More specifically, 鶹 ranks as #1 among nine of the public colleges in New Jersey. This ranking affirms the value of a public liberal arts education in todays increasingly complex and competitive environment, said Peter P. Mercer, president of 鶹 College. Since my arrival here in 2005, I have heard 鶹 referred to as New Jerseys best kept secret. The secret is finally out. Our dedicated faculty and staff mentor students through a high quality education at an affordable cost and our students thrive as a result. Berlyann Rivera, who serves as the student member on the Colleges Board of Trustees, said, It is a tremendous point of pride for us to see 鶹 recognized among private elite institutions like Princeton University and Stevens. As a student and as a member of the Colleges governing board, I can say first-hand and with confidence, that choosing 鶹 College for my undergraduate education has been one of the best decisions of my life.
