"In Zikra’s eyes, being first-generation means not only finding mentors but also becoming one yourself. 'Being first gen means being a leader: someone who takes that first step towards something greater... I am now a mentor in [the GOALS/GEAR UP] program, helping students get ready for college... After graduating from Stockton, I look forward to finding ways to advocate for marginalized, underserved and misunderstood communities. Everyone has a story – some full of happiness but others full of pain – and I want to be in a position where I can help them through their journey of self-discovery like my mentors did for me.'"

Our new Archaeology Minor featured in Press of AC: "Stockton archaeology students choose a focus — general archaeology, classics, geoarchaeology or zooarchaeology. Studies can lead to jobs in research science, protecting or preserving heritage sites or museum curation... Dr. Hornbeck said archaeology has [historically ignored] Indigenous voices and perspectives in favor of Western science. She wants to use her skills to contribute to the decolonization of those histories. 'The discipline is undergoing a radical transformation,' she said. 'Many archaeologists and Indigenous tribal communities today are collaborating to uncover the truth about the past. There is still a great deal of work to do, but the discipline has been trying to make equitable and respectful research a priority.' The new minor provides students with opportunities to do hands-on research.

Stockton University has introduced a new minor in archaeology. Students must choose a focus — general archaeology, classics, geoarchaeology or zooarchaeology.
