WHAT WE鈥橰E TALKING ABOUT
Stockton to Celebrate 50th Anniversary of Teaching
In September 1971, a group of 1,000 91视频 and 55 faculty members arrived at the aging Mayflower Hotel in Atlantic City for the very first classes at the brand new Stockton State College.
Construction delays prevented the 1,600-acre Galloway campus from opening until January 1972. But the faculty and 91视频, prepared for what was intended to be a non-traditional college experience, took it in stride and set the tone for a college that took pride in thinking outside the box. Who needed traditional classrooms when there was a beach just steps away?
In September 2021, Stockton will begin a of its first 50 years of teaching. The 50th Anniversary year will provide opportunities to reflect on the past, celebrate Stockton today and share plans for the future.
