“Dr. Kesselman’s visionary prowess and collaborative nature has positioned Stockton University’s Atlantic City Campus to be an extraordinary Anchor Institution and a major economic driver for the region and the educational capital of southern New Jersey.”

Kesselman previously announced that he will retire on June 30, 2023. He is the 5th President in Stockton University history.
