“Strengthening Institutions will allow Rowan College at Burlington County to make substantial investments in our students that will improve their ability to succeed and complete degrees,” said RCBC President Dr. Michael A. Cioce. “This will have a profound impact on many students – particularly those who come from underserved communities – and make us a stronger institutional for all.”

The Women and Minorities in the Utility Industry grant provides qualified candidates with an opportunity to enroll in RCBC’s Energy Industry Fundamentals (EIF) program for free. The program teaches important fundamentals through modules such as Basic and Emerging Principles and Concepts, Safety Compliance, and Electric and Natural Gas Distribution, among others.

“This began as a statewide effort with a regional focus. When we were trying to decide which industry we wanted to work with first, in three separate conversations, manufacturing was prioritized,” Anna Payanzo Cotton recalled. “We’ve all been championing this issue for years. We just really want to enhance the pipeline of talent for this industry.” 

“Every experience was memorable: inside the classroom, among my peers and on the field. A lot of things that I learned in my academics helped build the foundation of how I was able to handle my four-year college projects and exams. The difficulty of the school pushed me to excel and exceed far beyond my own expectations,” Hamilton recalled.

“This is the event that kick-starts things. We’re going into it with an open mind, and the ability to adapt to student schedules. Our social media (@rcbcosl) is key in that. We have some great events lined up for fall, and it’s a constantly evolving schedule,” John Costa said.  

“In particular, Professor Meadows and Professor Tokazewski have encouraged me to apply my scientific knowledge of various biological and ecological concepts to real-world situations. General Biology Skills and Global Ecology are hands-on courses where I had the opportunity to carry out and practice student research. We actually ‘did science’ instead of reading about it from a textbook -- which is pretty amazing. These courses were no doubt challenging; however, they have expanded my mind on how I approach and study biology. Looking back now the skills I have gained at RCBC have primed me to be successful as a seasonal naturalist in carrying out interpretive programs.”
