Recruiting next century’s teachers
 owan
alumni are playing a pivitol role in an innovative program—three
of the four veteran faculty members heading a GCC initiative are
graduates of Rowan.
In the next decade, an alarming number of New Jersey’s teachers
are expected to retire. This, combined with the lure of careers
in science and business for top students, is the motivation for
Gloucester County College’s ‘Teachers 2000’ program.
The goal is to attract
90 of the state’s better students to enroll in the school’s
education program.
Charles Harkins ’64, ’72, a communications professor,
helped develop GCC’s public information program. The former
coach also established the school’s sports hall of fame. He
resides in Glassboro. Michael Lindner ’68 is a professor
of sociology, though he has also worked in radio and television.
He resides in Clayton. Crystal Bacon ’77, a recognized
poet, is an associate professor of American literature. She resides
in Haddonfield.
