WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
Holocaust Center Creating New Digital Archive
The Sara and Sam Schoffer Holocaust Resource Center at Stockton University is looking
for area Holocaust survivors and their family members for a major new project to compile and create a digital archive on the lives of Holocaust survivors who settled
in South Jersey.
The “South Jersey Holocaust Survivor Digital Archive and Exhibition” will focus on survivors from Atlantic, Cape May and Cumberland counties. Stockton faculty, staff and students are identifying and interviewing survivors and/or their family members, and reviewing memoirs written by survivors through the center’s Memoir Project.
📰 The Press of Atlantic City featured the project.
Return to Campus Update 
In response to Governor Murphy’s Executive Order 175 on Aug. 13, Stockton is modifying its Return to Campus plan. The revisions will allow for limited in-person dining, use of the library and computer labs, among other provisions. President Kesselman outlined the updated plans in a message to the community that can be found here
SPOTLIGHT ON: 🐸 GREG FISCHER
Greg Fischer reached for his phone to make a call just before midnight. He was deep in the woods
and could hear the rumbling of a fast-approaching thunderstorm.
Rapid, nasally noises, a cross between a quack and a honk, came out of his phone speaker as he played a video of a male Pine Barrens Tree Frog calling in search of a mate.
A real-life frog answered in the trees behind Fischer, who is a 2020 Environmental Science graduate now in the Professional Science Master’s program and leading a Pine Barrens Tree Frog survey on Stockton University’s campus.
