Continue to carry on the leadership and vision of Stockton and Dr. Bjork as a leading institution of education in NJ and the U.S. As a long time Osprey I attended classes, known then as Stockton State College, in rooms that were just being completed in “A” & “B” wings with other sections of campus under construction. At least one class was held in what was then the “A” Wing Pub. Now today’s students are experiencing the vision of all those former Stockton Presidents. Stockton will continue on its growth path with your input and direction. I look forward to seeing what you add toward the expanding growth of Stockton University.

This is a special place to many, and especially to individuals like myself who received our first generation college education at Stockton. The education opportunity fund (EOF) at Stockton was second to none in the state, and instill the rich history of a college that not only educate student, but prepare us to complete confidently on the world stage. As you officially begin your tenure, know that you are prayed for and supported as you build upon the rich history and legacy of Stockton University, better known to many as Richard Stockton College of NJ. Congratulations and Go Ospreys.
