Nicole Cibelli, our Director of Admission, and her team did a fantastic job building this class with proud Bloomfield College Bears. Our new students have started their story in such a positive and enthusiastic way and I am excited to see how they progress and grow as they pursue their academic and personal goals.”

Students intending to join the College’s Division of Creative Arts & Technology will be part of the first group to experience the institution’s new Center for Technology + Creativity, a state-of-the-art space to be completed in August 2016 that will house the division and place it in the heart of campus on Liberty Street.
