Galloway, N.J. — Thanks to the tireless efforts of students, faculty and staff, Stockton University can boast of having over 200 ways for students to get involved on campus. These efforts were rewarded with more than 15 different awards during the annual Student Involvement Awards ceremony on Friday, April 19, in the Campus Center Event Room.  

Director of Student Development Jeff Wakemen mentioned that his office processed more than 1,700 student events this school year, including 195 tied to culturally themed celebrations. He added that there are 231 student-led organizations currently active on campus, of which 32 started this year.

“No matter what it is that you are doing, the most important thing you are doing is building a community,” Wakemen said. “We at Stockton need to create communities for the students to feel like this is their home and so that they feel like there are people here that care about them.”
