The Kellman program, a nine-month long course in the humanities for adults who are thinking about going to college, wrapped up its twelfth year. The course, which is named in memory of Bloomfield College professor Martin Kellman, invites adults in urban areas who may have opted out of college for family or economic reasons, to participate in gaining three college credits by learning US history, philosophy, writing, art history and literature. While some scholars choose to continue their education, some just enjoyed the process of learning and will continue on their own.

The graduating nurses in the class of 2013 received their pins the day before commencement to signify their entry into the honorable service of their chosen profession.

Thirty BSN candidates and three of the five RN to BSN candidates attended the ceremony in which each senior was pinned by the chair of the Frances M. McLaughlin Division of Nursing, Dr. Neddie Serra.

Construction has begun on a new 80,434 square foot, four story residence hall at the corner of Broad and Franklin Streets in Bloomfield Township. The expansion project will create sustainable space with dormitories and classrooms plus approximately 7,600 square feet of office/commercial/retail options at street level. Projected opening for the new building is September 2014 with the expectation of LEED silver certification.

It was THE event of the year with over 240 people attending from public servants to alumni, friends, administration, faculty and staff. On April 20, 2013, everyone converged on The Bethwood in Totowa, NJ to drink, dine, dance, enjoy a glamorous tricky tray, and honor three people who have made an impact on the Bloomfield College Community.
