Navigating the Pathway to Presidency from Student Affairs
A conversation with Dr. Jeffrey Putman and Dr. Joe Bertolino
Join us for an engaging opening keynote conversation with Dr. Joe Bertolino, President of Stockton University, and NASPA Region II Regional Director, Dr. Jeffrey Putman, as they discuss his journey through enrollment management and student affairs to being a college president.
Dr. Joe Bertolino, President, Stockton University
Joe Bertolino, Ed.D. (he/him), was named the sixth President of Stockton University on March 3, 2023.
President Joe, as he is affectionately known, has been a social justice educator for almost 30 years and is passionate about student success and access to higher education.
Since 2016, Dr. Bertolino has led Southern Connecticut State University, a public institution of 9,000 students in New Haven, Connecticut. There, he has pursued several key priorities, including: raising the university’s profile; establishing Southern as Connecticut’s public university for social justice; expanding community outreach and partnerships, building strategic enrollment and streamlining students’ paths to earning a degree.
