WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Daylong Event Immerses High Schoolers in the Coast

Atlantic City High School science teacher Emily Loeb likes to  her classes to ������Ƶ's annual Coast Day because it can be tough to make her classroom interactive every day.

"To have hands-on experiences like Coast Day makes the learning experience fun for my high school students,” said the 2023 ������Ƶ graduate.

The annual event returned on Friday, Oct. 18 at the Fannie Lou Hamer Event Room at the university’s Atlantic City campus. The annual event brought the community together to celebrate coastal culture, beach activities and environmental sustainability.  

“With the floating idea outreach and the focus on K-12 schools,” said Susanne Moskalski, coordinator of the event and associate professor of Marine Science, “students have the chance to interact with tons of exhibitors.” 

This engagement inspires high school students, like John Guzman-Herrera, to consider majoring in Marine Science, and allows them to explore aspects of the coast that are not visible in their own backyards.

������Ƶ Rallies with Late Goals for 2-1 Victory

The men’s soccer team scored two late goals to rally for a key 2-1 conference victory on Oct. 23 at Rutgers-Newark. The win lifted the Ospreys into a tie for fourth place with two league games to go.

Carbone netted his fourth marker of the season with 15:31 remaining to pull the Ospreys into a 1-1 tie. Only 4:09 later, Louisius struck for his team-leading seventh goal of the year to give ������Ƶ its first lead of the game with 11:22 remaining. Antonio Matos assisted on the game-winner. Read more game coverage .

OSPREY NOTES

SUPD Participates in Shooting Competition

Two members of the ������Ƶ Police Department Pistol Team, Sgt. Shane Suthard and Ofc. Pablo Flores, participated in the 1st Annual Gary H. Jones Jr. Memorial Shooting Competition on Oct. 18 at the Atlantic County Firing Range.

Chief Tracy Stuart shared there was a solid turnout from Atlantic County police departments and the Federal Air Marshalls testing their skills and paying tribute to retired Captain Gary Jones of Galloway Township Police Department, and his commitment to firearms proficiency, tactical training, the profession and the law enforcement community. After the event, there was a brief dedication ceremony for the recently erected "Jones Retreat" pavilion on Range C, a thoughtful gift from the Jones family in Gary's honor. 

"I would like to thank all members of our agency for supporting and encouraging our participation in this important event. A special thanks goes out to our pistol team, especially Sgt. Suthard and Ofc. Flores, for today's participation," Stuart said. "They did a great job representing our department. I look forward to future opportunities for the pistol team."
