Alex Wolf has held an interest in engineering since learning about it from his father. When considering what to study after high school, he decided to begin with Rowan College at Burlington County’s manufacturing machinist program. There, he learned blueprint reading, applied math, job layout, hand and power tools, manual milling, manual lathe, grinding, band saw and CNC lathe and mill machines. Upon completion of the program, he chose to continue his studies with an engineering degree from RCBC, citing the college’s affordability and convenience. 

With the support of an open-minded president, Rowan College at Burlington County has spent the past few years redefining the concept of their annual reports, adding fun and functionality into the process for both the audience and the marketing team. From a high-gloss magazine to a calendar to a classic newspaper complete with a comic strip, the marketing team’s efforts have paid off in the form of National Council for Marketing and Public Relations (NCMPR) Medallion awards for consecutive years. 

When Rowan College at Burlington County alum Michael Thornburg found himself unemployed with four kids to support, he knew he had to pivot in a big way. That’s when he turned his attention to RCBC’s Cisco CCNA program. There, he gained a broader knowledge of technology, including internet protocols, network security and router configuration.
