"As a strategist and advocate for the College, Matthew has been instrumental in raising my profile in the New Jersey press, strengthening my voice, and introducing me to key leaders in the state and beyond. But most of all, as the only African-American woman who serves as President of a major four-year college in New Jersey, I came to the state not knowing what to expect and thankfully he has best served me as a friend and I know he will always have my back. As far as the work he can accomplish, look no further to when I appointed him as Co-Chair of the College's Strategic Planning Committee, which mapped out our priorities and tactics for the next five years. He led a very large committee, full of diverse ideas and agendas, and helped bring people together to find common ground. His thoroughness and creativity has been deeply valued on our campus.”
