Every year, NJIT holds its Excellence in Research award ceremony, an event designed to recognize the stellar work of individual researchers and boost awareness nationally and internationally of the school’s growing research program. NJIT’s Office of University Advancement and the school’s Board of Visitors, which bestows the prize, commissioned CN Foundry to produce videos to profile the winners and showcase their work at the live award ceremony and via streaming video.
