Who has the right to vote? What are the privileges and obligations of citizens? Whose voices will ultimately be heard? These questions have ruminated in the American psyche since the Revolutionary War and continue to affect citizens to this day. Explore them further and join the discussion at Rowan College at Burlington County from April 5 to May 5, as they display Voices and Votes: Democracy in America, an exhibit based on works currently displayed at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History. 

“As the Board, we will support our leadership team in keeping an open door policy for our students,” Walton said. “This is how we will not only create access, but also support completion. Greater resources to bring students in, greater focus on how to connect with students and who they are at their core, what support services are needed, how and why and much more. Here is the thing – we think we know, and we do to some extent, but we must listen to the voices of our students to truly understand how to best do this.”

Rowan College at Burlington County and Saxbys, a Certified B Corp, celebrated the first student-run Saxbys cafe to open at a community college on March 22 with music, arcade-style games and a special welcome to inaugural Student C.E.O. Owen Taylor, a 3+1 Business Administration student. 

“The Ukrainian population is, obviously, taking the brunt of this invasion and the results across the country are deep and heartbreaking to see, Chapman said. “Many of their lives are permanently altered for the worse. The Russian population, while not experiencing the same level of change, are still having their lives upended in significant ways. When dealing with a nuclear global power, like Russia, it is understandable and necessary why the U.S. cannot strategically bomb the regime or enforce a no-fly zone, as it could likely trigger a larger and more destructive war. So, sanctions are the chosen tool, but they are in almost all ways affecting the daily lives of the Russian population much more than the regime.”

“I have been impressed with the growth of RCBC and their partnership with Rowan University, as well as the variety of degrees offered,” Reed said. “I would like to continue to champion the diverse representation of students in the variety of curricula. I would also like to work toward building an aquatics center that includes an indoor track to be used by students and county residents.”

“I’ve heard from many students, faculty and staff who cannot wait for their first cup of Saxbys coffee served up by Rowan College at Burlington County students who are honing their entrepreneurial skills,” said RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce. “Congratulations to Owen Taylor who will be the first student CEO to open a cafe at a community college and providing another example of how our students make RCBC the number one community college in New Jersey.”

“RCBC has the 3+1 program, and it was an institute where I knew that I would be known by my name and not just a numbered student,” Chaunce said. “My whole experience has been exceptional here. I can say that not every class that I have taken was overly exciting, but I find at least a few golden nuggets in everything I do. The culinary experience has definitely been an exciting journey for me.”

“In comparison to other colleges I researched, Rowan College at Burlington County was affordable,” Marion said. “I also qualified for several grants through RCBC, and my first semester of classes really piqued my interest. I realized ‘I like this. I’m doing very well here.’”

“Student success is our number one goal,” RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. “When students can earn both an associate and bachelor’s degree in relevant career paths without incurring crippling debt, we’ve done our job as a college. I look forward to expanding our 3+1 program offerings and continuing to offer a solution to student debt.”
