RCBC’s “Global Studies Lecture Series” aims to bring world-renowned scholars and researchers to the college to engage and discuss with students and the public crucial and current issues in global security, conflict, health and environment. This initiative is supported by a recent U.S. Department of Education grant that will enable RCBC to establish a Global Studies degree designation, including the addition of a Global Studies course and high-demand language courses, such as Arabic and Chinese.

“I’ve learned to take every opportunity that comes at you. Even though we went fully remote in March, we were ready for an interview, knew how to present ourselves and were equipped with resume-building skills. I would say to do it because it’s a great resource to have,” Kennedy Vazquez, who now studies film at Rider University, said. 

In addition to expanded course offerings, students have access to a plethora of virtual services, including tutoring, student support, counseling, and virtual walk-in services where they can meet online with both advising and registration. 

“Strengthening Institutions will allow Rowan College at Burlington County to make substantial investments in our students that will improve their ability to succeed and complete degrees,” said RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce. “This will have a profound impact on many students – particularly those who come from underserved communities – and make us a stronger institutional for all.”

The Women and Minorities in the Utility Industry grant provides qualified candidates with an opportunity to enroll in RCBC’s Energy Industry Fundamentals (EIF) program for free. The program teaches important fundamentals through modules such as Basic and Emerging Principles and Concepts, Safety Compliance, and Electric and Natural Gas Distribution, among others.

“This began as a statewide effort with a regional focus. When we were trying to decide which industry we wanted to work with first, in three separate conversations, manufacturing was prioritized,” Anna Payanzo Cotton recalled. “We’ve all been championing this issue for years. We just really want to enhance the pipeline of talent for this industry.” 

“Every experience was memorable: inside the classroom, among my peers and on the field. A lot of things that I learned in my academics helped build the foundation of how I was able to handle my four-year college projects and exams. The difficulty of the school pushed me to excel and exceed far beyond my own expectations,” Hamilton recalled.
