Founded in 1969, Stockton University consistently ranks among the nation’s finest educational institutions and among the top 100 public institutions in the U.S.

I'm proud to be the sixth president of Stockton. I'm excited to build upon the great foundation that has been laid here and continue the work of our dedicated faculty, staff, students, alumni and community members.

The 2023 Annual Report highlights just a few of the great things our Ospreys have done in support of our Strategic Plan 2025: Choosing Our Path from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2023. This includes the opening of our new Multicultural Center, a place that has already cemented itself as a hub of activity, connection, inclusion and cultural expression. We've also opened our newest residential building in Atlantic City, bringing our student community there to nearly 1,000. And our faculty, staff, and community partners developed the Live, Work, Learn program, connecting students with paid employment at casinos, hotels and other community employers, summer housing and credits toward degree completion.

The Stockton community continues to celebrate and support inclusive student success, diversity and inclusion, excellence in teaching and learning, scholarly activities, athletics, the arts and more. I invite you to learn more about how Stockton is delivering on its mission and how you can be involved.

Stay connected with me and all we’ll be doing together! Follow me on Facebook, Instagram and X. And be sure to stop in and say hello when you’re on campus. I can’t wait to see you.

Joe Bertolino, Ed.D.
President
Stockton University
