Osprey Testimonials
"There were many times I wanted to give up on my degrees. On myself. I didn't know how to reach out for help or where to even start. Stockton Cares has been a resource I have had the privilege of utilizing for the past two years. If it weren't for the support I received, I believe I may have quit my education."
I am grateful that my professor referred me to Stockton Cares when I was experiencing a crisis that disrupted my academic performance and home stability. The Cares office explained resources that I had no idea existed and made the remainder of my time as a Stockton Undergrad easier to achieve.
Stockton Cares has helped me get through very hard times at Stockton. Whether it was financial, mental or academic support they’ve been helpful the whole way!
Stockton Cares truly cares for the student’s wellbeing. Without them I would not have been able to complete my semester. If anyone needs assistance I would highly recommend going to them.
The staff had a very good balance of comforting me and being professional as they guided me through possible resources I can use at Stockton!
