NJIT Students Spruce Up the Warren Street Station on the Newark Light Rail
At 11:30 this morning there was a brief ceremony for the unveiling of two murals depicting NJIT and the city of Newark. There were speeches made by:
NJIT President Robert Altenkirch
New Jersey Transit Executive Director James Weinstein
Former NJIT Student Senate President Baker Assaf
Current NJIT Student President Dominick Cirillo
Tjhe Student Senate worked very hard over the years to help make the train station more appealing to those taking public transportation to NJIT. Students, faculty and staff certainly save energy by using mass transit instead of driving their cars. The rising gasoline prices make this a cost effective option. I have ridden on New Jersey Transit for the 18 1/2 years I have been employed at NJIT.
Bruce Slutsky was born in New York City in 1949. I have a BS in chemistry from City College of New York, a masters degree in chemistry from the University of Rhode Island, and a masters degree in library and information science from Pratt Institute. At the end of 2017 I retired as a Science/Engineering Librarian at the New Jersey Institute of Technology in Newark after 25 years of service.. I have been married to Karen since 1983. We have a son Lee who is now 32 years old. I am very much interested in the popular music of the 1960s especially Bob Dylan and the Beatles. I am interested in rock and roll radio. Since the inception of the team in 1962 I have been a big fan of the New York Mets.
