Rowan College at Burlington County (RCBC) has launched its new five-year strategic plan, a bold, visionary blueprint designed to improve student outcomes by 2030 and retain them beyond.

For the first time in its history, the college’s graduation rate has exceeded 35% the past two academic years. Now, the college is looking ahead to refine this success even further. In the next five years, it aims to increase its graduation rate from 35.9% to more than 40% by 2030. 

A new alumni trustee has joined Rowan College at Burlington County’s Board of Trustees. RCBC graduate Kershie Ambroise was sworn in at the college’s board meeting on Sept. 16. 

Ambroise, originally from Haiti, emigrated to the United States in 2018 with her mother and two older sisters. She enrolled at RCBC first as a nursing student before switching to the 3+1 Health Studies program.
