Legislator-in-Residence
Legislator-in-Residence is designed to bring New Jersey lawmakers to Stockton programs to engage with the students and faculty and to share their experiences as legislators. By bringing their first-hand stories of the legislative process into the classroom, the legislators will provide additional insight to the subjects of the normal curriculum. At the same time legislators will benefit from engaging with students and faculty on the issues that affect their life in the academic community.
