I am so grateful for my Stockton experience that really helped shape most of the successes I’ve had in life, from the friendships made to career opportunities. That is why I’ve chosen to include Stockton as a part of my estate planning and to leave something behind to our university that has done so much for us. We use the expression ‘Osprey For Life’, but by including Stockton in your planned giving, you remain an ‘Osprey Forever.'

I included Stockton in my will because I feel passionate about education and the education I received at Stockton. By incorporating the University in my will I leave a legacy of learning and self improvement for the next generation of Ospreys.
