Human Resouces

December 10, 2018

HR Reminder

You must spend the money in your Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) by December 31, 2018 or risk losing it for good. 

You can use FSA dollars to pay for medical expenses that aren’t covered by a health plan, like co-pays, deductibles, dental and vision care, though eligible expenses can vary based on the plan. But if it’s nearing the end of the year and you haven’t used your money to help meet your deductible or pay medical expenses, you have the option of spending it on supplies.

Here are a few items that you can buy with your pre-tax money before you lose it: sunscreen, first aid kits, vitamins, high-tech healthcare (at-home defibrillator, nausea relief bands, vibrating shoe insoles, ovulation predictors), and travel pillows with orthopedic neck support.

By the 2019-20 year, the statements will have to be included with faculty promotions.

The CCC shuttle from the Camden City campus to the Blackwood Campus has been increased to meet student demand. The pilot is a success among students and continues to increase in ridership.


Career Services rolled out a weekly “hot job” spot that airs every Tuesday on the College radio station and all social media platforms. The goal is to build more awareness of career services. Career Services also held a Fall Career Fair on November 7 with over 50 employers. Additionally, our two Academic Divisions and the Career Services Department have scheduled offices hours on the Camden City campus to assist students.


The Library hosted a Zombie Apocalypse Scavenger Hunt on October 30. Students learned how to use the book catalog and then had to find books on the shelves. The event was supported by Student Life & Activities, WDBK, PTK Honor Society and a group of student volunteers who dressed as zombies to lurk in the book stacks. Thirty-five students participated.

The patron count at the Library for the month of October was 10,121. Over 1,335 items were checked out and almost 500 library cards were requested or renewed.


On November 14 the College held a ribbon cutting to mark the opening of The MarketPlace, our new food pantry. The MarketPlace, with locations in Camden and Blackwood, allows students to obtain food items for their homes for no cost at all.
