Academic Operations
Susan Zambrio, Assistant Vice President
We have been working on a room inventory at the West Windsor Campus. In addition to making the
appropriate corrections to the information we have in our system, with the help of the faculty and adjuncts who
participated, we were also able to identify issues that impacted their teaching experiences. We will continue to
identify and address any concerns or suggestions we received.
Our Distinguished Lecture series began on September 17 and continues through November 24. The final
two lectures are entitled “The American Dream is Alive and Well” presented by Marion Zieger, a holocaust
survivor and “Law and Public Safety” presented by John Jay Hoffman, the Acting Attorney General for the state
of New Jersey. They are both offered at noon in the CM Building. Shelley Munn is collecting recommendations
for our spring lineup. Please contact her if you have someone special with a special story or presentation to share.
The Academic Testing Center will be open during Final Exams week (including Friday) for students with
accommodations or taking make-up exams or exams for online courses. They will also be doing batch scoring for
any classes who are interested in having your classroom exam graded in the Testing Center.
