully closed the most ambitious fundraising initiative in the university’s long and distinguished history. With contributions from nearly 24,000 alumni, students, faculty, staff, friends, foundations, and corporations, the NJIT NEXT campaign exceeded its $200 million goal, finishing with a total of $201,019,052. The NEXT campaign has made an indelible mark on NJIT. The significant resources secured through this effort have enabled the university to sustain its decidedly upward trajectory and to reach new and unprecedented heights – as an academic and research powerhouse, as a catalyst of economic development, and as a preferred destination for exceptionally talented and hardworking students. The extraordinary generosity of donors to this campaign: • established 257 new student scholarships and fellowships; • a dded close to $50 million to NJIT’s endowment, pushing its value to more than $120 million by the end of the campaign; • s upported award-winning faculty and student research that is improving our world and everyday lives; and • t ransformed NJIT’s learning and living environment, including the construction of the Life Sciences and Engineering Center, the Wellness and Events Center, and Makerspace, the renovation of the historic Central King Building, and the creation or renovation of 90+ labs. The NJIT NEXT campaign was led by a group of dedicated alumni volunteers, including campaign co-chairs C. Stephen Cordes ’72, former managing director of Clarion Partners; Nicholas M. DeNichilo ’73, ’78, president and CEO of Mott MacDonald; and Vincent Naimoli ’62, chairman emeritus and founder of the Tampa Bay Rays and chairman and CEO of Anchor Industries International and Naimoli Baseball Enterprises. A special celebration of the successful completion of the NJIT NEXT campaign took place on campus during the evening of Saturday, June 1, 2019, as part of the 2019 Alumni Weekend festivities.

NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR MURPHY TELLS NJIT GRADUATES TO “ALWAYS RETAIN A PROPER PERSPECTIVE” AT 2019 COMMENCEMENT

Joel S. Bloom President, NJIT

NJIT conferred 1,733 bachelor’s degrees at the 103rd commencement ceremony on May 21, 2019, at the Prudential Center in Newark. New Jersey Governor Philip A. Murphy received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters and delivered the commencement address in which he advised graduates to “always maintain a proper perspective on things.” “Don’t ignore what may seem like small details, because those details can loom extraordinarily large later in life,” he said. “And, likewise, don’t get caught up in the latest outrage for outrage’s sake, because in the grander scheme of issues facing our society, there are likely more pressing and existential issues. Don’t mistake the molehills for mountains, and vice versa.” n
