Daily News | Stockton University names N.J. native as its new president
Stockton University has selected a New Jersey native who currently heads a state college in Connecticut as its next president.
“I am keenly aware of the challenges facing higher education — especially public regional institutions,” Bertolino said in a statement. “I can say with confidence that Stockton is facing those challenges head on and will continue to thrive.”Bertolino has said he is a strong proponent of social justice, which is rooted in his own background as an openly gay college administrator.
He said his commitment to social justice grew when he was vice president of enrollment management and student affairs at Queens College/City University of New York and worked with undocumented students,and they would come into his office and say, “‘I don’t know what to do now. I have no place to go.’ I think I became committed to them, committed to that work and committed to social justice in a larger context.
