WHAT WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
Sign Up for Active Intruder Training
Active Intruder Training is available to all students, faculty and staff. Stockton 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 don’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 Stockton, 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.”
Atomic Force Microscope Provides Closer Look at Semiconductor Fabrication
Stockton 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 Stockton’s new Atomic Force Microscope to get a closer look.
Stockton 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

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