About RCSJ Serves for 9/11 Day & the Nonprofit Exhibition
In recognition of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, RCSJ Serves will bring together students, faculty, staff, departments, clubs, community organizations, and nonprofit partners for a unified Week of Service across the Gloucester and Cumberland campuses of Rowan College of South Jersey.
This initiative is designed not only to commemorate the events of September 11, 2001, but to reflect and replicate the spirit of unity, compassion, resilience, and service that emerged in the days that followed.
