Seton Hall in the Community
Seton Hall’s Interprofessional Health Sciences campus will receive a major boost through
federal funding secured by Congressman Bill Pascrell (NJ-9) and Senators Robert Menendez
and Cory Booker.
Seton Hall has received the New Jersey Governor’s We Value Our Veterans Academia Awardin
recognition of its “conspicuous support for our armed forces."
Seton Hall University has expanded its presence in Newark with a satellite space and
Welcome Center in the city’s new Gateway Complex - just moments away from the Law
School and Prudential Center.
The grant from the Health Resources and Services Administration allows graduate students
to engage in a semester-long clinical experience on the mobile health care units in
Newark, New Jersey.

over $1.6 billion annually, according to an independent analysis that looked at the
societal and economic impact of the University through an assessment of its annual
operations, capital investments, ancillary spending, and the additional earnings or
