WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Isaac Mizrahi, Tribute to Taylor Swift to Highlight PAC’s 49th Season

The 49th season of �鶹��ý��'s Performing Arts Center runs the gamut of theater; from dramatic and comedic plays to powerful tributes to artists both alive and lost, the PAC has something for everybody to enjoy.

Anjanette Christy, director of the PAC, looks forward to this season being a “joyful collision of the classic and the contemporary.”

“We’re bringing the world to our stage – from jazz and Broadway to acrobatics, opera and fresh new voices in dance and theater. We can’t wait to welcome audiences of all ages to experience a celebration of culture and community,” Christy said.

Tickets for all shows are on sale now at stockton.edu/pac with discounts for senior citizens, military, �鶹��ý�� alumni, faculty, staff and students, and children 17 and under. You can also call the �鶹��ý�� PAC box office at 609-652-9000.

�鶹��ý�� Circle K Club Honored with Top Awards

�鶹��ý��’s Circle K International chapter brought home several awards following their attendance at June’s Kiwanis International Convention (ICON) in Pittsburgh.

Circle K International is an international student organization that emphasizes the importance of service, leadership and fellowship.

�鶹��ý��’s chapter of nearly 200 students meets on Wednesdays throughout the academic year to complete local service projects and hosts a variety of projects in conjunction with �鶹��ý��’s Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service in January.

In addition to �鶹��ý��’s chapter being recognized for the Day of Service, successful recruitment efforts and excelling in service and leadership development, individual students were honored for their contributions to the chapter.

“�鶹��ý�� Circle K shines as a beacon of service — dedicated volunteers who pour their hearts into uplifting our campus family and the broader community, creating lasting change in the lives of our students and neighbors alike,” said the club’s advisor, Brian Pluchino, director of Residential Operations, Facilities and Retention. “I couldn’t be prouder of all they do to make �鶹��ý�� a kinder, stronger place for everyone, and these tremendous recognitions serve as proof of the kind of student leaders they are.”

FROM THE SIDELINES

Chelucci Elevated to Head Women’s Golf Coach

�鶹��ý�� has Bruce Chelucci to head women's golf coach after two years as an assistant coach for the Ospreys. Chelucci is switching roles with Rodger Gottlieb, who has elected to take a step back and become the assistant coach following seven years as the program's initial head coach.

Chelucci takes over a �鶹��ý�� team that will play in the newly formed Colonial Women's Golf Conference this fall. The Ospreys will be one of seven founding members vying for the conference title in the inaugural CWGC Championship at Wyncote Golf Club in Oxford, Pennsylvania on Oct. 26-28.

Silverstein Retires as �鶹��ý�� Women’s Tennis Coach

�鶹��ý��’s head women's tennis coach Harry Silverstein after 11 years leading the Osprey program and more than 40 years as a tennis coach overall. Silverstein, just the second coach in the 24-year history of �鶹��ý�� Women's Tennis, compiled a record of 97-50 (.660 winning percentage).

"I am happy to end my career at �鶹��ý�� after working under three athletic directors. It was a great run," Silverstein said. His teams finished with a winning record in every one of his 11 seasons and reached double figures in victories four times, highlighted by a 12-win campaign in 2022-23.
