Swipe through to see some of the colloquia scholars have experienced so far this semester! ✨



Reclaiming Your Community
For many ADHC scholars, this marked their first colloquium of the year! 🎉 This year’s First-Year Seminar reading centered on the idea of investing in and uplifting the communities we call home. In her work, Majora Carter challenges young people to think critically about what it means to create opportunity, strengthen neighborhoods, and contribute to lasting change.
NJIT had the honor of welcoming Carter to campus, where scholars heard firsthand that meaningful community change is rarely simple or immediate, it happens through persistence, collaboration, and one step at a time. 🫂

Global Health Systems: Digital Metamorphosis
Professor Martin Curley of Maynooth University introduced scholars to new approaches for transforming global health through digital innovation, systems thinking, and research-informed practice. Drawing on more than a decade of research and examples from Ireland’s health system, he explored how healthcare can shift from being centered primarily around hospitals to being more connected, preventative, and focused on the individual. Scholars also learned about emerging models such as secure patient information exchange platforms and mobile-based care that could help reshape how health services are delivere

Happy Flashback Friday! 🎉

⏮️ Rewind to August 27: our incoming first-year scholars took on the annual ADHC First-Year Retreat, exploring Newark on foot in 18 groups led by their retreat counselors. It’s a tradition that’s long helped scholars feel at home in their new city, and this year’s group made it extra memorable: our biggest class yet, and our most international one.

The rain didn’t stop anyone. If anything, it made for better stories. Scholars took in the sights, struck up conversations, and got to know the city a little better with every stop.

Whether you’re brand new to ADHC or about to graduate, we want to hear from you: what was your FYR destination, and what did you love about it? 🌇

Happy Flashback Friday! 🥳

In honor of recently being back together in the same room for the First-Year Advising Meeting, here are some throwback moments from the events that helped shape the start of the first-year experience! Sitting with First-Year Seminar groups brought friends back together and sparked reflection on how much has changed over the academic year. 🫂

The First-Year Retreat marked the beginning of college, where incoming Honors Scholars had the opportunity to meet their peers and explore Newark while learning about the city’s history and key sites. It was a great opportunity to build connections, as many students shared during their advising meeting reflections. 🌇

Planting Day was another hallmark event, bringing the Honors community together through hands-on volunteering on campus. Some groups worked on maintaining existing biodiversity gardens planted by previous honors scholars, while others helped bring a new space to life, Insect Isle, near the Faculty Memorial lot. 🌿

Bioblitz weekend was an exciting opportunity to explore Branch Brook Park and served as a key step in collecting data and conducting field research for First-Year Seminar proposals. Scholars also contributed to park clean-up efforts and engaged with Newark residents and parkgoers to better understand how their proposals could create meaningful impact. 🌳

The Honors First-Year Retreat, Planting Day, and Bioblitz are all signature experiences at ADHC. Whether you are a current first-year scholar or an alum, comment below which experience was the most fun and impactful for you!

🌿 Recapping an incredible showcase of innovation, sustainability, and impact at the Sustainable Newark: ADHC First Year Seminar Branch Brook Park Biodiversity Initiatives colloquium! 🌍

Our top first-year scholars presented their creative proposals to enhance biodiversity and reimagine a section of Branch Brook Park, the nation’s first county park, which spans over 360 acres.

A special thank you to Thomas Dougherty, President & CEO of the Branch Brook Park Alliance, for partnering with us, sharing the park’s rich history, and providing valuable feedback to our teams.
We were also honored to hear from Marjorie Perry, whose words continue to inspire the next generation of leaders and innovators.

🏆 Congratulations to the winning team, Living Parks by Parks for People! Their proposal will be brought to life by the incoming Albert Dorman Honors College first-year class next fall!
