     <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify;">Infosys, a leading provider of advanced digital services and consulting, has announced an expanded partnership with the University of Nottingham—ranked among the top 100 universities globally in the QS World University Rankings 2026, with campuses across the UK, Malaysia, and China. The renewed collaboration aims to enhance the performance, security, and compliance of the university’s essential Student Management System. <br />   <br />  Since beginning their partnership in 2017, Infosys has played a key role in transforming the university’s Student Information System. This transformation streamlined application workflows and strengthened compliance reporting, leading to a 70% drop in incidents, around a 30% improvement in system performance and availability, more than 35% reduction in infrastructure costs, and a significantly better user experience. <br />   <br />  Under the extended agreement, Infosys will continue to support and maintain NottinghamHub, the university’s Student Information System, while improving core processes throughout the student lifecycle. The initiative will also include infrastructure modernisation to boost system uptime and reinforce web security through Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). <br />   <br />  To drive these advancements, Infosys will utilise its proprietary platforms, including Infosys Cobalt for accelerating cloud adoption and Infosys Topaz Fabric—an AI-driven, multi-layered ecosystem designed to integrate infrastructure, data, applications, and workflows. These technologies will help streamline operations, unify systems, and enable data-led decision-making, supporting a digital-first environment for over 46,000 students and 12,000 staff worldwide. <br />   <br />  Chris Hunt, Chief Operating Officer at the University of Nottingham, stated that the strengthened partnership with Infosys will enhance the reliability, security, and innovation of the university’s digital ecosystem. He emphasised the importance of the Student Management System in supporting the entire student journey and noted that the collaboration will help elevate academic and operational standards. <br />   <br />  Jo Simpson, Chief Revenue Officer at the University of Nottingham, highlighted that the extended partnership will not only improve digital infrastructure but also create more impactful learning experiences. She noted that the collaboration aligns Infosys’ industry expertise with the university’s applied learning programmes, offering students valuable exposure to real-world skills in engineering and digital technology. <br />   <br />  Ashiss Kumar Dash, EVP and Global Head of Services at Infosys, expressed enthusiasm about strengthening the partnership. He noted that as universities face increasing complexity across global campuses and rising expectations from digitally native students, innovation is essential. He added that the collaboration, powered by Infosys Cobalt and Topaz Fabric, will help the University of Nottingham set new standards in leveraging technology to succeed in a rapidly evolving educational landscape.</div>

      <div style="text-align: justify;">What if the true heroes of our planet don’t wear capes but are instead students and scientists? You don’t need superpowers or mythical weapons to protect the Earth—sometimes, it’s about working to safeguard the environment and build a brighter future for all. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  We’re committed to empowering the next generation of Earth’s defenders by providing support to New Jersey students and funding university programs that are focused on a cleaner energy future. Together, we’re building a team dedicated to creating a sustainable future for the generations to come. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>Earth Heroes, assemble!</strong> <br />  <strong>Stevens Institute of Technology: The "Sustainability Sentinel"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Every superhero team needs a powerhouse, and in our mission for sustainability, Stevens Institute of Technology takes the lead as the "Sustainability Sentinel." Over the past 20 years, our partnership has secured over $4.8 million in funding, with a recent $1.45 million grant for the next three years (2024-2026). This grant supports several initiatives, including the Workforce Development Program, the Stevens Center on Sustainability (SCS), and various pre-college and undergraduate programs. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  Through scholarships, pre-college students from underrepresented areas of Hudson, Essex, and Union counties gain access to summer programs, internships, and mentorships—without financial barriers. These students receive mentorship and guidance to navigate college applications and prepare to become planet-saving leaders. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  The Workforce Development Program provides scholarships, mentorship, and opportunities for research in environmental justice. Additionally, the Stevens Center on Sustainability expands collaboration among researchers tackling the most urgent sustainability challenges. With support from the PSEG Foundation, these young minds have the tools, funding, and career paths to take real action toward a sustainable world. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>Montclair State University: The "EcoForce"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Montclair State University’s "EcoForce" is transforming students into sustainability champions through the Green Teams Internship Program. By partnering with corporations, nonprofits, and municipalities, these students address real-world environmental challenges while honing their sustainability knowledge and skills. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  Guided by experienced leaders, these students work both on campus and in the community, building valuable professional experience. After 10 weeks of hands-on projects, they present their work to a live audience, showcasing their impact in the fight for a sustainable future. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>Rutgers University Douglass College: The "STEM Warriors"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  At Rutgers University’s Douglass College, the Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) programs equip young women with the skills and support they need to thrive in STEM fields. These "STEM Warriors" participate in STEM conferences, career panels, and mentorship programs that prepare them for careers in science and technology. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  With backing from the PSEG Foundation, we’ve helped develop a mentorship program that pairs Douglass College students with experienced professionals, ensuring that these future STEM leaders are ready for any challenge. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>New Jersey Institute of Technology: The "Tech Titans of Tomorrow"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Our long-standing partnership with the New Jersey Institute of Technology has led to a five-year, $800,000 grant to broaden the reach of their Undergraduate Research and Innovation program. At the high school level, this grant enhances opportunities for Newark students pursuing STEM degrees through the NJIT-Newark Math Success Initiative. NJIT’s Center for Pre-College Programs introduces over 3,000 local students to STEM every year, helping young people explore careers in technology and engineering. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>Rowan University: The "Rising Innovators"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Rowan University’s RISE (Rowan’s Introduction for Students to Engineering) and SWEET (Society of Women Engineers – Engineers in Training) programs offer high school students hands-on engineering experiences. RISE introduces students to different engineering disciplines, while SWEET engages them in engineering-related activities led by professionals and faculty. Together, these programs help students explore their potential and develop skills that will help shape their future careers. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>Eastwick College: The "Terrific Team of Ten"&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Eastwick College brings together a group of students every year known as the "Terrific Team of Ten," providing scholarships and real-world experience in essential trades like plumbing, electrical work, and welding. These students are being prepared for careers that will help make the world a cleaner, greener place. Our support over the last three years, totaling $15,000 in scholarships, has helped these students hone their skills and make a positive impact on the environment. <br />  &nbsp; <br />  <strong>HBCU Empowerment&nbsp;</strong> <br />  Through a $1 million HBCU grant, we are also increasing diversity in STEM fields by supporting students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This initiative has opened doors for students from underrepresented communities, helping them gain the skills and education needed to address environmental challenges. <br />  &nbsp;</div>    <ul>  	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Hampton University</strong>: The PSEG STEM Scholars Program has provided scholarships to high school and college students from underserved areas in New Jersey.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Howard University</strong>: Scholarships at Howard University have supported students majoring in Environmental Studies, helping them gain the knowledge needed to protect the planet.</li>  	<li style="text-align: justify;"><strong>North Carolina A&amp;T</strong>: Scholarships at North Carolina A&amp;T have focused on supporting students enrolled in engineering, agriculture, and environmental sciences.&nbsp;</li>  </ul>    <div style="text-align: justify;">In a world where the need for a sustainable future is more pressing than ever, we are proud to invest in the next generation of real-life Earth heroes.</div>
