PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED TURNS 30
When people turn 30, they’re thought of as young, but when business-
es reach that age, they’re considered to be institutions. On Sunday,
June 2, hair and styling salon Public Image Limited invites the public to
celebrate three decades of serving customers at their Wayne location.
Their Look, Learn & Sample open house features a presentation on 30
years of hair, makeup and fashion, as staffers demonstrate and discuss
past and present trends. The event will include refreshments, product
samples and music; a raffle will be held for customers who purchased
tickets in the salon during May, and one lucky grand prize winner
will receive free haircuts for a year, with raffle proceeds going to the
Police Athletic League of Wayne. • 1055 Hamburg Turnpike,

WILLIAM PATERSON UNIVERSITY ONE
OF 20 TOP MUSIC BUSINESS SCHOOLS
For the second year in a row, Billboard Magazine has ranked William
Paterson University alongside Boston’s Berklee College of Music and
Detroit’s Institute of Music Education as one of the top 20 college
music business programs in the country. Its location near New York
City gives students access to executives of record labels, including
Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Music Group. The university
recently held a seminar, hosted by Steven Leeds, vice president of tal-
ent and industry affairs for SiriusXM Satellite Radio, to discuss the busi-
ness with women in music entertainment; last year, the 200th episode
of the podcast and weekly radio show “Music Biz 101 & More” aired.
JOE RICCITELLI, seen here, is a WPU alum and co-president of RCA
Records, a division of Sony
Entertainment.
MEET THE N.J.
JOURNALISM
HALL OF FAME’S
INAUGURAL
CLASS
Five of the most accomplished journalists in the annals of New Jersey
media history were honored recently at William Paterson University.
The New Jersey chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists, with
WPU’s chapter of the society, inducted columnist and author Jonathan
Alter of Montclair; New Yorker writer John McPhee of Princeton; and
author and columnist Anna Quindlen, a native of South Brunswick,
into the new N.J. JOURNALISM HALL OF FAME. Gabe Pressman, a
WNBC-TV correspondent who passed away in 2017, and Edith Shapiro,
an editor of the now-defunct Newark Evening News who died in
2010, were honored posthumously. “With our Hall of Fame at William
Paterson, we will honor journalists who got their start here and went on
to great careers elsewhere, or those who made their mark in the Garden
State,” said John Ensslin, president of the state chapter of the SPJ.
