Whether you call it early dismissal, senior privilege, early release or any variation on those, leaving high school early provides the perfect opportunity for your student to get a head start on college. Didn’t know that was an option? It is at Rowan College at Burlington County! 

“Being Hispanic makes you work harder. You need to prove to yourself and others that you are capable enough to do what they do. When I found out I got a scholarship to Rowan College at Burlington County, the first thing that crossed my mind was ‘Why me?’. And then I looked back and remembered all my struggles, from coming to a country and leaving my family behind (just me and my kids here), to learning the language and going back to school knowing just the basics in English."

“I’m so excited to open RCBC’s Vaulted Cuisine with our students on October 6 and invite the community to join me to taste their inspired creations,” Chef Desmond Keefe, RCBC’s culinary technology program director said.

“It’s an honor to be selected among these institutions,” RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. “Student Success is the highest of priorities at Rowan College at Burlington County and we will relentlessly pursue new and better ways to support students as they transform their lives through education.”

In recognition of Constitution Week, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will welcome America’s newest citizens during a special naturalization ceremony at Rowan College at Burlington County on Friday, Oct. 1, at 10:00 a.m. 

“My best experience at RCBC was making new friends,” Pachucki said. “My friend Jay and I met in chemistry lab, and we have been friends ever since. I recently attended his wedding, and it is wonderful to see how one class turned into a lifelong friendship.”

“Being chosen to host the cooking demo for Hispanic Heritage Month is definitely my most memorable experience at RCBC,” Peralta said. “It’s really an honor to represent the Latin culture for this month.” 

“I want to make the culinary and hospitality programs at RCBC the best in the state. I plan to connect with local businesses and create partnerships and collaborations. I will be looking at organizing events and competitions in the culinary building in the near future. In addition, I have plans to bring in visiting chefs to present demonstrations for students.” 

“I absolutely love working out of the RCBC culinary kitchens in Mount Holly,” Fehder said. “The facilities are clean, organized and of the highest quality. It is a luxury to have a three-compartment sink and full working dishwashing machine. The convection oven is accurate and efficient, and the physical workspace is plentiful. As a new business or culinary entrepreneur, it is a great option to utilize a full commercial kitchen without having to invest in purchasing one.”

“We currently serve hundreds of veterans and plan to continue to improve our service to those who served our country,” RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. “Adding a dedicated lounge space, with access to computers and fellow veterans, will increase camaraderie and a sense of inclusion among our veterans. This is just another step we’re taking to thank those who have given so much to our country.”
