This new publication builds on the success of Stockton Now, our former digital magazine, and expands that storytelling in a new way. More stories. More voices. More of the Stockton you know and love. We listened to our community and are proud to share a magazine that reflects what so many of you asked for: a full and thoughtful look at the people, places and progress that make Stockton such a special part of New Jersey.

This digital edition is designed to complement the printed magazine and offer another way to experience these stories. Missed the first printed issue? Make sure you update your contact information with us to receive future editions.

Whether you are a proud graduate, a lifelong supporter or just discovering our community, this magazine offers a meaningful introduction to one of the top 100 public universities in the nation, as recognized by U.S. News & World Report. Stockton is a place where opportunity and care go hand in hand. A place that honors its roots and embraces new ideas.

Inside, you’ll find stories that celebrate who we are and where we are going. Check in with alumni like Ryan Dever ’17, who is a decade into a golf career he never planned for. Read about Stockton’s impact on coastal research. And, I’m proud to share my vision for the University and how our new Strategic Plan will bring it to life.

We hope you enjoy reading this first issue as much as we enjoyed creating it. May these stories help you stay connected and inspired to share your own Stockton moments. We’re grateful you are part of our story.

Soar Higher. Go Ospreys!

Dr. Joe Bertolino
President, Stockton University
