Media Campaign
Contact Professor Dan Cook (Childhood Studies Department): dtcook@camden.rutgers.edu
Purpose: Continuing to speak with the media about our opposition to the merger proposal and support for a consortium plan,
pointing out the assets our proposal brings to South Jersey,
instead of the unknown and likely highly expensive merger plan.

Dedicated Website
We are preparing a dedicated website where members can easily reach out to members of the Board of Governors (BOG) and Board of Trustees (BOT) to point out problems with the merger plan and the advantages of a consortium plan. The webiste will have our media links, press releases, and other information. We'll let you know when it is up and running.
