September 17, 2021
Trenton – Senate President Steve Sweeney was joined today by Deputy Speaker John Burzichelli at Salem Community College’s 2021 Homecoming to celebrate the school’s return to normalcy. The event featured food, music and a silent auction.
“The COVID-19 pandemic has hindered many lives, especially those of our students. Safely returning to campus is an essential first step in the right direction,” said Senator Sweeney (D-Gloucester/Salem/Cumberland). “Although the spread of the Delta variant has complicated some of the efforts to return to normalcy, we need to continue to work together to fight this unprecedented health crisis. My hope is that with a continued effort, we can continue to attend more events like Homecoming, safely, in the future.”
“Seeing Salem Community College’s staff and students come together to celebrate the beginning of the school year encouraged a feeling of hopefulness for the coming months,” said Assemblyman Burzichelli (D-Gloucester/Salem/Cumberland). “As students are welcomed back on campus while abiding by the proper health measures, it is our hope that we can see a true return to normalcy, with all able to have access to a higher education without the risk of a virtual learning loss, as we’ve seen in the past.”
“Homecoming is an evening to celebrate on many fronts. First, it marks the return of in-person events at your Salem Community College. Second, Homecoming celebrates our local healthcare heroes from Salem Medical Center and Inspira Health Network,” said Salem Community College President, Mike Gorman. “Third, we recognize the many generous Homecoming sponsors who have contributed $50,000 for scholarships. Finally, we pay tribute to Atlantic City Electric, Franklin Bank and PSEG Nuclear’s longtime commitment to partner with Salem Community College to improve the lives of Salem County residents.”
Salem Community College is a Middle States Commission on Higher Education accredited 2-year institution located in southern New Jersey.
