Dr. Harvey Kesselman
ATLANTIC CITY - A portion of Albany Avenue near Stockton University will officially be designated as Dr. Harvey Kesselman Way 10:30 a.m.Thursday, April 27.
The new street sign will be unveiled at a ceremony at the location, across from Stockton's Atlantic City campus, 3711 Atlantic Ave.
At a meeting in December, the City Council of Atlantic City unanimously approved an ordinance to rename the block in recognition of Kesselman's service to Stockton University and Atlantic City. It commends the Stockton president's commitment to the public-private partnership to build the Atlantic City campus, which opened in 2018.
On May 3, the university will name the original Residential Complex after Kesselman and hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the second residential building.
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, the ordinance reads.
Kesselman will retire as Stockton's fifth president on June 30.
