Celebrating a true spokesperson for STEM in New Jersey, this honor highlights an organization or individual who most effectively communicates the importance of STEM to New Jersey and its citizens. The NJSPN STEM Advocate of the Year is making big waves to ensure the Garden State continues to lead the nation in innovation and meaningful work.
HINJ’s launch of the weekly “NJ Innovates” campaign in June has played a powerful role in educating the public, media, key opinion leaders, and other stakeholders about New Jersey’s historic role as a global hub of innovation and medical advances. By reinforcing our state’s reputation as the “Medicine Chest of the World” and amplifying this message through a series of op-eds in New Jersey media outlets, HINJ has further elevated awareness of the state’s leadership in science, advanced manufacturing, and its broader innovation economy.
These efforts exemplify true STEM advocacy — not only celebrating innovation, but ensuring that policymakers, communities, and the public understand why STEM remains vital to New Jersey’s future.
