William Paterson University (The William Paterson University of New Jersey) is a comprehensive public institution located in Wayne, New Jersey serving nearly 11,000 undergraduate and graduate students through five colleges: College of the Arts and Communication, Cotsakos College of Business, College of Education, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, and College of Science and Health.

The institution now offers more than 250 undergraduate and graduate academic programs which range from liberal arts and sciences to pre-professional and professional programs. This offers students the opportunity to experiment with new interests while preparing for careers, advanced graduate education, and lifelong learning. It also offers a wide variety of continuing education programs designed for both professionals and the general public.

Location

William Paterson University is located on a 370 acres (1.5 km2), hilly, wooded campus in northern New Jersey in the suburban town of Wayne. The campus borders on High Mountain Preserve, nearly 1,200 acres (4.9 km2) of wetlands and woodlands, and three miles (5 km) west of the historic Great Falls in Paterson. New York City is 20 miles (32 km) to the east, the Jersey Shore is an hour’s drive south, skiing is 30 miles (48 km) north, and the Meadowlands Sports Complex is a half-hour drive away.

History

William Paterson University was founded in 1855 as the Paterson City Normal School. For more than a century, training teachers for New Jersey schools was its exclusive mission. In 1951, the University moved to the present campus. Originally known as Ailsa Farms, the site was purchased by the state of New Jersey in 1948 from the family of Garret A. Hobart, twenty-fourth vice president of the United States. The original manor house, built in 1877, was the weekend retreat and summer residence of the Hobart family. Today the building is known as Hobart Manor and is home of the Office of the President and the Office of Institutional Advancement. Hobart Manor was designated a national and state landmark in 1976.

The University changed its name to Paterson State Teachers College when it relocated from Paterson in 1951. In 1966, the curriculum was expanded to include degree offerings other than those leading to a teaching career. In 1971, it was renamed The William Paterson College of New Jersey. The change of name honored the man who was the state’s first senator, its second governor, and a United States Supreme Court Justice appointed by President George Washington, and reflected both the institution’s beginnings in the city that also bears his name and the legislative mandate to move from a teachers college to a broad-based liberal arts institution.

In another historic milestone, the Commission on Higher Education in June 1997 awarded William Paterson university status.

Kathleen Waldron, the former president of Baruch College and a former senior executive at Citigroup, has been appointed the seventh president of William Paterson University. She took office August 2, 2010 to replace the retiring Arnold Speert, who had served as the school's president since 1985 and oversaw the further expansion of William Paterson's curriculum and campus.

Academics/Faculty

With an average class size of 20, William Paterson students study in small classes, and have the opportunity to take advantage of numerous research, internship, and clinical experiences.

The institution’s full-time faculty is composed of scholars and teachers, many of whom are recipients of awards and grants from the Fulbright Program, the Guggenheim Foundation, the National Endowment for the Humanities, the National Institutes of Health, and the National Science Foundation. More than 90 percent of full-time faculty members hold the Ph.D. or highest degree in their field.

A significant expansion and renovation of the Science Building has been underway to provide state-of-the-art classrooms and research facilities, allowing for enhanced opportunities for research collaboration among faculty and students. Portions of the renovated building opened during summer 2010, and the remainder of the project is slated for completion in 2011.

The University also features other sophisticated laboratories devoted to arts and sciences, large areas for environmental research, and many specialized facilities. Hobart Hall is the communication building, housing TV broadcast studios, the WPSC radio station and sound engineering arts facilities.

The recently expanded and renovated University Commons, including the John Victor Machuga Student Center with its food court and the Wayne Hall dining facility, is the hub of campus life, providing a venue for the entire University community to gather and interact.

Residential Life

The University provides housing for nearly 2,600 students in ten residence halls, including two that opened in 2006. These newest residence halls, High Mountain East and West, offer learning communities in collaboration with the University’s Honors College, and feature smart classrooms that are used as part of the living/learning experience.

With accommodations ranging from double room suites to apartments, the University’s modern, smoke-free buildings range in size from 100 to 400 students and are coed by suite, with four residents sharing a suite or apartment. First-year freshmen start out in traditional residence halls, while upper-class students and older transfer students experience the added independence of the apartments, Pioneer Hall and Heritage Hall.

In addition, the University offers club sports in ice hockey, equestrian, rugby, and bowling.

The University has been nationally recognized for its alcohol prevention program, which requires freshmen and transfer students to take alcohol.edu, an online alcohol prevention course to educate students about the consequences of problematic drinking. In addition, specially trained students serve as peer health advocates and help to spread the message to their peers about the need to take a responsible approach to alcohol.

Athletics

The University has 12 intercollegiate sports teams in the NCAA Division III, five for men and seven for women, including successful NCAA teams in men’s baseball and women’s softball. The William Paterson University Pioneers compete in Division III of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), as well as in the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) and the New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC). Both men and women have teams in basketball, soccer, and swimming. In addition, the men field baseball and football teams (the baseball team won national championships in 1992 and 1996). Women compete in field hockey, softball, tennis, and volleyball.

The University has announced that it will add men’s golf to its NCAA intercollegiate athletics program beginning in the spring of 2011. All teams are named "The Pioneers."

Cultural Events

Cultural events take place on campus throughout the year. Among the programs are theater productions, gallery exhibits, and concerts presenting jazz, classical, and contemporary music.

The University’s Jazz Room Series, launched in 1978, is one of the largest and most prestigious college-sponsored jazz events in the country. Performers include renowned professionals who encompass the complete spectrum of jazz, from practitioners of traditional jazz to avant-garde to bebop to swing to Afro-Latin jazz, as well as William Paterson’s own student ensembles. The series has won numerous grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts for its innovative programming.

The University also sponsors the Distinguished Lecturer Series (DLS), which brings to campus discussions by speakers from the worlds of politics, government, the arts, literature, science, and business. Over the past 30 years, the series has presented such speakers as New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox general managers Brian Cashman and Theo Epstein, musical theatre composer Stephen Sondheim, New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, former Secretary of State Colin Powell, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, film directors Oliver Stone and Spike Lee, performer Gregory Hines, writers Alice Walker and Joyce Carol Oates, and, most recently, entertainers Penn and Teller. As part of the 2009-10 DLS season, William Paterson University hosted the New Jersey Gubernatorial Debate, which featured candidates Chris Christie, Jon Corzine, and Chris Daggett.

The Bravery in Radio Award

In April 2009, WPSC 88.7 FM, the radio station of William Paterson University launched the 'Bravery in Radio' Award. The inaugural award was presented to Les Paul in April 2009 for his pioneering work on the Les Paul Radio Show in 1949 with his wife Mary Ford. In April 2010, Bruce Morrow (Cousin Brucie) received the award in recognition of his track record of creating "inspirational programming and a lifelong commitment to the medium of radio." In March 2011, the award was presented live on the Howard Stern Show to Howard Stern and Robin Quivers who accepted the award for their "pioneering work in the medium of radio." After some on-air ribbing of the award and the university, Stern then sincerely accepted the award by saying “Thank you very much for this beautiful award. I do appreciate it - I’m not so jaded that I can’t be complimented by the students.”
