Dr. Yannuzzi has also served on the advisory councils of the Rowan University College of Education and the New Jersey Italian and Italian American Heritage Commission.
In 1962, a New Jersey State law enabled the establishment of colleges by counties. Camden County created a college board in 1964 and a voter referendum, in 1965, approved the creation of a county college. In 1966, the Freeholders of Camden County charged Harry Benn, then secretary of the Camden County College Board, and a small commission to find land capable of maintaining a college in the central part of the county. The Salvatorean Fathers, who ran Mother of the Savior Seminary, were looking to sell the land and close down the facility.[2] Camden County College was established in 1967 on 320 acres (1.3 km2) of land which had belonged to the Mother of the Savior Seminary.
Three Seminary buildings, Roosevelt, Wilson and Jefferson halls, are still in use. The Three buildings form an "U" shape with a small central courtyard. The 1969 graduation commencement took place in the courtyard of the three major buildings. Currently, a small memorial to the Mother of the Savior Seminary resides in that courtyard. In 1967, Wilson Hall served as an administrative center, library, cafeteria and activity room. Jefferson Hall served as the main Science Building. Originally, there was a pond and creek on campus which later included a series of waterfalls, lounge beaches, and pedestrian walks.[3]
Otto R. Mauke was chosen to be the first president of the college in March 1967 and his staff moved into Washington Hall in June 1967. First Day of classes for the college was on September 25, 1967 only six months from the "founding" of the college.
When Camden County College was founded it was composed of one campus, seven academic programs and a handful of buildings. The original buildings included Wilson Hall (which is composed of three distinct parts: East, West and Center), Washington Hall (razed in 2010), Jefferson Hall, Roosevelt Hall, and Lincoln Hall. Washington Hall housed the college offices, Wilson West housed the Library, Lincoln Hall contained both a gym and an auditorium, Wilson Center provided the cafeteria and dining rooms, Wilson East housed faculty offices and Jefferson Hall contained science laboratories and general classrooms. Today, Camden County College is composed of three campuses. Camden City Campus is composed of two multistory tower buildings, the Rohrer Campus is one multistory complex, and Blackwood Campus, the largest campus, has over twenty buildings on its 320-acre (1.3 km2) site.
The college began with less than a thousand students but quickly grew exponentially. By 2010, Camden County College's enrollment topped 16,000 students. In 1969, Camden County College hosted its first Commencement by graduating 172 students with associate degrees. At 2010's Commencement ceremony, the college conferred degrees on 1,790 students, the largest class in the school's history.
In 1969, CCC opened its first campus in Camden City. In 1970, the first new building, Adams Hall, was built at the Blackwood campus. 1969 also marked the beginning of the first multimillion dollar expansion project. The $9 million dollar (1969 dollars) project constructed five new buildings: Madison Hall, now Blackwood's premier - and recently overhauled - academic building, Taft Hall, the current science building, the Wolverton Learning Resource Center, which houses the college's library and student services like a testing center, tutoring center and study rooms, and the College Community Center, which was renamed in 2009 to honor the first president of the college, Otto Mauke. Plans were also made to construct two more buildings: the Papiano Gymnasium and Truman Hall, a center for career technology training. Most of the buildings were opened by 1972.
During the 1970s, the College added a Laser Institute, a Nursing School, a Dental Assistant Institute. Meanwhile, the Camden City Campus moved several times.
In 1984, the Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Technology program was begun and by 1988 a massive new building was built. The CIM building contained a fully functioning factory floor as one of its classrooms. In 1989, a new 10,000-square-foot (930 m2) Laser Institute building was built on the Blackwood campus, as was a 4,700-square-foot (440 m2) Child care center. Also in 1989 construction began on a new, permanent, Camden City Campus location.
Announced in 2005, the Freeholder initiative began a multi-year transformation of the buildings and facilities of the Blackwood campus. The capital investment, totaling US$83 million, is the largest renovation and expansion of the campus since its initial construction in the late 1960s. The capital infusion is a partnership between Camden County, The State of New Jersey and Camden County College and is funded by three bond issues in 2005, 2007, and 2008.
On June 4, 2010, the Camden County College Board of Trustees approved a five year plan for the College's development.[4] This plan will contain five broad concepts to help improve the quality of the facilities, the faculty, the staff and the student body. Much of the 2010-2015 Strategic Plan will continue to Blackwood campus transformation which began in 2005 as part of an 83 million dollar initiative to renovate the Blackwood Campus.
The renovation and the Strategic Plan highlights the construction of a new science building and the renovation of Taft Hall plus the construction of a "Ring Road" to allow better transportation, pedestrian traffic and facility access.
Other highlights of the Strategic Plan is offer more "green" technology and renewable energy technology programs, building a fully wireless internet campus at all three campus locations, make technology and presentation equipment available in every classroom, expand the Rohrer campus and facilities, continue to enhance security measures for the College community, increase student advisement and tutoring on campus, develop more "work-readiness" programs to retrain workers for future, high pay, employment, and to increase ties with both the surrounding adult community and enhance the partnership with county high schools.
The Madison Connector Building is a new construction project begun simultaneously with the renovation of Madison Hall. The Connector is a three story breezeway-office-classroom facility linking Madison Hall with the College Community Center. It features a dramatic curved exterior. The building is 32,000 square feet (3,000 m2) and represented the first new construction on campus since the early 1990s. Madison Connector contains a lecture theater, an amphitheater, high-tech classrooms and office spaces. Innovative “smart” technologies fill the building, providing state-of-the-art wireless and hard-wired teaching spaces and presentation capabilities. The most visually appealing part of the Madison Connector is the "Atrium" a three story open space paneled by tall glass walls on three sides making the Atrium sunlight throughout the day. As such, it has become a gathering space for students wishing to study in a more open environment. Construction was begun in 2005 and completed in Fall of 2008.
The Madison Connector building houses Civic Hall and The Forum - two high-technology meeting/conference/lecture spaces which serve as the hub for the presentations given by the Center for Civic Leadership and Responsibility. Civic Hall is a 244 stadium seat lecture hall containing a full presentation room in the back and multiple cameras and projectors. The Forum is a 40-seat amphitheater built to be reminiscent of the both the Roman Forum and Medieval Observation Classrooms. The Forum is also outfitted with modern presentation equipment.
Seven outmoded buildings including Roosevelt Hall and Wilson Hall, both of which were constructed in the 1950s and predate the College's tenure of the land, will be demolished. Also to be demolished are Washington Hall, Adams Hall and the Camden County College Optical Clinic - all of which were built in the late 1960s as part of the campus's original expansion. In 2010 Washington Hall, which had been vacant, was razed. Washington Hall was one of the original buildings of the college's founding in 1967 and had been part of the seminary which predated the college's use of the land.
The new science building is a $30 million capital project. It had its groundbreaking on October 26, 2010 and is expected to be completed in 2012. College President Raymond Yannuzzi gave the opening remarks and was followed by honored guests including several members of the Camden County Board of Freeholders and the College Board of Trustees and other Honorored guests including U.S. Representative Robert E. Andrews, D-NJ, and New Jersey State Senator Donald Norcross. Also attending and giving brief remarks were Camden County Freeholder Director Louis Cappelli Jr., Freeholder Jeffrey L. Nash, Freeholder Ian K. Leonard, Gloucester Township Mayor David R. Mayer and CCC trustee chair Kevin G. Halpern.
The New Sciences Building will include:[5]
The Main Academic Campus of Camden County College is located in Blackwood, New Jersey. It was founded in 1969 on land formerly belonging to the Mother of the Savior Seminary. The campus currently contains nearly twenty (20) academic buildings but in the midst of the 2005-2015 Freeholder building program new buildings (such as the Madison Hall Connector and a new Science Building) are being constructed while older, outmoded buildings are being demolished.
The main academic buildings include:
Also located on the main campus is the Wolverton Library Complex which not only houses the main library for Camden County College but also the academic testing center, a large tutoring center and study spaces - which include both large open spaces and small offices for groups seeking privacy in their work.
Roosevelt Hall is the main administrative building on campus. It houses the Office of the President, Alumni Relations, The Camden County College Foundation, the Office of Institutional Research in addition to other administrative offices.
The Blackwood campus also contained the Camden County Police Academy within the Capt. Thomas J. McDonnell Criminal Justice Center. Members of the police academy would, Monday through Friday, conduct the flag raising and lowering ceremony on campus. The Flag Raising ceremony, which included both a United States national Flag and an MIA/POW Flag, was conducted before the beginning of classes. The Flag Lowering ceremony would take place just before the conclusion of the business day of the college. This tradition began in 1988 when the police academy was moved to Camden County College. With the move of the Police Academy to another CCC campus the raising and lowering cermeony, which included elaborate parade maneuvers by cadets and the singing of the United States National Anthem, was concluded in May 2011. The video below is the Flag Raising Ceremony at Camden County College by the Camden County Police Academy in April 2011.
Located in Camden City at the nexus of Broadway and Cooper Street Camden County College has built two facilities. Camden County College opened a campus in Camden City in 1969 when it created an evening program for citizens who had not finished high school. In 1970 a new set of classrooms and offices was opened at Carmen Street in Camden City. In 1973, the Camden City campus expanded to a new building at 319 Cooper Street. In 1978, the Camden City campus expanded again through a move to a new facility located at Seventh and Cooper streets. This remained the location of the city campus until 1991 when the campus was moved to its current location, at the corner of Broadway and Cooper streets, and is known as College Hall.
College Hall was a five story, fifty thousand sq foot building. It houses liberal arts classrooms, an art room, a science laboratory, a child care center, computer rooms, and offices for student services.
In 2004, a new building was opened across the street from College Hall is the Camden Technology Center (CTC). The CTC is a US$19.6 million, 278,000-square-foot (25,800 m2) facility built as part of the Camden Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act. The purpose of the facility is to create a space for the teaching and learning of technology-driven careers in health, business and technology fields. Amenities include technologically “smart” learning spaces, an “electronic village” computer lab, fully wired conference rooms, a 621-space parking garage and a University District Bookstore. The 13,500-square-foot (1,250 m2) bookstore is open to the public, includes an internet cafe, and services the book requirements of the schools in the Camden University District including Rutgers-Camden and Rowan University.
The Camden City campus services more than two thousand students per semester - about 14% of the Camden County College student population.
The Rohrer Campus is Camden County College's third campus location. It is located at the corner of Route 70 and Springdale Road in Cherry Hill, New Jersey on an 11-acre (45,000 m2) site. In 1997 the Rohrer Charitable Foundation awarded a million dollar grant to the college. Mr. Rohrer had been a college trustee for nine years and was the longtime Mayor of Haddon Township, New Jersey. The campus was opened on April 19, 2000 during the college presidency of Phyllis Della Vecchia and the chairmanship of Kevin Halpern of the Board of Trustees. Also important to the project were Riletta Cream, the Camden County Board of Chosen Freeholders’ liaison for education, Jeffrey Nash, Camden County freeholder director; Susan Bass Levin, mayor of Cherry Hill Township; and Linda Rohrer, William G. Rohrer Foundation trustee and 1997 Camden County College honorary degree recipient.
The Campus is composed of one two story building. When it opened only 200 students took classes in the building. that number had increased to nearly 1,800 students by the Spring 2010 semester. The purpose of the third campus, despite being smaller than the main campus in Blackwood New Jersey, is to provide students unable to attend wither of the other campuses with the chance of obtaining a completed associates degree in business administration, pre-nursing, psychology, elementary/secondary education, liberal arts and English. As such the campus has Fall, Spring and Summer semesters with morning, afternoon and evening classes.
The campus is also highlighted by its technological offerings. The campus building contains several computer labs, an E-Library for student research which allows students to access all the digital offerings of the main campus, and a digital cafe. The campus is also wifi enabled and every classroom has digital projector technology to allow professor's the most up-to-date lecture and presentation equipment. The campus also has a fully stocked campus bookstore and a student lounge.
On May 1, 2010, the College celebrated the tenth anniversary of the opening of the building. During the reception a new portrait of William Rohrer was unveiled and continues to hang in the main hall of the campus building.
Camden County College, with its three campuses, is one of the largest public colleges in New Jersey. When the college started, in September 1967, there were 464 students. In the Fall of 2010, the college enrolled 15,493 students; an increase of over 3,200% in the college's forty-three years of existence. The College jumped from 464 to 2,114 students in its second year (1968). In September of 1989, enrollment topped 10,000 students for the first time and enrolled more than 15,000 for the first time in 1992. In total, Camden County College has served the educational needs of over 326,000 students in the forty three years of its existence.
Enrollment at the three campuses, as well as the online course program, have all increased over the 2000s. Between 2005 and 2010 the online course program has increased its enrollment credits by 64% from 5,965 credits to 9,773 credits. The Rohrer Campus, located in Cherry Hill New Jersey, increased its enrollment credits by 44% over the same period. The Camden City Campus increased its enrollment credits by 27% between 2005-2010.[7]
As the college for Camden County New Jersey, the demographics of the institution broadly coincide with the demographics of the county. In Fall 2010 there were 15,493 students enrolled at the college's three campuses. 54% identified themselves as Caucasian, 22% identified themselves as African-American, 8% identified themselves as Hispanic, 6% identified themselves as Asian. 74.5% of the students lived in Camden County and 96% lived in the state of New Jersey. The average age of a student at Camden County College is 27 years old representing the importance of the institution as a trade and retraining center. 59% of the students were female, representing the general demographic trends of higher education in the United States, while 39% identified themselves as male. The College accepted and enrolled a full quarter of all the high school graduates of Camden County - with many coming into the school with college credit obtained through the High School Dual Credit Program.[8]
The Honors Program was inaugurated in the Fall 2008 semester. The purpose of the Honors Program is to create an academically rigorous yet supportive community. Students must maintain a 3.5 gpa to remain in the program. Classes within the Honors Program are smaller -usually capped at 20 students rather than the usual 40 - and are writing intensive. Honors classes require six written assignments to be completed per class per semester. Members of the program are also required to participate in three campus based cultural or service events and will have special social, academic and scholarship opportunities available to them during the school year. Students who graduate as a member of the Honors Program receive a special designation in the Commencement Brochure.
Graduates from the Honors Program have transferred into Honors Programs at Rutgers-Camden, Arizona State University, American University, Stockton & Drexel as well as to Wesleyan University.
The current Honors Program includes 13 classes (including classes in History, Political Science, Psychology, Chemistry, Art, Philosophy, Theater, Music, and English Composition and Literature) and, as of Fall 2011, 150 students. The retention rate for students within the program (students maintaining the academic standing to continue in the program) has never dipped below 90%.
The Honors program also has a partnership with Rutgers-Camden which allows CCC students transferring to Rutgers-Camden to be automatically approved for admittance into the Rutgers-Camden Honors Program.
Starting in Fall 2011, high school students meeting the requirements of the program can enter the Honors Program in their first semester at Camden County College.
The Honors Program is run by Jennifer Hoheisel, Professor of Philosophy and Ethics, who was also the college's 2010 Lindback Award winner for teaching excellence.
The Center For Civic Leadership and Responsibility, directed by Professor John Pesda, is part of Camden County College's outreach to the local community. It goal is to "create an informed citizenry with a heightened sense of civic responsibility..."[9] The mission of the center is to create an informed citizenry with a heightened sense of civic engagement and responsibility through exposure to the arts and humanities, the social and natural sciences as well as the critical issues in a democratic society.
To accomplish this goal the Center conducts of a yearly lecture series which brings prominent academics and intellectuals to speak at Camden County College. The lecture series brings leading scholars to Camden County College in order to discuss their scholarship. These lectures are organized around a central theme, usually topical to current events (such as the Rise of China and India) or local interest events (such as the lecture series on Cleopatra and Egypt while the Franklin Institute hosted a Cleopatra exhibit). The lecture series has hosted scholars from Yale, Rutgers, University of Pennsylvania, New York Metropolitan Museum of Art, Johns Hopkins University, Bob Brier of Long Island University, and Georgetown University. The lecture series has also received support from partnerships with University of Pennsylvania, the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, and several Philadelphia based museums.
The Center also conducts a large array of "mini-course" lectures on topics ranging from the Rise of Empires to Baseball's Role in Popular Culture. This lectures and mini courses are open free-of-charge to the public and endeavor to help people to gain the knowledge and tools necessary to become informed active participants in the social and political processes of American society.
The programs of the Center also count towards professional development credit for teachers .
Part of the Center's new programs includes a lecture and workshop series concerning Autism and Education. Begun in 2010, this program aims to bring together educators and professionals in order to better understand the needs of autistic spectrum students. The series has also had workshops for first responders, parents and other members of the public who may engage with autistic individuals without knowing it beforehand.
The 2010 Lecture Series centered on the life and times of Cleopatra and was closely linked to the Cleopatra exhibit at the Franklin Institute. "Cleopatra's World," presented with the aid of a grant from the New Jersey Council for the Humanities, was a series of six lectures conducted by preeminent scholars such as Bob Brier of C.W. Post, Jeremy McInerney of the University of Pennsylvania, David Silverman, Stephen Phillips and Jennifer Houser Wegner of the Penn Museum, Tracy Musacchio of the John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and Leslie Anne Warden of the West Virginia Institute of Technology. The lecture series was so popular it had to be moved to a larger venue - the 600 seat Dennis Flyer Theater. A reception/birthday party was held at the end of the lecture series to commemorate Cleopatra's 2,080th birthday.[10]
In 2010, the recipient of the Civic Leadership Award went to former New Jersey Governor James Florio for his attention to education, the environment and gun control.
Camden County College currently hosts a number of international, national and state honors societies.
The Lindback Award, previously known as the Teaching Excellence Award, is the highest award given to faculty members at Camden County College. It has been granted since 1982. Thirty-five faculty members have won the award. [1] In 1998, in response to faculty members' assertions that the award reflected faculty contributions to the college's status rather than actual teaching performance, the award became known as the Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching. It is funded by the Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation.
