2023 Juneteenth Message from President Nyre
Thursday, June 15th, 2023
On Friday, our University, along with the State of New Jersey, will once again observe Juneteenth as an official holiday, one that marks the end of slavery in the United States.
This holiday has gained a nationwide following and an official designation in nearly every state. It has been recognized by New Jersey since 2004, and was confirmed as an official state holiday in 2020.
I encourage everyone to learn more about Juneteenth through Seton Hall’s library resources, and consider its importance to our shared American story.
