Board Members

UCNJ is managed by two boards comprised of volunteer community members who give generously of their time and expertise for the benefit of the College. UCNJ has a unique system of governance with both a Board of Trustees and Board of Governors. The governance, control, conduct, management, and administration of the College is vested in and allocated between the two boards. UCNJ’s board members advocate for the mission of providing a high-quality, affordable, and accessible education to Union County residents.
