Eagle Success is a competitive program and fills up quickly! Students will take two college courses (for a total of six credit hours) during the summer. These credits count toward graduation and give students a jump start on college education. Upon completion of the summer term, students continue to the fall 2019 semester. Your students can participate in Eagle Success at the Armstrong Campus in Savannah or the Statesboro Campus. Eagle Success (ES) requirements include:
Students accepted into the program will be required to complete the Eagle Success commitment form in order to apply for on-campus housing and sign up for SOAR (orientation). Any accepted freshman can choose to participate in ES by completing the commitment form and reaching out to their Admissions Counselor. ES has a limited number of spaces. When the program is full, we will not be able to accept any more students. Students should complete the fall 2019 application for consideration. You can learn more by visiting the Eagle Success website or by contacting your Admissions Counselor, Kat Shuman, at 912.478.5391.

Applied engineer technologists in areas like production, manufacturing, process control, and instrumentation are in high demand. That’s why New Jersey Institute of Technology recently opened its new School of Applied Engineering and Technology (SAET).
Housed in NJIT’s Newark College of Engineering, SAET has a strong focus on real-world learning by emphasizing internships, co-ops, and apprenticeships at companies and government agencies. Another key component is NJIT’s new $10 million Makerspace, which is equipped with industry-grade machines and instrumentations, making it the ideal learning environment for SAET students. When fully implemented, SAET will be home to nearly 2,000 students, roughly 30 full-time faculty members, and about 100 auxiliary faculty and adjunct professors working in the industry. Students will have their choice of 10 different bachelor’s programs. Are your students ready for the tech-driven education offered by SAET and NJIT’s other schools and colleges? Then please encourage them to apply now to join our Class of 2023. We look forward to learning more about them! Sincerely, Stephen M.
