During my junior year, I had the opportunity to use the forest on Stockton's campus as a living classroom. Stockton University is the first public land in the New Jersey Pinelands to have a comprehensive forest management plan, and I was one of the lucky few who played a role in its inception."

As a student, I was involved in the mapping of the Robert J. Walker through the New Jersey Benthic Studies class taught by Dr. Peter Straub (now Dean Peter Straub). I was one of three students on the project, and was able to get amazing experience working with ROV and multibeam. The experience I have in that class made me fall in love with research. I even got the opportunity to present the research for NOAA and the Explorers club." Read Chelsea's Whole Story
I'm pursuing a Physics Ph.D. at Purdue University. It is funny to meet students from other institutions and learn that they were never prepared on how to give a talk, how to participate in research, or how to pursue their interests beyond a set list of courses. While I have much to learn, Stockton has greatly helped me know how to present, how to write, and introduced me to the many topics I've grown to love." Read Jared's Whole Story
The program was excellent and provided me with the foundational knowledge needed to pursue my Master's degree in forestry at Yale University. I would especially recommend the program to any motivated individuals interested in earning a degree to enhance their career and/or individuals seeking a higher education degree."

Dr. Chirenje's courses, Remediation & Biotechnology, Environmental Pollution & Regulation and Environmental Issues were challenging and provided the foundation for my knowledge of soil contamination." Read Jessica's Whole Story
