Our Camden City Campus plays an important role in the ongoing renaissance in the city. The report, The Positive Impacts of Investments in Camden, NJ on Social Determinants of Health, chronicles the progress that has occurred there in the last six years. I feel that this important report should be referenced and studied as it accounts the impactful gains that have been made in the city in the areas of educational achievement and economic stimulation. I’m proud of the work we do in Camden and I’m grateful of the accomplishments that our faculty and staff have made that contributed to the findings in the report.
Former NFL star Vance Johnson shared his inspirational story of hope and courage with students at the Blackwood and Camden Campuses of Camden County College on February 26. Johnson rose to the top of the NFL in the late 80’s with the Denver Broncos and then fell from grace and almost died from his struggle with alcohol and opioid addiction. His message “Hope after Dope” is aimed at inspiring individuals to become champions on and off the field.
