The three-year contract includes a two-year extension.
GLOUCESTER TOWNSHIP, NJ — The Camden County College Board of Trustees unanimously approved a three-year contract with a two-year extension for Camden County College President Donald A. Borden Tuesday night, the college announced.
Borden will make $203,918 a year, with a 2 percent increase each year. The contract is effective from July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022.
“It was the unanimous decision of the Board of Trustees to retain Don Borden to ensure continuity at the College as well as ensure that for the next three years, we maintain his strong leadership,” Camden County College Board of Trustees President John Hanson said. “In 2016, Don accepted a contract that was less generous than what the college typically offered in the past and this new contract is not significantly different than the last. I appreciate Don’s understanding and willingness to work with the board on the compensation side, in light of our difficult budget situation. The board is very pleased with Don’s leadership and with the work of all the staff Don has put into place under his leadership.”
Since Borden assumed the presidency in 2016, the college has achieved numerous milestones. It received re-accreditation from the Middle States Commission of Higher Education.
The college reorganized into two divisions, hired two new vice-presidents, four new deans, and several faculty members. It expanded on-campus bachelor’s degrees programs to include Rutgers-Camden, Rutgers School of Health Professionals, and Wilmington University.
“We are growing and expanding while maintaining our academic excellence, which is the forefront of our mission,” Borden said. “My goals are to continue to be student-centered while generating new partnerships with four-year universities for transfer and with businesses for job placement. Students attend College to obtain a better, sustainable life. Our motto is ‘Dream. Learn. Prosper.’ For a reason.”
