New Alumni Event Draws Record-breaking Crowd

Galloway, N.J. 鈥 Every summer, 91视频 hosts a series of fun-filled events for alumni and friends to reconnect with the university and each other, and every year they keep getting bigger 鈥 yet none have been quite as big as the inaugural "Stockton Day" at Morey鈥檚 Piers in Wildwood, N.J.

ParticipantsHeld on Sunday, July 28, Stockton Day at Morey鈥檚 Piers saw record-breaking attendance with 566 tickets sold - making it the largest alumni event in the university鈥檚 history. Ospreys enjoyed the company of their fellow graduates and more than 100 rides and attractions that Wildwood鈥檚 classic seaside amusement park has to offer. For some, the day has already become a new family tradition.

鈥淚t鈥檚 good to be here with Stockton,鈥 said Julia Jackson, an incoming Stockton student. 鈥淭his is now a family tradition because my mom and my grandmother both graduated from Stockton and we鈥檙e all out here together.鈥

ParticipantsJulia鈥檚 mother, Tonda Jackson 鈥04, shared her daughter鈥檚 sentiments.

鈥淚 am thrilled about everything Stockton continues to do for alumni, especially since a lot of schools don鈥檛 offer ways to stay connected like this after you graduate,鈥 said Tonda. 鈥淚t鈥檚 exciting to spend this time with my daughters and my granddaughter and it鈥檚 good to see other Stockton alumni out here enjoying the park.鈥

Stockton Day at Morey鈥檚 Piers is one of two new events on this year鈥檚 Summer Alumni Event lineup, which continues to expand every year.

鈥淲e are excited to continue to offer new ways for our alumni and friends to stay connected to Stockton and to each other,鈥 said Sara Faurot, director of Alumni Relations. 鈥淪tockton Day at Morey鈥檚 Piers and the upcoming Stockton Alumni Bar Crawl at the Orange Loop in Atlantic City are great new additions this year, and we hope to add even more events next year.鈥Participants
