COLLEGE MLK CELEBRATION TO FEATURE ACTOR'S PORTRAYAL OF KING

The Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. will live again during a Camden County College presentation to mark what would have been his 75th birthday.

The multimedia presentation "Touched By a King" will feature actor Kevin Q. Jackson orating as the slain civil rights leader. Also part of the event will be the performance of several gospel songs and the showing of vintage photos and film footage.

"Touched By a King" will take place in College Hall of CCC's Camden City Campus, which is located at Broadway and Cooper Street in Camden, on Friday, Jan. 23, 2004. The program is slated to begin at 11 a.m. and run approximately 90 minutes.

The national observance of the King holiday is set earlier that week. CCC is conducting its tribute several days later to coincide with students' return to campus for the spring semester.

The Philadelphia-born Jackson will use a number of King's well-known speeches to bring both the man and his work back to life. Jackson began his theatrical career in church productions, founded Rider University's Total Experience drama group and produced/directed the City of Camden's sesquicentennial production "Visions and Revisions." As an actor, he has performed stage roles in "Purlie," "Man of La Mancha," ""The Wiz," "Pajama Party" and "God's Trombones" and appeared on television programs such as "Captain Noah," "Dialing for Dollars" and "Black Perspective." A past performance of his King presentation is known to have moved NAACP chairman Julian Bond to tears.

Admission to "Touched By a King" is free. The public is invited to attend along with students, faculty, staff and administrators.

For further details, contact student life and activities director Margo Venable by telephone at (856) 227-7200, ext. 4282, or via e-mail at mvenable@camdencc.edu.

Citizens Bank is joining a number of private foundations and other philanthropic organizations to help Camden County College help Camden residents learn more to earn more.

A $5,000 gift from Citizens is allowing CCC to expand its Gateway Community Project, which provides adults with neighborhood-based GED, adult basic education and English classes. Over the last year, CCC has partnered with a number of Camden churches to provide city residents with the opportunity to complete these pre-collegiate courses. Such study fulfills many purposes, including self-satisfaction, improvement of life skills, preparation for college and - ultimately - entry into a career path.

Citizens Bank, which operates more than 825 branches in seven states, will present program administrators with a check during the next Gateway achievement ceremony. This event will begin at 6:30 p.m. TONIGHT, Thursday, Dec. 18, in Mount Calvary Baptist Church, 1196 Penn St., Camden, and also feature Citizens' presentation of Cat in the Hat dolls to the children of program enrollees.

According to coordinator Dr. Gary D. Rodwell, those who would most benefit from GED/ABE/ESL education often lack confidence about learning, are hesitant to venture out of their neighborhoods and are intimidated by the thought of returning to a classroom setting. In response, CCC offers classes through the institutions in which they may be most comfortable: Churches that they attend.

More than 100 students have completed at least one semester of Gateway studies, and several of them have since enrolled in college. Classes are held in the evenings and run twice weekly for two hours per night over a 15-week period. Students pay a $25 fee and receive $250 scholarships to cover tuition.

Funding has been provided by the United Way of Camden County ($11,400), the Danellie Foundation ($10,000), the Camden County Prosecutor's Office ($8,100) and the Camden Empowerment Zone Corp. Inc. ($5,000). An additional commitment for $40,000 has been received from Camden City Department of Health and Human Services.

Three part-time faculty members who have instructed the students of Camden County College for a combined total of 39 years have received CCC's 2003 awards for adjunct teaching excellence.

Rupina Prabhakar of Marlton (English as a second language) was selected from the Division of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences. Linda Pinto of Sewell (mathematics skills) was selected from the Division of Math, Science and Health Careers. Joseph Lee of Bridgeton (computer information systems) was selected from the Division of Business, Computers and Technical Studies.

Prabhakar has been an ESL adjunct since 1995 and is the only ESL instructor at CCC who instructs deaf and hard of hearing students. According to her colleagues, she has distinguished herself through the attention that she pays to student needs. In addition to teaching, Prabhakar has developed and presented the workshop "Strategies of Teaching ESL Students in Mainstream English Classes" at Rutgers University and was an invited panelist for CCC's forum "What Deaf Students Want You to Know About Having a Hearing Loss in a Mainstream Classroom."

Pinto has been a math skills adjunct since 1992 and is the part-timer that the department counts on to always say "yes" during an emergency. According to her colleagues, she is the epitome of a team player who has taken over classes in mid-semester when faculty have fallen ill and come in on snowy days for review sessions when other faculty have canceled their classes. In addition to teaching, Pinto has served as a placement-test proctor and worked in the Tutoring Center.

Lee has been a computer information systems adjunct since 1983 and is known for bringing a wealth of industry experience to the courses that he teaches. According to his colleagues, he is prized for the expertise shown in his database administration classes using Oracle and his UNIX system analysis and design classes. In addition to teaching, Lee serves on the college's Computer Information Systems Advisory Board and was instrumental in the development of the college's new relational database management system certificate program.

The Camden County College Foundation has begun a new partnership that will provide low-income single mothers who attend CCC with money to purchase reading materials for their courses.

Officials of the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation recently signed an agreement with the college to provide $5,000 per year toward student textbook purchases. These monies will be distributed to qualified students as 10 awards of $250 each semester.

Lauren Rose Albert, a 40-year-old mother of three, was killed in an automobile accident in Morocco in 1999. The Cherry Hill-based organization named in her honor was begun so that her family and friends could keep her generous and spirited memory alive through community service. The Lauren Rose Albert Foundation strives to help others build better lives so that they may realize their potential and make their own contributions to society.

Initiatives enacted by the foundation aim to provide "a safety net for women in need." These include "Mothers Matter" gift baskets for women's shelter residents, a road-safety program, scholarships to graduating high school seniors and the college-assistance book fund that will help CCC students starting in Spring 2004.

According to Albert's mother, Susan Rose, women struggling to work a low-income job, raise children and attend school often find that "purchasing course-related books and materials means a choice between being prepared for class or giving up a household necessity." No one trying to improve her life and the life of her children, Rose said, should have to make such a choice.

College president Dr. Phyllis Della Vecchia agreed. She noted that contributions of organizations such as the Lauren Rose Albert Foundation are vital in CCC's efforts to serve its community.

"Gifts like this," Della Vecchia said, "mean so much."

The many hands that worked to start a new future for the City of Camden have been applauding as Camden County College has opened the city's first new commercial venture to be completed under the Camden Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act.

The 13,500-square-foot University District Bookstore occupies the first floor of Camden County College's eight-story Camden Technology Center, the rest of which will open in early 2004. The store combines shopping, dining and socializing space inside a coffeehouse-style atmosphere. Amenities include a range of general titles and textbooks, comfortable chairs and an Internet cafe stocked with sandwiches, sweets, coffee and other beverages. As a result, the University District Bookstore provides a convenient place where students from the Camden campuses of CCC, Rutgers and Rowan can find all of the materials necessary to satisfy their scholastic and between-classes needs. Just as importantly, the facility also provides an attractive location for the public to gather for reading and relaxation.

This sort of academic and cultural addition to the City of Camden was exactly what Gov. James E. McGreevey had in mind when he signed the Camden Rehabilitation and Economy Recovery Act in 2002. This measure is intended to restore urban Camden to its former status as the cultural and economic center of South Jersey through the development of initiatives involving higher education, housing, public safety, infrastructure, business and medical care.

The bookstore's official opening was marked by all segments of the Camden community during a ribbon-cutting ceremony earlier this fall. Celebrating along with students and residents were administrators from each of the institutions that make up the city's hub for higher education. These included Rutgers University-Camden provost Dr. Roger J. Dennis, Rowan University provost Dr. Helen Giles-Gee, members of the Camden County College Board of Trustees and CCC president Dr. Phyllis Della Vecchia.

"This bookstore, like the entire facility, is the result of the cooperative work of many hands," Della Vecchia noted. "To the state, county and city officials; our higher education partners; the architects and engineers; and all of our honored guests assembled this morning, please know that we truly appreciate the partnerships and strategic alliances that have contributed to making this day a reality."

Among the government leaders who participated in the event were state Sen. Wayne R. Bryant, who was one of the architects of the $175 million Camden Rehabilitation and Economic Recovery Act, and Assemblyman Lou Greenwald. Joining them were Camden City Council President Angel Fuentes, Executive Assistant to the Mayor of Camden Tony C. Evans and Freeholder Riletta L. Cream.

"Today marks a milestone in the history of Camden because we give further substance to the Camden University District for the continued expansion of Camden County College, Rutgers University-Camden and Rowan University, as well as our K-12 institutions," Cream said. "This is more than a bookstore. It is an investment in education, in the city and in our future."

Also on hand for the event were officials from Follett Higher Education Group, the company that is managing and operating the bookstore. These included Steve Pribyl, who is Follett's senior vice president for sales and operations, and Mary Alice Diehl, who is the store's on-site manager.

Camden County College student John-Michael DeSheplo was a frequent stage presence, performing in and working behind the scenes on a number of CCC theatrical productions. An accomplished cellist, he also played many concerts as a member of the Philharmonic Orchestra of Southern New Jersey, the Rowan University Orchestra and the Camden County College Jazz Ensemble. Each semester, he also lent his instrumental and vocal skills to shows staged by CCC's dance students.

Members of this last group will honor the memory of the 24-year-old DeSheplo, who died in July after a nine-year battle with brain cancer, during their fall recital this Friday and Saturday. Titled "Something Worth Leaving Behind," the event will serve as a testament to the Camden County College community's appreciation for this young man and his many talents.

"Something Worth Leaving Behind" will feature students in CCC's modern, jazz, ballet and movement classes performing student- and faculty-choreographed works to a variety of music. Selections will include the title piece, which is set to a Lee Ann Womack song. Adjunct faculty member Mariarosa Milorey directs.

In addition to celebrating DeSheplo's life, the recital will raise money to assist needy area families during the holidays. This production will mark the eighth time that the college's students of movement have danced to make a difference by letting their feet do the fund-raising.

Shows will be performed at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Nov. 7 and at 8 p.m. Nov. 8 in Dennis Flyer Memorial Theatre, which is located inside Lincoln Hall on the college's Blackwood Campus. Admission is just $3 per person
