Marcus, Jonathan Scholarship

Jonathan Marcus graduated from Ramapo College with a bachelor’s degree in Law and Society in 1993. He then received a juris doctor degree from Seton Hall University School of Law in 1996. Mr. Marcus then went on to work as an attorney for Sills Cummis Radin & Gross and Weil Gotschal and Manges. He now works as assistant general counsel for KPMG, LLP. Mr. Marcus was honored by Ramapo College with the President’s Award of Merit at Ramapo College’s Commencement Ceremony in 2009.

Mr. Marcus decided to have the scholarship benefit Law and Society majors in good academic standing who have financial need, to mirror his own experience when he enrolled at Ramapo. The Tammy and Jonathan Marcus Scholarship is selected by the faculty.
