STOCKTON, from?Page 1 class slots that are being offered to students this fall and represent a solid sampling for several Divisions within the college. Conran-folks is pleased about the progress of the new instructional site, as there are a diverse selection of courses, ranging from Worlds of Moby Dick to Statistics. “the 225 students, or so, that will be attending classes at Kramer Hall this fall is almost double of our enrollment from the spring semester. it is showing that students are quickly learning about the convenience of this site, as they begin to build their schedules. it should be noted that the majority of students that are taking classes at Stockton are full-time students, who are complimenting their existing schedules on main campus, with the course offerings available on the Hammonton and other offcampus sites. the professors interested in teaching at Stockton are growing, as well as the students’ interest in taking classes. those two statistics continue to increase,” Conran-folks said. as of right now, Conran-folks and the administration are managing the growth of Kramer Hall. the student and professor increase exceeded expectations for the fall semester, but the goal for the upcoming years is to continue progressing, but at a steady pace. there is still some work to be done in terms of the scheduling. “We are managing our growth and we are incrementally looking for operating this building in the capacity we have. We still haven’t had the traction of offering classes morning, afternoon and night, so i think phase two, from my perspective, will be to continue to work with the college deans and their assistants to post schedules that are utilizing Kramer Hall in the morning, afternoon and night. We are afternoon and evening top heavy right now,” Conran-folks said. Kramer Hall is a growing venue

for the town of Hammonton, non-profit groups and agencies for meetings, which is especially the case when students aren’t taking classes during certain time slots in the summer. that should continue to be the case during the fall and beyond. “We are able to offer the people of Hammonton space in our building, including non-profits, other agencies such as atlantiCare and others will be free to request space in Kramer Hall for their training seminars and workshops. it is a nice balance right now, with student activity in the afternoon and evenings, and we can balance that with allowing our community partners to use this space. it is working out nicely,” Conranfolks said. the set goal for student enrollment in the fall semester was 220 students. So far they have exceeded that goal with more than 225 students expected to attend classes during the opening semester of the 2013-2014 academic year. “there might be some wiggle room during that number during the drop-add period. Somebody might say ‘i thought i could swing that, but i can’t get to Hammonton in time o r my work schedule changed or i needed a class on main campus at the same time.’ it is common for a college to deal with this, but right now the numbers look strong and holding. We have met our goal and i am quite sure that my enthusiastic provost Harvey Kessleman will also welcome us doubling that number in the near future,” Conran-folks said. Conran-folks is excited about what is ahead for Kramer Hall and the Stockton community. the future remains bright, and the opportunity to promote the site and the town remain keys to attracting students, faculty and other community people. “With each new student is an opportunity to make a connection and to encourage
them to use the site in the future for the art gallery, to step out in the avenue and we are really excited to share, as i did in the chamber meeting and with our downtown partners that it is definitely a build it and they will come. they built it and they are coming to Hammonton and we look forward to encouraging our new students, faculty and other community partners that use our facility to step out of the avenue for their lunches or shopping that they may want to do. We are big in promoting the rest of the town as well,” she said.

MEETING, from?Page 3 trenton and it is assembled and packaged in egg Harbor township. it is a local water conservation device that was developed in 2009. it allows systems to operate more efficiently and it saves water all the time. “it saves on average a gallon of water in older style toilets and in the new, efficient toilet systems, it saves a half-a-gallon. it is very easy to install. My first invention came out in 1992, and then everything started changing. it was too complicating, though it worked, and i wanted something that was simpler to install. it was tested at Stevens institute of technology and the DeP certifies it,” fasola said. in addition to the water conservation presentation, sponsored by the Hammonton Green Committee, the Hammonton arts Center and Cortland Bellavance provided a display of 10 paintings that pertained to water at Kramer Hall.
