Serving the Stockton community since 1971.

The Argo has been a staple of Stockton University for decades, growing and adapting to change and progress as the school made its way from a secluded state college in the heart of the Pine Barrens to a major competitive university that flourishes everyday.

My name is Mary DeRose and I’m a junior in the Literature and American Studies dual degree program. This is my second year as the Argo’s Editor-in-Chief, and I’m also a member of the Sigma Tau Delta Literature Honor Society. I’ve had poetry published by Moonstone Arts Center out of Philadelphia and spend most of my free time writing songs, reading, and plotting novels. When not at Stockton, you can find me traipsing around a Disney park, exploring historic towns, or rewatching comfort tv shows!

Hello! My name is Zuleika Rodriguez Garcia and I am the Assistant Editor of The Argo! I am a Visual Arts major with minors in art history and business administration. Outside of The Argo, you will find me at Stockpot Art & Literature Magazine serving as Editor-in-Chief. In my freetime, you’ll find me hiking or capturing pictures on film!

I am an aspiring journalist and first-year student majoring in Political Science with a concentration in international affairs. I am also a Student Senator, member of Alpha Lambda Delta, and have spent the past year as a Cultural Engagement Osprey! When I’m not running around doing every extra curricular ever, you can find me playing guitar on the beach or chasing around the children I nanny.

Hi everyone! My name is Sophia Makowski, and going into this semester, I will be a Stockton senior. I am a Business Administration major in the dual degree MBA program here at Stockton. I am The Argo’s Business Manager — it’s my first semester in the role, and I’m so excited to join the team!
