Stockton Institute for Lifelong Learning
SCOSA's Stockton Institute for Lifelong Learning (SILL) brings the best of Stockton's faculty to the community via short-courses (generally four 1-hour sessions) related to their teaching, scholarship, service, and interests. Space is limited, tuition is reasonable (free to Atlantic County residents who are 60 and older), and we hope to continually expand this programming that let you learn from and interact with Stockton’s accomplished faculty. For further information please contact Gina.Maguire@stockton.edu or Director Christine.Ferri@stockton.edu or call Fionna 609-626-3591 and leave a message.
Current SILL Programs:
During the fall semester, we have planned an expanded list of offerings on Zoom and
at our Galloway, Hammonton, and Atlantic City campuses. Each course meets once a week
for 4 weeks. Tuition for each four-session SILL course is $45 (unless otherwise notified). Courses
are FREE for residents 60 years old or older, who live in Atlantic County.
Upcoming SILL Courses:
Wednesdays, November 6, 13, & 20, 2024 (3 - 4 p.m.)

Dr. Anthony Dissen, Professor of Health Science
Stories of health, stories of overcoming illness, and stories of managing illness
or disease are some of the most powerful and precious stories that we weave. Narrative-Based
Medicine uses story us to make sense of our experiences with illness. This series
will introduce you to the core concepts of narrative-based medicine and allow you
to craft your own health stories.
