Dear Friends and Colleagues,
Warm greetings to you from Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, just across the river from New York City.
Over the past decade, Stevens has made extraordinary advancements across all areas of the university. We have reached new heights of achievement:
- 68% increase in undergraduate enrollment
- 147-point increase in the average SAT score of first-year cohort
- 98% increase in the number of women undergraduates
- 150% increase in the number of underrepresented minorities in the undergraduate cohort
- 72% increase in FTE graduate enrollment
- 36% increase in faculty lines
- 97% increase in research award funding
- $200 million capital campaign successfully completed
And quite literally, we have reached new heights with our stunning new University Center Complex, a 1,000-bed undergraduate residence atop a state-of-the-art university center, offering conference facilities, student services, dining spaces and magnificent views of the Manhattan skyline.
While we are putting the finishing touches on the University Center Complex, we took a moment last month to celebrate the significant progress of our last decade and proudly watched as the STEVENS sign atop the new building was lit for the first time, visible to New York City.
Students, faculty, staff, alumni and members of the Hoboken community joined us at this grand illumination, and I now wish to share this proud moment with you. Highlights of the event can be viewed here.

Sincerely,
