RCBC unveils Student Success Center, campus redesign

New 75,000-square-foot center has been described as centerpiece of Rowan College at Burlington County redesign
By ZANE CLARK
The Sun
Rowan College at Burlington
County has officially unveiled the
first images of its new Student
Success Center and transformed
Mt. Laurel campus.
The new construction and redesign come as the college continues plans to transform Mt. Laurel
into the colleges main campus
and close the former main campus in Pemberton Township.
The Mt. Laurel site has more
students enrolled than all of the
colleges other sites combined, as
enrollment has drastically shifted
over the past decade.
The new 75,000-square-foot Student Success Center has been described as the centerpiece of the
redesign and will be positioned to
face Route 38 and form a quad
with the existing buildings on
campus.
Rowan College at Burlington
County President Paul Drayton
said the building is expected to
cost around $22 million, although
the expenses have not yet been finalized.
Drayton said the college expects construction to start sometime in August or September,
with work completed by the end
of 2017.
In describing the building,
Drayton said it was designed to

Special to The Sun

On April 5, Rowan College at Burlington County unveiled images of its new Student Success Center that will soon be built on its Mt. Laurel
campus. The new building comes as RCBC transitions its main campus from Pemberton to Mt. Laurel. Pictured is a rendering of the south
side of the proposed building that will face Route 38.
focus on students needs now and
as the college moves into the next
10 or 15 years. Plans for the building include the colleges bookstore, dining services, library or
knowledge commons, financial
aid offices, student-counseling
services, study areas and more.
We want this building to be
their building, not something that
were designing for our tastes but

what really meets the needs of

our students, Drayton said.
Mark Coan of USA Architects,
Planners + Interior Designers,
which is managing the design of
the new building, echoed Drayton
and said the new building would
be the most student-centric facility on campus.
Coan described the two-story
building as consisting of two

block sections connected by an

atrium. Dining spaces will fill out
the northern right section of the
building facing the quad, while
areas for the bookstore and partners of RCBC are toward the
south side of the building facing
Route 38.
We want this building to be a
magnet for students and faculty
from the existing quadrangle so

we have this welcoming edge,

Coan said.
Coan said much of the building
interior will have a living room
concept to make a space where
students feel like theyre at home.
The outside of the building facing Route 38 will have brick-like
tones to match other buildings on

When the Mount Laurel Green

Team was created in 2010, the
group consisted of five people.
This volunteer committee run
by the township has now grown
to more than a dozen active members and often sees well more
than 50 people at its annual township cleanups held every April.
This years cleanup will be held
on April 16 from 9 a.m. to noon.
The group will meet at the
township community center and
set out to beautify a number of
areas in town by cleaning up litter.
Volunteers will be provided
with gloves, bags and snacks after
their morning of work.
This trash is an eyesore and
would eventually end up pollut-

ing our rivers and oceans if it is

not collected, secretary of the
Green Team Ed Cohen said. It is
also an excellent opportunity to
see some Mt. Laurel open space
up close.
Alongside township manager
and chair of the Green Team
Maureen Mitchell, Cohen has
been the secretary of the team for
the last five years.
I joined the team to help encourage sustainable practices in
Mt. Laurel by residents, visitors,
businesses and the township itself, he said.
Cohen said each persons reason for joining the team is different. Everyone comes to the Green
Team with their own passion,
whether that is recycling,
cleanups, gardening or other reasons.
The group focuses on letting

due to the sudden onset of multiple leaks in this area during the
past summer, said Brian Dippolito, water distribution supervisor.
Although the piping still met
all regulatory requirements, the
authority felt that customers in
this neighborhood were not receiving an acceptable level of
service.
Some areas of Mt. Laurel have
soil that is highly corrosive causing buried pipes to rust on the
outside thereby causing leaks and
shortened pipe life.

in our opinion

Animals need statewide support

The solution to homeless animal problem is education, from the top down
his is the final week in The
Suns Help for Homeless Pets
series. For four weeks, we have
looked at the state of homeless pets in
our region. We interviewed heads of
animal shelters, volunteers with rescues and foster families. We talked intake numbers, live release rates and
this week how to potentially solve
such a staggering problem.
Theres no easy solution.
All of these non-profits are playing
a huge role in a very public problem.
Theyre doing the best they can and
the best they can is nothing to sneeze
at but unfortunately, its not enough.
What these non-profits need is more
public support.
All of our interviewees agreed that
a big part of moving forward is education about the vital importance of
spaying and neutering, about ensuring all pets are microchipped, about
the lifetime commitment of owning a
pet.
This is what we believe the next step

is an organization that spearheads

the homeless animal education campaign. There is no public education
about homeless animals at the state
level, and thats where this should
start. Think Click It or Ticket.
Think Drive Sober or Get Pulled
Over. These programs have state
funding to target a statewide problem
that needs fixing, and homeless animals are most definitely a statewide
problem that needs to be fixed.
Its true there are excellent education campaigns already in place at a
local level. Our shelters and rescues
work hard to inform the public,
whether it is with advertising low-cost
spay and neuter clinics or offering free
training seminars for problem pets.
But everything comes down to money,
and between feeding and housing animals, paying employees and purchasing much-needed items for facilities,
these shelters and rescues even
banded together within towns and
counties can only do so much in the

realm of educating the public.

There is strength in numbers. What
if there were more groups such as the
Camden County Animal Alliance, and
each had a representative who reported to one state-level organization?
What if these alliances helped create a
state-run alliance solely focused on educating the public on finding a solution to the homeless animal problem?
The overarching goal of every animal shelter and rescue is to not exist.
Are the employees and volunteers of
these organizations passionate? Of
course they are. But that doesnt mean
they would rather not be needed, because if theyre not needed, that
means every homeless animal every
last dog, cat, rabbit and hamster has
a home.
And to make this happen, there
needs to be more public support.
There needs to be more public education. And if the state government got
behind it, we would be one step closer
to a home for every homeless pet.

Where do we go from here?

As animal shelters across the region continue to strive
to increase their live release rate, they place a specific focus
on collaborating to reach this common goal
By SEAN LAJOIE
The Sun
Thousands of animals find
themselves in local shelters each
year, with no permanent home
through adoption guaranteed.
Solving a problem of this magnitude will undoubtedly take
years, but it is clear animal shelters across South Jersey have a
plan.
We think the demand for our
service will continue to grow,
Animal Welfare Association Executive Director Maya Richmond
said. One thing we can always be
sure about moving forward is
people always having love for animals.
It will just be a matter of if
these organizations can properly

capitalize and collaboratively

tackle this common goal in an efficient manner.

Increasing family involvement

The behind-the-scenes planning to reduce homeless animals
requires extensive research, and
shelters across the region are
doing their homework. The

Pet ownership is a lifetime commitment

Consider all responsibilities of pet ownership before bringing home a new furry friend
By KRISTEN DOWD
and BRIGIT BAUMA
The Sun
Pet
ownership
is
a
lifetime commitment, Vicki
Rowland said. Pets are our children.
Rowland, the executive director of the Camden County Animal Shelter, cant stress enough
the importance of understanding the responsibility that
comes
along
with
pet

ownership.
Clearly (the CCAS) is offering a service to those who, at the
end of the day, theres absolutely
no hope for that person keeping
their pet. Thats what were here
for, Rowland said. But then
theres always the other side of
that coin. They may adopt a cute
puppy, but then it grows up and
its too much. They dont think it
through.
Thinking through an adoption is just one way local shel-

ters and homeless pet advocates

say the problem of homeless
pets can be helped. Find out
more suggestions below.

Ways to reduce the number

of homeless animals
Consider all responsibilities
of pet ownership before adopting your pet. Remember, as Rowland said, that pet ownership is a
lifetime commitment for that animal.

Have a problem pet? Dont

give up. Talk to your vet and invest in a trainer if pet behavior
is becoming an issue.
Microchip your pet and keep
the information up-to-date. Have
your pet wear an ID tag. I think
that is good for people to know,
Barbara Agnew, adoptive parent
to four dogs, said. Get your dog
microchipped and make sure it
has a tag on it.
If you see a homeless pet, report it. Dont assume someone

else already did.

Spay and neuter your pet.
Neutering or spaying pets is a
real way to prevent more homeless pets being out in the world,
Eric Arpert, Burlington County
public
information
officer,
said.
If you absolutely cannot
keep your pet, never abandon it.
Surrender your pet to a reputable shelter or rescue that is
equipped to find the animal the
best placement.

Richmond: Non-profit rescues have grown, but donations have not

make them feel comfortable,
Richmond said.
The executive director of the
Camden County Animal Shelter,
Vicki Rowland, believes the economy has an impact on family involvement.
More people would get involved if they had more time,
Rowland said.
Families are often deterred
from experimenting with the idea
of fostering or adopting animals
because they believe it would be
too much of a financial burden.
However, with organizations
such as the CCAS, it is completely
free. The rescue provides everything it takes to care for a foster
pet. According to Rowland, the
major challenge it faces is getting
the word out to families that fostering is free, fun and rewarding.
The organization recently got
involved in targeting feral cats
an animal Richmond agreed is
being brought into shelters more
frequently.
Owner reclaims of animals
that come into CCAS are not especially high, specifically for cats.
Historically, Rowland said re-

claims of cats are less than 2 percent of intake compared to 12 percent of dogs.
Getting phone calls from residents concerned about feral cats
living in their town is not uncommon for local shelters and rescues.
Were still trying to brainstorm action steps, Rowland
said. How do we answer the
questions and provide the solutions for those people who call?
The CCAS looks to continue to
educate and provide appropriate
resources for families moving forward to help them deal with these
problems and get involved with
shelters.

Building regional relationships

Over the last 15 to 20 years,
non-profit rescues have continued
to grow. However, donations have
not.
According to Richmond, this
has set up a dynamic the shelter
community needs to be aware of.
We need to work more collaboratively, maybe even combine
some shelters in order to reduce
cost so animals can get more,
Richmond said.
One Love Animal Rescue
Chairwoman
Sherri
Smith
agreed with Richmond in the
sense that she would rather see

existing shelters get funded more

appropriately instead of creating
more.
I would like to see those existing organizations be able to expand discounted or free veterinary services to the community,
be able to create educational and
outreach programs for the community, and be able to create and
support more programs to get
shelter pets trained to assist individuals who need companionship
or special help, Smith said.

Rowland has noticed a trending decline in intake over the last

five years.
Five years ago, I was taking
over 6,000 animals a year, and
now Im taking nearly 4,000 animals a year, Rowland explained.
I dont believe the number of
shelters and rescues in New Jersey will increase in the future.
In 2011, the Camden County
Animal Alliance began bringing
organizations together when it
joined the CCAS, Animal Welfare

Association, Animal Adoption

Center, Voorhees Animal Orphanage and Independent Animal Control to help improve the
services it provides to animals
and communities. The alliance
now meets once a month with a
focus on continuing to look for
partnerships with struggling
communities.
For example, the AWA recently
started bringing in animals from

that doesnt have great exposure.

Spay/neuter targeting
The promoting of targeted
spaying and neutering has become a top priority of shelters
statewide.
Specifically-targeted
spay/neuter is one of our goals in
trying to prevent pet overpopulation, Rowland said.
The AWA focuses on continuing to commit efforts toward underserved communities or what it
refers to as deserts of services.
We try to be proactive and
mindful of their situations so we
are not degrading anybody, but
being there to support their community and building trust and
providing resources to them,
Richmond said.
The AWA is making a particular effort to have cats spayed or
neutered due to the rising number of feral cats in the area. The
CCAS recently hosted its first cat
clinic targeted toward Camden
residents. The clinic, subsidized
by
a
grant,
offers
free
spay/neuter surgeries and vaccinations. About 10 cats were
spayed or neutered at this first
clinic.
It went well, Rowland said.
Were really trying to supply outreach to Camden as far as offering the services to an area that
doesnt have them already offered.

The clinics will continue until

the grant obligation is fulfilled,
meaning 130 cats will be spayed
or neutered. Another clinic is
planned this month.
We will keep spreading the
word spay /neuter your pets! It
wont change until this is widely
accepted by everyone as the only
way to responsibly care for your
pet, Smith said.

Objectives
The No. 1 goal of all these organizations is to eventually reach
a 100 percent live release rate.
But with each new animal
brought, a new challenge is presented.
I dont have a choice of what
comes in. I have to take all owner
surrenders and extreme cases,
Rowland said.
To increase adoption rates at a
record pace, One Love works extremely hard to portray rescue
and adoption in a positive light.
We have good cameras and
make sure our photos of adoptable dogs are more like a dreamy,
happy portrait than a sad, dark
photo of an animal behind kennel
bars, Smith said.
The rescue wants people to associate adopting a rescue pet with
the amazing and positive experience they truly believe it to be.
It is our goal to show how glorious and rewarding it is to foster
and/or adopt an animal in need,
Smith said.
To do this and in turn raise
adoption rates, the group has set
a number of objectives.
It continues to grow its communication plan with surrounding shelters and its online follow-

ing by enhancing its website and

social media experience. It posts
things such as happy family adoption photos and photos that show
the progress of rescue pets to
shine the positive light on what
can come of the services with the
help of families in the area.
It is also constantly looking to
expand communication when it
comes to the local available pets
in shelter to understand as much
as possible about each pets behavior and medical services.

The Green Team educates others and encourages smarter

choices.
A prime example of this would
be the groups encouraging of the
township to reduce mowing by
planting wildflowers. The reduction of mowing saves money, provides more natural space and reduces pollution caused by mowing.
Cohen expressed a specific
fondness toward the education
and outreach aspect of the Green
Team.
The group will be hosting a
question and answer with certified master gardener Joan Johnson at the community garden on
April 30, a free movie about climate change followed by a discus-

sion panel on May 17 and a

Monarch Butterfly presentation
on June 5.
The team also plans to host a
shredding event at the same time
as the cleanup on April 16. Folks
are encouraged to bring their
bags and/or boxes of papers to be
shredded and then join the
cleanup next door.
One-hundred percent of the
shredded paper from this event is
recycled, Cohen said.
The Green Team makes it a priority to host regular meetings in
a fun, productive and educational
manner. Anyone interested in becoming a team member is encouraged to attend these meetings.
To make significant changes,
the community as a whole must
recognize that everything they do
and everything they dont do
makes a difference. Most people
are busy, but the Mount Laurel
Green Team would love to reach
them and get greater involve-

ment, Cohen said.

Charity lemonade stand April 23

Join 9-year-old Mt. Laurel residents Courtney and Sabrina in
April when they set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the
Alexs Lemonade Stand Foundation. Sabrina and Courtney were
recently challenged to make a difference in their community by
their third grade GAP teacher
Mrs. Kuchera at Springville Elementary. In class, they learned
how one child could make a big
difference, and the girl they most
admired was Alex from Alexs
Lemonade Stand. Alexs Lemonade Stand was originally started
by Alexandra "Alex" Scott, who
died of cancer in 2004 at the age of
8. On her first birthday, she was
diagnosed with neuroblastoma,
and once she reached the age of
two, Alex could finally crawl and
stand with her leg braces.

Although Alex had prolonged

hospital stays, one day she told
her mother, When I come out of
this place, I want to have a lemonade stand and donate the money
to children like me.
Even though she wanted to
help herself, she wanted to help
others with cancer as well.
With that message in mind,
Courtney and Sabrina will be
holding a lemonade stand
fundraiser on April 23 from 9 a.m.
to noon at 5 Daylily Drive.
Courtney and Sabrina ask the
community for help in making
Alexs dream come true one cup
at a time. Donations are also accepted at the webpages Courtney
and
