Stevens Update

November 2025 • Hoboken, NJ

Welcome from Vice President Cindy Chin!

Greetings from Stevens Institute of Technology!

Dear Colleagues,

As we approach Thanksgiving, I want to take a moment to express our gratitude for the work you do every day to guide and support your students. This season is a time for reflection, and at Stevens, we’re proud to reflect on the incredible contributions our students are making — both on campus and beyond.

As we look ahead to the upcoming deadlines, I wanted to share a few stories that reflect the kind of transformative experiences Stevens students enjoy and the kind of impact they’re already making.

This summer, several Stevens students interned at New Jersey Transit, where they applied their classroom knowledge to real-world challenges in infrastructure resilience, sustainable mobility and smart city integration. The agency has praised Stevens students for their technical expertise, innovative thinking and systems-level problem-solving — qualities that align perfectly with their mission to modernize operations and make data-driven decisions. It’s a powerful example of how our students are not only prepared for the workforce but are already contributing to it in meaningful ways.

That same spirit of curiosity and impact is evident in students like Mollie Good, a Class of 2026 science, technology and society major in the School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Mollie shared that she chose Stevens for its opportunities and strong STEM academics and has found her niche in patient-centered healthcare.

Innovation was also on full display at our recent Undergraduate Research Symposium, where students presented projects in areas ranging from AI and sustainability to biomedical engineering and urban planning. The event showcased not just the depth of our academic programs, but the creativity and drive our students bring to every challenge.

As a reminder, our upcoming application deadlines are:

Early Action: Dec. 1
Early Decision 2 and Regular Decision: Jan. 5, 2026

Thank you for all you do to support your students. We’re here to help if you have any questions about Stevens or the application process.

Warm regards,
Cindy

Student Insight

Nicholas Russo
Computer Science, Class of 2026

Stevens has given me incredible opportunities to explore the intersection of law and technology. Working closely with amazing faculty, I’ve led interdisciplinary research projects that include developing a tool to help lawyers express laws as code, studying students’ perspectives on AI governance and designing a graduate-level course on computational law. Beyond research, Stevens’ supportive community and institutional backing enabled me to create new opportunities for future students by founding the Stevens Journal of Law and Technology and establishing the Stevens Intellectual Property Law Advising Center. The mentorship, collaboration and resources here have been invaluable in shaping my path to Harvard Law School, where I’ve already been accepted and will begin in Fall 2028.

Staff Insight

Colleen Lavelle
Associate Director of Undergraduate Admissions

Many believe financial aid is only for those with high need, but all students should apply! Aid includes grants, scholarships, loans and work-study, and eligibility varies. The FAFSA is simpler now, and even higher-income families may need it for school or external aid. Another myth: The financial aid office is intimidating. In reality, we're here to help — answering questions, guiding students through the process and making it all feel manageable and less scary.
