Atlantic City., NJ – “You Make the Difference: The Campaign for Stockton College” has exceeded its $20 million goal two years ahead of schedule.

Stockton College President Herman J. Saatkamp announced the comprehensive campaign had reached $20.4 million at Saturday’s 32nd Annual Stockton College Scholarship Gala at the Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa. The campaign supports all aspects of Stockton’s mission, programming, facilities, and especially student scholarships.

“The Gala is always a night to celebrate and this year we have an extra incentive to do so,” Dr. Saatkamp said. “Our community and our alumni responded in an overwhelmingly positive way to our first comprehensive campaign. The philanthropic support of Stockton and our students is real and tangible, helping deserving students receive quality education and attain their degrees.”

The campaign was announced last September during the kickoff to the College’s 40th Anniversary of Teaching. A goal was set to raise $20 million by June 30, 2014. However, through the generosity of the community and attainment of several major gifts, that number was recently eclipsed more than two years prior to the stated deadline.
