STOCKTON UNIVERSITY ATLANTIC CITY
Continuing Studies Program Does AC Through Walking Tours
Around 30 people braved a heat wave to embark on a tour through Atlantic City’s former “gayborhood,” now known as the Orange Loop, on Friday, July 22. Thanks to the occasional ocean breeze and some shadowed areas along the route, participants of the program, sponsored by Stockton’s Office of Continuing Studies, learned about Atlantic City’s cultural history.
Diana Strelczyk, assistant director of the Office of Continuing Studies, developed the walking tours in the summer of 2018 after seeing an article about Levi Fox, adjunct professor of General Studies and Atlantic City historian, leading tours of former casinos. Strelczyk thought a similar tour, but encompassing all of Atlantic City’s history, would be a lot of fun, and that led her to develop the program with Fox.

FROM THE SIDELINES
Track & Field And Cross Country Coaching Staffs Restructure
The Stockton cross country and track & field programs are restructuringtheir coaching staffs for the upcoming 2022-23 season. As a result of the realignment, three coaches will be assuming new roles, and three teams will have a different head coach.
Jayson Resch will remain director of Cross Country and Track & Field/Head Men's Track & Field Coach and add Head Women's Track & Field Coach to his duties. Nick McDonough will remain Head Women's Cross Country Coach and replace Resch as Head Men's Cross Country Coach. McDonough also will be an assistant coach for track & field.
Todd Curll is voluntarily stepping back as Head Women's Track & Field Coach, but he will remain on staff as an assistant track & field coach, primarily working with the pole vaulters. The moves streamline the coaching staff, with Resch the head coach for both track & field teams, McDonough the head coach for both cross country teams and Curll staying at Stockton as an assistant coach.
Assistant coaches Kevin Chandler (throws), Emily Higbee (javelin) and Mike Kotleski (hurdles) will remain in their current positions.
