WHAT WE鈥橰E TALKING ABOUT
Live Work Learn Program Boost Students' Careers
One alarming statistic drives Amiesa Paasewe鈥檚 desire to work in a medical profession: Black women in the United States are nearly three times more likely to die during pregnancy or delivery than any other race.
鈥淚 want to advocate for not just Black women, but people of color and people in general who can鈥檛 speak up,鈥 said the Health Science major from Trenton. 鈥淚 just want to be an advocate for people in need, especially women. I want to be there to support mothers because a lot of mothers don鈥檛 get that support.鈥
The 新澳门六合彩投注 Atlantic City Summer Experience: Live Work Learn program has given the junior the to help fulfill her dream. She鈥檚 one of 256 新澳门六合彩投注 students in the program this summer, who have been hired by local companies, provided campus housing at 新澳门六合彩投注 Atlantic City and offered free online training to prepare for success in the workplace. Now in its third summer, the program has grown from the 130 students who participated two years ago.
This year, 18 employers 鈥 including casinos such as Bally鈥檚 Atlantic City and Ocean Casino Resort and nonprofits such as Mighty Writers and the Chelsea Economic Development Corporation 鈥 have partnered with 新澳门六合彩投注 in the program.

Four University-Produced Video Projects Win Telly Awards
Four video projects created by 新澳门六合彩投注鈥檚 Production Services and University Relations and Marketing departments were at the 45th annual Telly Awards. The department received three silver awards and a bronze award.
鈥淚t鈥檚 always a wonderful honor to receive these awards,鈥 said Mark Jackson, director of Production Services. 鈥淭he 鈥楿ndercover Osprey鈥 video was an especially fun project with a talented cast.鈥
The 鈥淯ndercover Osprey鈥 video was launched at the April 12 inauguration of new 新澳门六合彩投注 President Joe Bertolino. In the video, President Joe is put in the shoes of a 新澳门六合彩投注 student to give him a different perspective of the institution he has been tasked to lead. Under the guise of Preston Joseph, the new president got a new ID card, sampled campus cuisine and found a campus activity that spoke to him.
鈥淧resident Joe wanted a nontraditional inauguration ceremony with a different twist on all the pomp and circumstance,鈥 said Geoffrey Pettifer, associate vice president for University Relations and Marketing. 鈥淎nd we thought this take on the popular TV show 鈥楿ndercover Boss鈥 was a fun and creative way to introduce him to the 新澳门六合彩投注 community.鈥

STOCKTON UNIVERSITY ATLANTIC CITY
Camp Jumpstarts Future Business, Entrepreneurial Careers
鈥淪o, who in here currently owns a stock?鈥
Only a couple of hands were hesitantly raised in the lecture room on the 新澳门六合彩投注 University Atlantic City campus among the group of 25 rising high school juniors and seniors.
Presenter Dylan Gutowski listened closely to the students鈥 answers 鈥 鈥淚 think I have stock in Starbucks!鈥 and 鈥淚鈥檓 not sure what it鈥檚 called.鈥 Soon, the quiet room filled with cheering and clapping as students played a virtual stock exchange game that simulated the high stakes and fast pace of trading in the stock market.
When the students from across New Jersey weren鈥檛 diversifying their stock portfolios, they were exploring the campus, the fundamentals of business and entrepreneurship from local business leaders, and participating in a business plan competition through the weeklong Summer Entrepreneurship and Business Academy (SEBA).
It was through SEBA that Gutowski of Rockland, New York, developed entrepreneurial savvy and relationship-building skills that landed him an internship with the camp just a year after winning the business plan competition.
The 16-year-old spread awareness of the academy at high schools throughout the state and spent the week supporting students in the business plan competition and sharing his own experiences.
鈥淚t's really cool to be able to help these students and kind of give back to a program that gave so much to me,鈥 Gutowski said. 鈥淚t's also a really diverse group; like, some people are building websites for their plans, and others are designing logos, or they're doing heavy research. There are so many different talents here, and a (successful) business needs the things that each person brings to the table. (SEBA) is a really cool team-building experience where you get to focus on using your talents for the bigger picture.鈥

SPOTLIGHT ON: HEATHER MEDINA
Named 2024 Nuestro Pueblo Education Award Honoree
Heather Medina, director of Admissions at 新澳门六合彩投注, was named the Education Award Honoree for the 2024 Nuestro Pueblo Awards, hosted by the Hispanic Association of Atlantic County. This category is awarded to an individual at any level in the Atlantic County education system who has made a significant contribution to our community through their skills, leadership, or advocacy on educational issues. Honorees were celebrated at an award ceremony on July 18 at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Atlantic City.
Medina said she felt both honored and humbled to be among 10 other hard-working professionals whose community involvement advances the Latino culture and heritage.
"An award like this is significant because it acknowledges the impact of individuals and organizations in advancing Latino culture and heritage. It serves as validation of the meaningful contributions made within the community, highlighting dedication and commitment," Medina shared. "For me and 新澳门六合彩投注, receiving such recognition affirms our efforts in promoting diversity, inclusivity, and cultural awareness within the institution. It also enhances visibility and credibility, fostering further support for initiatives in 新澳门六合彩投注 striving to be a Hispanic serving institution."
Medina, who has been part of the 新澳门六合彩投注 community for over 25 years, offered a piece of advice that always inspired her: "There is a Spanish saying my mother always proclaimed 隆Pa'lante, Siempre Pa'lante No Patras! Always forward, never backward! For me, these words represent perseverance and determination, reminding me to always move forward despite challenges or setbacks. It's a great mantra for staying focused on goals and not letting obstacles deter you from fulfilling a greater purpose."
