SORA (Security Officer Registration Act) training is coming to RCBC! Amber Ciccanti, an Assistant Professor for RCBC’s Criminal Justice Department, is responsible for bringing this training to our campus. We spoke with Professor Ciccanti about bringing SORA training to RCBC, the in-and-outs of the program and her interest in preparing others for success in law enforcement.

Q: What is your Criminal Justice or security background?

With support from »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ’s Educational Opportunity Fund Office,  student Alycia Copeland set herself up for success and is now helping other students have a transformative experience as a student worker in the office.

Moorestown, N.J. - On Monday, February 27, President Dr. Michael A. Cioce visited students at Moorestown's Mary E. Roberts Elementary School and shared a favorite book, "What Are Words, Really?" Assisted by the RCBC's mascot, Barry, he read to a full-school assembly in honor of Read Across America.

»Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ’s efforts to increase support for veteran students will include the help of Ann Treadaway, an example of the increasing number of women in the military and veterans advocacy, who will aid the college in bridging the civilian knowledge gap in our community.

As a seasoned pianist and music educator, the very last thing Kristy Whilden expected was to lose her hearing. Whilden was a music and piano teacher for ten years before receiving a shocking prognosis in 2014, which informed her that she was beginning to develop progressive sensorineural hearing loss.

Since piano had been her primary outlet for self-expression for the majority of her life, the musician spiraled into fear that she was about to lose her love and outlet in music forever. 

As the end of spring semester approaches and deadlines and exams naturally cause a spike in daily tension, students wanting to burn off some of their stress can make use of RCBC’s new RECWELL Center opening later this month in the Student Success Center on the Mount Laurel, New Jersey campus. 

The brand-new recreation and wellness room will soon become a hub for circuit training sessions, including a variety of group instruction classes led by RCBC’s student wellness coordinator, Shannon Violetti.

New Jersey native and »Æ¹ÏÊÓƵ student, Boaz Matlack, earned the Civility Award for his honorable work as an activist fighting for equal rights among all individuals. 

At the age of four, Boaz Matlack was adopted into an Irish Catholic family from Medford and was raised in a family that demonstrated liberal beliefs. Unfortunately, growing up in a neighborhood that lacked diversity made schooling difficult at times. It was in middle school where he first became aware of academic discrimination being taught in class. 

There is an intricate path between an RCBC student’s first day of classes and the first day of their future career. As the average student juggles academics, jobs and personal responsibilities, having a helping hand when it comes to reaching their dream job is invaluable.
