Natural Sciences and Mathematics
Subject: Welcome to Stockton University
On behalf of President Harvey Kesselman, Provost and Academic Vice President Leamor Kahanov and the
faculty, staff and students of Stockton University, I welcome you to our campus. We are excited to welcome you
back in person to the Jersey Shore Science Fair which is routinely one of the largest in the Delaware Valley region.
Science is defined by the Oxford Languages dictionary as “The intellectual and practical activity
encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behaviour of the physical and natural world
through observation and experiment.” As such, science is a method to collect observations and test ideas to
generate educated guesses (hypotheses) as to how things work. Experimental design, collection and
interpretation of data allow you to reach, and defend, an informed conclusion. Hand in hand with science is
technology or the “application of science for practical purposes” that strives to better our world. Recent history has
shown the critical importance of innovation and scientific solutions to help slow the COVID-19 pandemic through
rapid development, and thorough testing, of life-saving vaccines, monoclonal antibody treatments and anti-
virals. These advances would not have been possible without the basic science and technology research
investments, including in human capital, that we as a nation have been committed to. Each year I am amazed at
the level of insight and sophistication our JSSF participants bring to their science and technology projects. The
JSSF celebrates your scientific journey and looks forward to the advances that your future careers will gift to the
people of the world.
Enjoy your time today on campus and I would like to invite you back to visit the University more fully as you plan
for your future education. Stockton is a nationally ranked comprehensive University of Liberal Arts, Sciences and
Professions and a state-wide leader in STEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).
Stockton offers undergraduate degree programs in Biology, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Computer Science,
Environmental Science, Geology, Health Science, Marine Science, Mathematics, Nursing, Public Health, Physics
and Sustainability as well as dual degrees in engineering, pharmacy and medicine with our university partners
(Rutgers, Rowan and NJIT). On the graduate level, we offer Masters Degrees in: Communications Disorders, Data
Science and Strategic Analytics, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Environmental Science and Coastal Zone
Management. Doctoral degrees are offered in Physical Therapy, Educational Leadership and Nursing Practice.
The Stockton-Quad project, adjacent to the sports arena, has recently been expanded to provide new STEM and
Health Science buildings providing laboratories and state of the art simulation facilities. In addition, we also
support a campus farm, arboretum, pinelands research reserve and an active waterfront Marine Field Station with
a fleet of coastal oceanographic vessels.
Please feel free to contact the admissions office and also see our student life and undergraduate and graduate
programs on the web at www.stockton.edu.
Enjoy the day and congratulations on your accomplishments.Contents
