Since becoming part of the U of G almost two years ago, the college has increased enrolment, added more flexibility to its programming and offered more opportunities for students, staff and faculty.
"The ability to attract, generate and return revenues is a significant and dramatic difference from being a college to being affiliated with the university," says Ablett.
Although the college is primarily a research institute, joining the U of G has opened new doors to funding agencies and opportunities, and involvement with graduate student training.

 CAMDEN - Cramer Hill   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Cramer Hill derives its name from Alfred Cramer, who in the late 19th century purchased large tracts of farmland, for the most part between Federal Street and the Delaware River in what was then Stockton Township, subdivided the land into building lots, and sold them on an installment basis to people of average means.
When Alfred Cramer was originally developing the area along River Avenue, a great many people of German origin purchased lots there, and the area for many years saw a large segment of its populace be of German descent.
Students from Ablett Village attend Veteran Memorial Middle School and the George Washington Elementary School, so one would say that Ablett residents would definitely be a part of the Cramer Hill community.
