In the midst of juggling school and work, they created Nari, an app that helps psychiatrists and mental health clinicians treat patients struggling with anxiety and depression by using screentime data to monitor digital addiction and propose interventions if needed.

Governor Mikie Sherrill on March 10 stood in the Assembly Chamber at the New Jersey State House to give her inaugural budget address for the coming fiscal year. Because New Jersey is earning less than it is spending, Sherrill proposed cutting state spending and scaling back some state programs.

For the state’s public four-year universities, the governor’s $60.7 billion plan would keep their operating aid at virtually the same levels as the current fiscal year. The College asked for nearly $36 million for FY27, but the governor is recommending it receive about $35 million. That’s a less than 1% increase from the FY26 budget.
