“I want to make the culinary and hospitality programs at RCBC the best in the state. I plan to connect with local businesses and create partnerships and collaborations. I will be looking at organizing events and competitions in the culinary building in the near future. In addition, I have plans to bring in visiting chefs to present demonstrations for students.” 

“I absolutely love working out of the RCBC culinary kitchens in Mount Holly,” Fehder said. “The facilities are clean, organized and of the highest quality. It is a luxury to have a three-compartment sink and full working dishwashing machine. The convection oven is accurate and efficient, and the physical workspace is plentiful. As a new business or culinary entrepreneur, it is a great option to utilize a full commercial kitchen without having to invest in purchasing one.”

“We currently serve hundreds of veterans and plan to continue to improve our service to those who served our country,” RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. “Adding a dedicated lounge space, with access to computers and fellow veterans, will increase camaraderie and a sense of inclusion among our veterans. This is just another step we’re taking to thank those who have given so much to our country.”

“I chose RCBC because it was the only school in my area that offered culinary and pastry classes at an affordable price,” Villarini, of Pennsauken, said. “I pay out of pocket, and it has been great to attend a community college that offers classes on what I love to do.”

“I’d like to thank Governor Murphy and the legislature for approving this much-needed increase in funding,” Dr. Cioce said. “This will benefit countless students not only at RCBC, but throughout the state. A special thanks to my colleagues for their collaboration in prioritizing the needs of our students in developing this modern funding scheme.”

Through RCBC’s business programs, students learn customer relations and partnership-building. They develop their business management savvy and gain high-demand skills employers seek, or master the skills needed to start their own businesses. Career paths include accounting, business administration, management, fashion product merchandising and more. 

“The inspiration for these works came from a chance to not only try something different, but to explore another side of myself and my work,” Toritto said. “The name ‘Follies & Visual Syntax’ comes from a discussion between Don and I. It's about how we work, what happens when we work and about the visual language of mark making and edges.” 

“I am fortunate enough to have amazing parents who already have given a great deal so that I have the opportunity to follow my dreams, but with this scholarship, it certainly lightens the load on my behalf and only influences me to keep going for it,” Buckalew shared. “I am extremely thankful!”

“I am honored to be welcomed into this new position at RCBC,” Feinberg said. “It has been an amazing experience working with multiple departments at RCBC, such as the STEM department as a student worker and the Liberal Arts department as a Service-Learning Scholar. I look forward to working with the members of the board to broaden my knowledge of the inner workings of RCBC, as well as be a part of continued positive change within our community.”
