A Cinnaminson resident has been named a trustee for Rowan College at Burlington County, according to a press release from the school this morning.
The board welcomed Jason P. Tosches, of Cinnaminson, who was appointed by the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders earlier this month.
“Rowan College at Burlington County is one of the fastest-growing community colleges in New Jersey and will continue to build momentum with the addition of Trustees Martin and Tosches,” said Burlington County Freeholder Linda Hughes, who serves as liaison to the college and is a former trustee. “Serving as an RCBC Trustee is an incredible responsibility that provides the opportunity to help people transform their lives through education.”
RCBC’s enrollment increased 3 percent this spring when most colleges’ enrollment continues to decline.
Tosches serves as director at CLB Partners where he focuses on a number of complex public policy issues. He received a bachelor’s degree in political science from Moravian College.
“Rowan College at Burlington County is making an impact on our county, region, state and nation,” Tosches said. “The 3+1 path to a Rowan University bachelor’s degree is redefining how families can afford education in the 21st century and I’m honored to join a ground-breaking college that values affordability, innovation and excellence.”
RCBC increased enrollment this spring for the first time in five years fueled by more out-of-county, new and transfer students.
“We are on the right track to reshaping our college to meet the needs of the 21st century careers and students,” RCBC President Paul Drayton said. “We are proud of our growth and expect it to continue as we implement ways to solve the high costs of college. The support of a talented, passionate and dynamic Board of Trustees is crucial and we’re delighted to welcome Trustees Martin and Tosches to the RCBC community.”
