This Week on Your New Jersey we’re heading to the heart of higher education and leadership in New Jersey. Host Lisa Marie Falbo sits down with Montclair State University President Jonathan Koppell, whose forward-thinking leadership has driven record-breaking enrollment, expanded access to affordable education, and positioned Montclair as a statewide leader in community engagement.
We also dive into Cooking with Koppell—his own interview series where New Jersey’s gubernatorial candidates join him in the kitchen for candid conversations and shared meals. It’s a fresh take on politics, civic engagement, and connection.
