Stockton's Golden Ospreys is a special group reserved for alumni who have reached the milestone 50th anniversary of their graduation, celebrating their legacy and lasting impact on the university. Their experiences as some of Stockton’s earliest students helped shape the university for future generations.

Commencement Tradition: Golden Ospreys Lead the Way

Each year, the incoming class of Golden Ospreys proudly leads Commencement, celebrating the newest graduates while reflecting on their own milestone 50 years ago. This tradition honors their lifelong connection to Stockton and recognizes their ongoing role in shaping its future.

Taking the risk of attending a college that didn't yet have a brick-and-mortar campus turned out to be a very wise decision. I'm feeling grateful to have survived 50 years of life's challenges, transforming from a Woodstock flower child Jersey girl to a Golden Osprey.
