ACCS-Stockton Partnership Renewed: 8th Grade to Learn First Hand in Environmental Science Department
ACCS will continue its partnership with Stockton University Environmental Science Department during the 23-24 school year. Our 8th graders will once again be exposed to college life and see the opportunities they too can strive for in our local area. We anticipate our 8th graders will participate in a soil lab and a forest field experience activity. This partnership experience now in year two exposing future scientists to our local rich environment is truly exceptional. ACCS and Stockton University clearly see the importance of this type of educational outreach for our students. We hope for many more opportunities and collaborations with Stockton's other career focus and majors.
