“Rowan College at Burlington County includes Student Accounts in the Enrollment Management and Student Success Division, which reflects our priority of treating students with dignity and respect rather than a transaction," RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. "Myles exemplifies this ideal with the ability to help students understand the process and put them at ease even when he cannot provide the answer they want to hear.

“We have these languages that we need a lot more people in the United States trained in,” Dr. Chapman said. “They offer excellent employment across a broad spectrum. You learn Arabic or Chinese, and you are setting yourself up well in almost any field, including just purely being a translator. There’s been a huge demand for decades for these; we’ve got a 30 or 40-year backed-up demand in the United States for more speakers of these languages, so any college that can effectively get students to specialize in these courses is a big deal.”

“Most of the memorable experiences at RCBC were through my classes,” Klahn shared.  “I found that it was really easy to form a relationship with my teachers since the classes weren’t that big. They really do try to help you both inside of their class and outside. I also liked how diverse the school was. Unlike a four-year school, quite a few people in my classes were coming back to school and trying to get a higher education for the first time after already being out in the workforce. It brought many broad and differing experiences that you can’t really find anywhere else.”
