In recognition of his leadership in computer science, contributions to the field of IT education, and ability to provide strategic guidance in producing the tech leaders of tomorrow, NJIT’s School of Management has appointed Addteq President and Founder Sukhbir Dhillon to their Board of Advisors.
While serving on the Board of Advisors, Dhillon will assist with guiding curriculum goals and execution, ensuring that research addresses current and future market needs, developing strategic plans for School of Management objectives, and fostering interaction with the business community.
