Neither of my parents went to college, and yes, they are still successful, but having a college degree to me is necessary. Even if you have plans that don’t require a degree, and you find out you don’t want to pursue that plan anymore, you have a degree to fall back on just in case. I know my parents are proud of me, and it makes me feel good to know that I am putting in the effort and doing something right that will benefit me in the future.

“I really try to help my students come to a better understanding of how law enforcement applies to different situations,” Ciccanti shared. “Through our programs, we encourage students to take different classes and emphasize a variety of pathways because criminal justice is more than just policing. We also take a look at the field through a sociology and social justice lens.”

“We’re very excited to offer exposure to so many employment opportunities right here on campus,” RCBC Law and Public Service Instructor Dr. Amber Ciccanti said. “Bringing together agencies representing various aspects of law enforcement will allow participants to find their niche and choose the path that’s best for them. In some cases, interested individuals will be able to apply for a position or submit a formal notice of interest on the spot!”

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. 

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. 

“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.”

“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.”
