It was a wonderful evening at Eastlyn Golf Course & The Greenview Inn! Special thanks to the staff for the exceptional food, service and hospitality.

We had the pleasure of bringing together our donors, supporters, colleaugues, and new community friends for a night of cocktails and conversation, and honestly, it was exactly what we needed. We had a chance to slow down, say thank you, and share the heart behind what we do at the College of South Jersey Foundation.

We ended the the evening feeling grateful for the people who have supported us this year, energized by the new faces eager to get involved, and excited about everything we have planned for the year ahead at Rowan College of South Jersey Gloucester Campus and Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland Campus

To our supporters, none of this happens without you. Thank you!!

The Rowan College of South Jersey Foundation joins communities everywhere in celebrating Pride Month this June.

Our mission has always been rooted in access, equity, and opportunity — and that mission is inseparable from our commitment to LGBTQ+ inclusion. We believe that when every student feels safe, respected, and affirmed, our entire community thrives.

This month, we honor the LGBTQ+ pioneers whose advocacy paved the way, celebrate the vibrant identities that enrich our campus community, and reaffirm our dedication to creating an environment where all people can learn, grow, and succeed without barriers.

To every student, faculty member, and community partner who is part of the LGBTQ+ community — thank you for being an essential part of who we are at RCSJ.

Memorial Day isn’t just a day off. It’s a reminder that the freedoms we enjoy every day came at a real cost, paid by real people who gave everything.

At the foundation, we don’t take that lightly. Today we pause, we remember and we say thank you as we honor the fallen.

The Rowan College of South Jersey Foundation is pleased to announce the issuance of a Request for Investment Advisory Proposals (RFIP) as part of a routine review of its investment management services.

The Foundation currently manages approximately $7.6 million in assets, including endowment and quasi-endowment funds, scholarship funds, and board-designated reserves. We are seeking proposals from qualified investment advisory firms with experience serving nonprofit and endowment clients.

This review is being conducted following a recent merger involving the Foundation's current advisory firm. It is not being initiated for cause and does not reflect dissatisfaction with current services. All qualified firms — including the Foundation's current interim advisory firm — are invited and encouraged to submit a proposal and will be evaluated on equal terms.

Proposals are due by May 29, 2026. Key dates are as follows:
RFIP Issued: May 8, 2026
Deadline for Written Questions: May 18, 2026
Submission Deadline: May 29, 2026
Committee Review & Finalist Interviews: Early June 2026
Board Consideration / Final Selection: June 19, 2026

The full RFIP can be viewed by visiting https://www.rcsj.edu/legalnotices . It outlines the scope of services requested, proposal requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions.

All questions regarding this RFIP must be submitted in writing to me no later than May 18, 2026. Responses to all questions received will be compiled and distributed to all participants and prospective respondents within three (3) business days following the question deadline.

Proposals may be submitted electronically in PDF format to [email protected] or mailed to:
