Professor Jonathan Moschberger is extremely passionate about empowering his students to be active and effective participants in our political process. In addition to teaching the core content, he believes civic engagement is critically important. Professor Moschberger strives to deliver the best educational experience possible for his students. He is the recipient of several awards, numerous accolades, and a few significant achievements, but one that stands out is that he was the first community college professor to serve as president of the New Jersey Political Science Association. However, to him, having taught in higher education for over 25 years, nothing matters more than being in the classroom and aiming to make a positive difference in the educational experience of his students.

Adjunct Faculty

In addition to the full-time faculty, the Political Science Department employs a number of highly-qualified adjuncts to help meet student demand. Many of our adjunct faculty have served in positions of local, county, or state government including municipal leaders, civil servants, and elected officials. Students can feel confident that the Department’s adjunct faculty will provide them with the highest level of instruction and academic support.
