WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT

Sign Up for Active Intruder Training

Active Intruder Training is available to all students, faculty and staff. �鶹��ý�� University Police runs the training sessions as classroom presentations or in office areas of departments and schools. The training sessions, which last up to two hours, include an active shooter video and a series of scenarios that focus on steps individuals should take in the event of an active intruder on campus. Takeaways include understanding the difference between “shelter in place” and “lockdown,” as well as the “RUN. HIDE. FIGHT” response during an active intruder situation.

“If you do��’t prepare ahead of time, panic sets in,” Interim Chief of Police Cindy Parker explained. “We do these realistic scenarios where we walk through the steps to take, so individuals know how to respond not just at �鶹��ý��, but anywhere an active intruder situation might unfold. We want members of our University community to be able think what they would do ahead of time, so they know what is expected.”

If you are interested in setting up a training session for your class or office, email Cynthia.Parker@stockton.edu to set up a date and time.

Atomic Force Microscope Provides Closer Look at Semiconductor Fabrication

�鶹��ý�� University researchers are developing semiconductors that require only sunlight and water to produce hydrogen as a renewable energy source.

But the materials that Assistant Professor of Chemistry Wooseok Ki (pictured far right) and his students are working with are invisible to the naked eye.

This obstacle was overcome with help from Jason Shulman, associate professor of Physics (pictured center), who employed �鶹��ý��’s new Atomic Force Microscope to get a closer look.

�鶹��ý�� Stories: Looking Back & Moving Forward

On April 18, Director of the South Jersey Culture History Center Thomas Kinsella, Professor Emeritus of Literature Ken Tompkins, and students in this spring’s 50th Anniversary Internship shared their progress and future goals for the �鶹��ý��’s 50th Anniversary Commemoration Project, entitled “�鶹��ý��'s Stories: Looking Back & Moving Forward.”

Kinsella and Tompkins, who are serving as co-chairs of the University-wide committee, had established the internship with the objective to share �鶹��ý��’s history with alumni, students and the general public.

Marissa Manzo, outreach intern, worked on developing questions for alumni and ways to get alumni stories. Laura Cranwell, archival research intern, digitized photos from Stockto��’s archive. Taylor Morelli, public relations intern, focused on developing the logo and content for social media. Asia Elzey, video editor intern, worked on converting dance performance footage into digital files. Sarah Galzerano, web content development intern, developed stories on aspects of �鶹��ý��`s history for the website. Courtney Stewart, graduate assistant intern, focused on �鶹��ý��`s history within the surrounding community.
