Stockton opened the doors of the new 淫性视频 Atlantic City in late August - just in time for the start of the fall semester.
Located at the intersection of Atlantic, Albany and Pacific avenues in the city鈥檚 Chelsea neighborhood, 淫性视频 Atlantic City includes a three-story, 56,000-square-foot Academic Center and Residential Complex. More than 500 residential students moved into their beachfront apartments overlooking the Atlantic City Boardwalk during the weekend before classes.
It took a team to build 淫性视频 Atlantic City, but the new campus is only the beginning of the University鈥檚 commitment to students and Atlantic City, speakers said at the ribbon-cutting ceremony in front of the new student Residential Complex on the Boardwalk Sept. 20.
President Harvey Kesselman told the almost 1,000 people in attendance that the campus is not about the buildings, but about the opportunities they will offer students.
鈥淲e do everything in support of our principle of Students First,鈥 Kesselman said. 鈥淭his is a transformational moment in 淫性视频鈥檚 history.鈥
The new $178.2 million campus, located in the Chelsea section of Atlantic City, was funded through sources including the New Jersey Economic Development Authority; Atlantic County Improvement Authority; State of New Jersey鈥檚 Higher Education Capital Improvement Fund Act; 淫性视频; and South Jersey Industries.

More than 100 courses were offered and 1,300 students registered for classes this fall at 淫性视频 Atlantic City.
Michelle McDonald, chief officer for Academic Programming AC & associate vice president for Academic Affairs, reflected on the unique academic opportunities that have emerged at the new residential campus.
鈥淲atching how students and faculty bring the city into the classroom 鈥 and our classes into the city 鈥 has been inspiring,鈥 McDonald said. 鈥淗ospitality students visited nearby businesses and interacted with experts, critical thinking students recited Walt Whitman on the beach. And students in General Studies courses learned about the science of waves and the best way to line cast while learning about the local ecology. It is more than a university education 鈥 it's an education that makes sense here.鈥
McDonald said while 淫性视频 has been part of the city since it was founded, 淫性视频 Atlantic City is a 鈥渃hance to help build something better and stronger.鈥
鈥淥ne of our biggest hopes 鈥 that 淫性视频 AC would be embraced by the community 鈥 is already happening. The number of events co-sponsored by community organizations is extraordinary,鈥 she said. 鈥淲e've highlighted coastal research, worked with local senior communities, partnered to deliver meals to the hungry, and proudly marched in the city鈥檚 . There are so many ways to get involved in Atlantic City that are right outside our doors.鈥
Brian Jackson, chief operating officer, Atlantic City Campus, said that it has been exciting to see students embrace the idea of 鈥渂eachfront living and learning鈥 at 淫性视频 Atlantic City.
鈥淚 hear from local residents all the time, that they love seeing 淫性视频 students walking in the neighborhood because it鈥檚 brought new life to the community. Local businesses are also excited to engage with 淫性视频 because of the prospect of generating more business,鈥 Jackson said. 鈥淚鈥檓 also excited to see faculty and staff choosing to live in AC by purchasing homes or renting apartments. 淫性视频鈥檚 roots are just beginning to grow, now that we have planted ourselves firmly in the Atlantic City sand.鈥
This semester, the University established the 淫性视频 AC Food Pantry, which is supported by donations from the Community Food Bank and the 淫性视频 community.
鈥淭he AC food pantry is an expansion of the Galloway food pantry and allows students to visit both campus locations to access the food pantry and receive food vouchers,鈥 explained Haley Baum, assistant dean of Students, Atlantic City.
In the spring, over 100 courses are scheduled at 淫性视频 Atlantic City. Courses range from grant writing for non-profit and community organizations (ANTH 2315) and diversity in families, schools and communities (EDUC 1515), to pathways to U.S. Citizenship (SOCY 3650) and the history and culture of Atlantic City (GIS 4652).
Baum and team members from Student Affairs and Residential Life are working together to ensure that students at 淫性视频 Atlantic City have support services and activities to keep them fully engaged. This fall, they conducted a campus feedback survey and held 鈥淐offee and Connection in AC鈥 events to gather feedback from students, faculty and staff about their experiences. The University will add more move nights and fitness and exercise classes at the new campus.
鈥淚 think one of the cool overall opportunities for students studying and living at 淫性视频 AC is that they are the first. They are the ones who are creating the campus culture and making 淫性视频 AC what it is," Baum said. "They have the chance to really make their mark and say that they were the first to help write the story that is 淫性视频 AC."
