NJIT Alumni Association

High above the city with the Highlander community 🏙️

We hosted an alumni event in Boston at the stunning View Boston — and it did not disappoint. With incredible panoramic views of the city as our backdrop, NJIT alumni and friends gathered to reconnect and celebrate the strength of our Highlander network.

The energy in the room was amazing, and the turnout made this event even more special. Here’s to many more opportunities to bring our Boston Highlanders together!

Donna Peist (née Miller) ’09 and Jason Peist ’08 🎓

Donna and Jason met at the Albert Dorman Honors College freshman retreat in 2004. Both were architecture students and soon found themselves in studio together. 📚

They became friends quickly. By April 2005, they were dating — and stayed together throughout college. They married on October 12, 2013. 💍

Today they have two children — a 10-year-old daughter and a 6-year-old son — and a relationship that traces back to studio desks and freshman-year retreats. ♥️
