N.J. State Human Resources
Executive Comes to CUNY
The University’s newly-appointed Director
of Human Resource Services Arthur E. Brown, Jr. assumed
his duties early in May. Succeeding Samuel Phillips, who retired,
Brown will be responsible for guiding CUNY recruitment, testing,

implementing a new CUNY Human Resource Information System. Brown
is the holder of a B.A. in English and psychology and a Master’s
in business administration from Rider University.
