WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
Exhibit Tells Story of Women's Suffrage Movement
An exhibit that tells the story of the long battle women fought to get the right to vote is on display at Stockton
University’s Campus Center in Galloway Township and the John F. Scarpa Academic Center
in Atlantic City.
The pop-up exhibit, “Rightfully Hers,” produced by the National Archives, celebrates the 100th anniversary of the 19th Amendment. It will remain on display through Election Day in November.
Professor of Political Science Linda Wharton, who helped bring the exhibit to Stockton, said it is noteworthy to remember that the fight for the right to vote was not easy and took decades of advocacy.
📰 The Press of Atlantic City featured the story.
Wharton was also featured in this week’s #StocktonVoices Facebook post.
Gormley Gift Supports Music for A.C. Children 
Students in Atlantic City will have the opportunity to get private music lessons thanks to a generous gift to Stockton University from Bill and Ginny Gormley that will help invigorate music programs for Atlantic City children and the community.
The $25,000 gift will allow music instructors from Stockton and musicians from the Bay-Atlantic Symphony to provide private lessons to students at Sovereign Avenue School in Atlantic City and expand the program to Our Lady Star of the Sea School and the Boys and Girls Club of Atlantic City.

SPOTLIGHT ON: SUMMER INTERNSHIPS
The COVID-19 pandemic cancelled many summer internships. But some students were able to convert their internships online. And while it may not have been the internship experience they had anticipated, for some it offered new learning opportunities and valuable experience as they prepare for careers.
Here’s how a few Stockton students spent their summer.
