"When Black communities develop entrepreneurial bu

"When Black communities develop entrepreneurial businesses, they flourish. This is true for communities of all races that are struggling economically," writes Dale Caldwell, executive director of FDU's Rothman Institute of Innovation and Entrepreneurship.

He suggests designating "EZones," to kickstart entrepreneurship, through "public funding, private investment, grant funds and tax credits, so communities can generate the revenue and jobs needed to reduce local poverty in a sustainable way (without long-term government funding)."

During the summer of 2020, Alnazir Blackman and hi

During the summer of 2020, Alnazir Blackman and his teammates formed the Athletes for Change and Equality club on FDU’s Florham Campus — a safe space for students to feel accepted and empowered. “There was a lot going on in the country at the time with the murder of George Floyd, police brutality, and the riots and I really wanted to do something,” he says.

“I wanted to create change and to be a part of the change that was happening in this country. It took a lot of initiative, courage and hard work.” 💪

Al’s hard work paid off when he was named to 2021 Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good Works Team®. “I’m my biggest critic,” Al says. “I’m always questioning what I’m doing and telling myself that I’ve got work harder, that I’m not doing enough. When I got nominated to the team, I couldn’t even believe it. And when I won it, I was in a bigger state of disbelief. After a while, I realized that I really do deserve it and that makes me feel really good.” #FolksofFairleigh

Congratulations to Al and the entire football team for their victory this past weekend, crowning them the Eastern College Athletic Conference James Lynah Bowl champions! 🏈

The more alumna Maame Mensah, BA'21 (Metro), became involved at #fdumetro with student government, @FDUKnightsAthletics cheerleading, orientation and the @fdu_bsu, the more she grew into herself as a leader.

“I think it’s important if you are around people who can’t represent themselves or can’t speak up for themselves, to speak up for them,” she says.

"As I advanced my career, I was not blind to the obstacles that exist as a Black woman in leadership — the isolation, the ostracism, the stereotyping and the lack of belief in my abilities," writes Janeen Uzzell, MBA’02 (Metro) and CEO of the @nsbe.

"Yet I have continued to say yes — the single best decision I have ever made."
