Gloucester County College is no more.
In its place stands a new name, playing off the brand name of a nearby university and reflecting the growth of the community college: Rowan College at Gloucester County.
Lawmakers and county officials joined the college’s administrators and staff Tuesday for a celebration of the school’s new branding. Among the speakers: State Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D., Gloucester), State Sen. Donald Norcross (D., Camden), Rowan University president Ali A. Houshmand, Rowan trustees’ chair Linda Rohrer, and Rowan College president Frederick Keating.
The new name was one of several higher-education changes that took effect Tuesday. July 1, the start of the fiscal year, also saw a series of transitions at Rutgers-Camden: a new campus chancellor, a new law school dean, and the integration of a nursing school absorbed by Rutgers last year.
