Stockton Forms Alumni Council on Engagement

Stockton announced the creation of the Alumni Council on Engagement, which will work to strengthen relationships with current and future alumni as lifelong partners of Stockton, its mission and traditions.

“We see the council as a key driver to enhancing alumni engagement at Stockton, which is one of the university’s top priorities,” said Sara Faurot, director of Alumni Relations. “And in turn, our hope is that this level of engagement will inspire a tradition of lifelong loyalty.”

The council will work in partnership with University Advancement to build a strong community of alumni through rewarding volunteer opportunities, strategic communications, philanthropic efforts, new initiatives, and a variety of annual events. Members will also make recommendations and support University staff to deliver a meaningful, lasting alumni experience.
