Earlier this year, Matt Plumeri finished up his service in the Marine Corps and enrolled at Marist to study psychology and criminal justice, but the partner with whom he worked for years searching out dangerous explosives, including a seven-month deployment in Afghanistan, remains with the Marines at Camp Pendleton, Calif.

Marist College held its No. 9 spot for the second year in a row on U.S. News & World Report’s latest rankings of the “Best Regional Universities” in the Northern United States, one of the most influential lists of top American colleges and universities.

Marist College is the recipient of the 2014 ACUTA award for Institutional Excellence in Information Technology in its Medium Size Institution category for the College’s “TelePresence Initiative.” ACUTA is the Association for College and University Technology Advancement. The IEA award was earned for the unique way Marist has leveraged the immersive capability of telepresence technology to enhance academic learning and research initiatives in support of the College’s mission. This initiative enables participants to interact with each other as they would if they were in the same room. The technology, which becomes transparent, allows collaboration with business and research partners, transcending geographical and time differences while saving time and money.
