Change is one of Rowan’s core values. The university is always changing—South Jersey’s collegiate darling—and with growth comes change. Take the new student center expansion, valued at over 31 million, or Campbell Library’s renovations. Rowan’s growing out of its normal school roots, notably since its push towards R1—a designation given to universities with the highest levels of research activity. It’s hard to imagine that there were once farms, once swamps, once anything but the bustling campus we see today–but our humble beginnings aren’t fiction. There’s someone within the little slice of campus called Robinson Hall who lived through a simpler era of Rowan.

A photograph of Nick Lotierzo tutoring a student. Both men are seated at a blonde wooden table in the CS drop-in tutoring room. There is a blackboard with various equations behind them, as well as brown, felt chairs lined up in a row against the beige wall. Nick is a young white man, wearing a long sleeved gray shirt pushed up to his elbows. He has brown hair swept to either side of his face. He has a thin brown beard. He’s pointing with a pencil at a tablet screen. The tablet is blue, with an electronic pen resting on top. The tutee is another white young man, with a partial beard and dirty blonde hair. He is wearing a gray AC/DC sweatshirt. He is looking to where Nick is pointing. On the table, you can see the top quarter of his silver laptop.
