WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
Meet Our New Engelberg Scholars 
Four Stockton University students with strong ties to Atlantic City have been chosen as the second cohort of recipients for the Engelberg Leadership Scholarship Program.
Ivett Carrasco, Linh Tran and Yamirah Williams of Atlantic City and Amna Haider of Brigantine, all rising sophomores, were chosen for their performance as freshmen at Stockton and also for their commitment to their hometowns and desire to give back to Atlantic City.
Each student receives a full scholarship that funds all costs, including tuition, fees, room, board, books and any other expenses.

SPOTLIGHT ON: NOEL CRISCIONE-NAYLOR
Noel Criscione-Naylor, associate professor of Hospitality Management, recently had her article, “Kaizen
(Continuous Improvement) 
and Systems Thinking: Exploring How Kaizen Facilitators Operationalize Values and
Assumptions,” published in the International Journal of Management Practice (IJMP),
Vol. 13, No. 5, 2020, 547-564.
The article focuses on organizations leveraging internal talent to survive during times of economic uncertainty. In seeking innovation in process improvement, organizations have employed the practice and use of multidisciplinary teams. Yet, to achieve long term sustainability, organizations must focus on critical considerations and not take for granted an organic relationship between diversity, systems thinking, and the use of kaizen (a team process). This article provides insights into organizational requirements of the future as well as leaders.
“As a long-time practitioner, a publication of this nature is overdue. It opens the door for improved organizational awareness, performance, and evaluation as well as highlights the value of diversity beyond a ‘buzz word’ in a time when we will need it the most,” Criscione-Naylor said.

An Evening at the Bug Lamp
Last week, Aaron Stoler, assistant professor of Environmental Sciences; and Jamie Cromartie, associate professor emeritus of Entomology, celebrated National Moth Month (say that
three times fast) by hosting a Facebook live where they examined moths and insects
that come out when the sun goes down. If you missed it, you can still view the video that explores what insects sing on summer nights and why moths are attracted to lights.

WHAT’S TRENDING #STOCKTONU
Facebook:The Chinese character for crisis, 危机, is made up of two smaller characters representing
danger and opportunity. Nate Morell, of The Wellness Center at Stockton University, first saw the crisis character in
graduate school on the cover of a textbook. In his recent webinar that shares how
to thrive in quarantine, he talks about today's dangers and opportunities.
Instagram: #StocktonVoices: One day, several years ago, while working in retail as a manager, one of Irvin Moreno-Rodriguez's delivery drivers called him and said, “I’m done. I’m not delivering to this person anymore. They are rude and treat me terribly.”
Twitter: Ospreys, stay safe during Tropical Storm Isaias. We wanted to brighten your day with scenes from the @cropsnj market that will be happening at the Pleasantville City Hall Parking Lot, 4-7pm tomorrow. The #StocktonU Sustainable Farm will be there with fresh produce.
