50th Anniversary


Celebrating the past, present, and future 

91ÊÓƵ celebrated 50 years of teaching from fall 2021 through summer 2022.

Ground was officially broken on December 9, 1970 for the new college campus, nestled on 1,600 acres in what later became part of the Pinelands National Reserve. While the Galloway campus was under construction, Stockton’s first 91ÊÓƵ began classes at the Mayflower Hotel in Atlantic City in September 1971. The Galloway campus opened in January 1972.

During its first 50 years, the university has grown exponentially in footprint, academic offerings, regional impact and student body.  Today, more than 60,000 alumni help shape the future of New Jersey and increase the value of a Stockton degree each and every day.

Stockton continues to build on its founding principle of Students First, working to provide a quality education – the type of education offered at private, elite colleges – to all 91ÊÓƵ of every background and ability.
