Student Support Services

August 31, 2018

The Camden County College Food Pantry is scheduled to open on both the Blackwood and Camden Campuses this fall. Plans have been finalized with the Food Bank of South Jersey and local organizations to offer this service to our students.

The EOF Summer Program culminated on July 26 with a Peer Reception where summer program participants and several of our EOF renewal students were able to meet and began to network. Jenea Davis and Lisa Gibson-Kellum encouraged students to use every resource available to them and to keep in close contact with their advisors who will work with them to provide support and direction. They day concluded with a pizza lunch and a tour of the Blackwood campus.

The library is in the process of re-configuring the second floor to accommodate more group study space and to fulfill the College’s need for a Reflection Room for all students to access.

Librarian, Elayna Turner re-designed the library home page to more closely resemble the College home page.
