Program Gives High School Students In-Person STEM Lab Time

The COVID-19 pandemic robbed many high school students of the chanceto do hands-on science experiments.

But the Army Education Outreach Program (AEOP) at Stockton filled that void for three local students as they worked closely with university professors this summer — and got paid to do it.

Tasmia Haque and Sadia Rahman, rising seniors at Egg Harbor Township High School, and Noor Elmasri, a rising senior at Atlantic City High School, were selected for the program, which provides research opportunities for underrepresented students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) fields.

New Wordmark System Announced

University Relations and Marketing is introducing a new wordmark system for the University.

The new wordmarks will eliminate inconsistencies while offering a third tier of branding that will provide the ability for schools and departments to represent specific programs as well as relationships with institutes and centers.

The hierarchal organization will expand functionality of the system by introducing a third tier of branding, pairing schools, programs and institutes.

• Primary Logo – the Stockton University official wordmark

• Tier 2 – Individual school, division, department or office

• Tier 3 – Center, institute, or department within a school or division

Making these minor changes streamlines the design process by consolidating options and eliminates inconsistencies by keeping the tree icon in all wordmarks. Further, the use of a horizontal logo and the centering of type offers greater design consistency across multiple naming conventions.

The new wordmarks are currently being introduced and the changes will take effect on Sept. 1. Departments will not have to replace existing stock. Learn more here.
