Ospreys are landing on campus for New Student Orientation. What is your best advice for making the most of your Stockton experience?
Graduated in 1985, really enjoyed my time at Stockton!
Simply...enjoy it. You'll get so caught up in the day to day and hard work. Then you will suddenly look back and decades will have passed. Stockton is special and I treasure my time spent there. '96
Use the math and writing labs!
Keep an open mind. Have fun but work hard. Be involved in what interests you the most. A great place to learn and make life long friends. I am jealous:)
If you get bored with a class, remember every course of study you take at Stockton is there because a whole lot of people all over the world found that particular topic/body of knowledge so interesting that they devoted their careers to it, in many cases. For example, the professors and instructors who teach the course at Stockton. Find out from them why they think their course is worth teaching. I did that when I attended Stockton and it helped me get more out of some of my classes that I wasn’t, initially, that stoked about taking. Since I left Stockton, I’ve used that strategy to learn about all kinds of new things and it has helped me in my career and life in general.
Get involved, build a network and get out of your comfort zone
Get out meet people, ask questions, and utilize the staff. They are an amazing resource and are always ready to sit down and help you set realistic career paths for your goals. Remember they have been there and are best suited to tell you paths to get there!
Take it all in ! Enjoy it , you made the right choice!

2yMake sure you have a beautiful balance between your academics and extra curricular activities! This balance led me to graduation as well as to life long friendships. Not to mention I met my husband while I was here!
