Rutgers AAUP-AFT (Local 6323) Executive Director Patrick Nowlan and President Todd Wolfson have made this year’s NJBIZ Education Power 50 list.

“Handling a public health emergency requires strong responses from a variety of institutions,” writes NJBIZ’s Jeffrey Kanige. “The role played by educators and researchers — especially those at Rutgers University — is reflected in this iteration of the NJBIZ Education Power 50. … And while much work remains, the state’s economy has begun to reopen, thanks in no small measure to tests and contact tracing developed and monitored at institutions of higher learning.”

Kean University President Dr. Lamont O. Repollet and Rutgers University President Jonathan Holloway also made the cut; click here to view a slideshow of the NJBIZ Education Power 50 list.
