Joshua and Kasai faced challenges, stayed focused on their goals, and never lost sight of the future they were working toward. With the support of donor-funded scholarships and their own determination, they turned possibility into achievement. Proof that when Pioneers are met with opportunity, there’s no limit to what they can accomplish. 💪

🧡🖤 Pioneer Pride!🧡🖤

We were thrilled to welcome three distinguished William Paterson Pioneers back to campus last week for a tour of our state-of-the-art Nel Bolger RN Nursing Simulation Lab in University Hall.

Assemblyman Al Abdelaziz (political science, Class of 2009), Senator Benjie E. Wimberly (special education teaching certification and former adjunct professor), and Assemblyman Kenyatta Stewart (physical education, Class of 2004) joined President Helldobler to learn more about how William Paterson is helping address New Jersey's nursing workforce needs. Home to the largest nursing student enrollment on any college campus in New Jersey, our School of Nursing is preparing the next generation of highly skilled healthcare professionals.

Thank you to our esteemed Pioneers for their continued support of higher education and their partnership in strengthening communities across New Jersey.
