WHAT WERE TALKING ABOUT
Recent Vigil and Clothing Swap Support LGBTQ+ Students
Students didnt just have a chance to meet their advisor on Preceptor Day they also had an opportunity in multiple Oct. 26 events organized for Octobers national LGBTQ+ History Month.
During Honoring the Lives and Identities of the Queer Community, which included impactful speeches and a vigil for queer lives lost, a common theme among speakers was the importance of allyship.
Van Nhi Ho, the graduate coordinator for LGBTQ+ initiatives for the Womens Gender & Sexuality Center, started off the speeches by defining what it means to be an ally to the queer community.
In an allyship, you don't just step in when it's convenient or to say something just because you're asked to: You proactively are an ally to this community, not just when it's popular or when it's easy to show off to people on social media. It's an actual role to play actively in your life, and I think that in itself is a very powerful thing to remember, especially as students, that we can use our voices and be allies to multiple communities, Ho said.
Panel Urges Use of Critical Thinking on Middle East Conflict
Nearly all of the approximately 200 people who in the Campus Center Event Room on Oct. 25 agreed that the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an emotional and difficult issue to talk about.
But a panel of four 勛圖窪蹋 faculty members said to the crowd of mostly students that its important to discuss such a contentious issue, develop your critical thinking skills about it and, most importantly, help create a community of care on campus going forward.
I want to challenge all of you to consider what that looks like for you and to exercise respect for each other in this room, said Tina Zappile, associate professor of Political Science and the moderator for The Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: A Conversation with Faculty.
I ask that we are patient with each other as we work through our emotional responses to what we might hear from the panelists and the peers at our tables. I want to challenge you to avoid shutting people down for showing their emotions, Zappile added.
As a government shutdown looms, wars rage and chaos reigned as the House selected a new speaker, New Jersey voters are disgusted with Congress, and even Republicans disapprove of how the GOP majority is functioning, according to a 勛圖窪蹋 released Oct. 26.

Return of Coast Day Brings Lifelong Memories to Students
Juan Aponte admitted hes not an underwater kind of person.
What lurks under the water, it kind of frightens me, said the Atlantic City High School senior.
But after a remotely operated submersible can take video of a shipwreck at the bottom of the ocean, his perspective might be changing.
Aponte and several of his classmates spent the morning of Oct. 20 at Coast Day, an event coordinated by Susanne Moskalski, associate professor of Marine Science, and held at John F. Scarpa Academic Center. Students from Atlantic City and Egg Harbor Township high schools checked out a variety of displays and exhibitors focusing on the theme of coastal change, conservation and resilience. The students also listened to a lecture about sea level rise, had the opportunity to take part in a craft with shells and even learned how to cast a fishing rod.
