Rohrer College of Business Awards 2020
A Message from Assistant Dean Murtha
On behalf of the Rohrer College of Business, I want to congratulate all of our 2019-2020 award winners and scholarship recipients. The RCB faculty and staff are consistently in awe of the great accomplishments of our students and your ability to thrive in unprecedented circumstances. Though we could not formally celebrate these successes at our annual award ceremony this year, we want to let you know that we are proud of you and are excited to see what you accomplish in the future! You continue to make us Rowan Proud!
I would also like to thank Alex Boyko, Bureau of Business Associations (BOBA) Club President, for his hard work and dedication this year. Alex, who was scheduled to be our student speaker at commencement, worked diligently with our student club members and RCB administration to help ensure his fellow students had fulfilling and memorable educational experiences. Thanks, Alex, and congratulations Class of 2020!
