Your Success is Our Business!

Leadership Seminar presented by Mike Gorman, Ed.D., President of Salem Community College to Chamber Members via a Business Education Seminar.

 

Starting July 1, Salem Community College will offer a discounted tuition rate of $125 per credit for Salem County Chamber of Commerce members, and municipal and Salem County government employees. 

The rate — a savings of $40 per credit — was approved by the Board of Trustees at its monthly meeting on May 19. 

“The reduced tuition rate is something nice to offer the working people of Salem County,” said President Mike Gorman.  “Naturally, we believe in education and how it is truly the solution to the world’s problems.  We hope that Chamber members and government employees will take advantage of this opportunity to further their education.”

Salem County Chamber of Commerce members or their employees may use the discount.  Salem County municipal employees work in public schools and for townships and boroughs, including police departments.  

The $125 per-credit rate starts in July and applies to all courses offered in the summer, fall and spring. Course fees may still apply.
