Due to current weather reports, we have made the difficult decision to move the Gloucester Campus Commencement Ceremony to Saturday, May 11 at 11:00 a.m. We understand the strain this may put on you and your family’s schedules, but we hope to provide an enjoyable experience and one that does not need to be canceled entirely. Gloucester Campus Commencement details can be found on the webpage at RCSJ.edu/Commencement/Gloucester. Graduates, arrive at 9:45 a.m. on Saturday.
