We join the PCCC community in mourning the loss of a respected leader, the longest serving college president in New Jersey, whose legacy shaped not only his institution, but the broader community college sector. President Rose was a steadfast champion for student access, opportunity, and success.
Our thoughts are with his family, colleagues, and the many students whose lives he touched. His impact will be enduring, and he will be deeply missed.
