NJCU President Andrés Acebo echoed this sentiment, stating “This historic announcement for both institutions builds upon NJCU’s nearly century-long commitment to providing a socioeconomically diverse population with access to an excellent education as a catalyst to social mobility. This is a pillar of our commitment to being one of the public anchor institutions in Hudson County and surrounding communities. NJCU recently announced the most significant overhaul of its general education program in decades. Our intentional work alongside our partners at Hudson County Community College will only further the distinction that NJCU is now the most transferfriendly public university in the State of New Jersey. The partnership between NJCU and HCCC provides tools to change the trajectory for students who enroll in the community college, make the transition to the four-year institution, and engage fully in the opportunity to earn a bachelor’s degree.”

There are now 15 academic pathways encompassing a variety of fields and disciplines available to HCCC students who want to begin a course of study here and continue on to NJCU after completing their associate degree. HCCC students in the following programs will be the first to benefit from these pathways – Accounting A.S. (to B.S. in Accounting at NJCU), Biology A.S. (to B.A. or B.S. in Biology), Business Administration A.S. (to B.S. in Management or B.S. in Marketing), Chemistry A.S. (to B.A. or B.S. in Chemistry), Computer Science (Cybersecurity) A.S. (to B.S. in Cybersecurity), Criminal Justice A.S. (to B.S. in Criminal Justice), English A.A. (to B.A. in Creative Writing or B.A. in Literature), Human Services, Pre-Social Work A.S.

MAKING MUSIC Favorite Albums of 2023

By Alan Sculley

Unlike some years, 2023 didn’t yield an obvious choice for best album, but it was exceptionally deep in quality releases. Here are 40 albums that stood out for me in 2023.

Wilco: “Cousin” – Working with an outside producer for the first time since 2007’s “Sky Blue

Sky” – Cate Le Bon -this gifted band created a full-bodied work of strong songs that incorporate a kaleidoscopic range of instrumentation and sounds.

Jess Klein: “When We Rise” -- Klein has been releasing worthy albums since 1998. Now, a dozen albums into her career, she has hit a new high point,

Margo Price “Strays”

Jess Klein: “When We Rise” with a stellar album that meets at the intersection of rock, Americana and pop.

Margo Price: “Strays II” – Seeming less bound by genres, Price readily mixes country, pop with rock on “The Mountain.” You’ll want to adopt these strays.

Wilsn: “Those Days Are Over” – On this stirring debut album, this artist from Melbourne, Australia (real name Shannon Busch) sounds like she could have been raised in Memphis, recording during the 1960s for Stax Records.

Page 12, December 15-December 31,2023 River View Observer

Jason Isbell & the 400 Unit: “Weathervanes” – Isbell again shows his considerable story-telling talent on “Weathervanes,” and ability to craft evocative Americana melodies.

Olivia Rodrigo: “Guts” – Coming off a blockbuster debut album in “Sour,” there’s no slump for Rodrigo with “Guts,” as she grows bolder and more musically varied on this 12-song effort.

Foo Fighters: “But Here We Are” – The band’s first album since the tragic death of drummer Taylor Hawkins finds Dave Grohl and company making another set of smartly crafted robust rock fans have come to expect.

The High Divers: “Should I Be Worried?”

-- On their third proper studio album, The High Divers craft highly developed, multi-faceted songs that draw from rock, pop and Americana.

Matt Andersen: “The Big Bottle of Joy” – This Canadian shows he knows a few things about Southern soul, blues and gospel on an album that is a joy.

Iggy Pop: “Every Loser” – The man that 50 years ago helped pioneer punk cranks out hard-hitting but always-catchy rockers and moodier yet punchy fare Honorable Mention – Here are 30 more albums that make up the next tier of my favorites – and there’s not much separating them from the top 10.

Honorable Mention – Here are 30 more albums that make up the next tier of my favorites – and there’s not much separating them from the top 10.
