Meet the Dean
“Our students are number one for us and we wouldn’t be here without them. Our goal for every student is that they have ample opportunities to succeed in their field and that they feel supported, mentored, and taken care of from the moment they submit their application to RCSJ to the moment I shake their hand on the graduation stage and wish them the very best in their future careers.”
Dr. Dominic Puggi leads the development and management of business programs across the Gloucester and Cumberland campuses. With a deep commitment to aligning academic initiatives with industry needs, Dr. Puggi has played a pivotal role in expanding RCSJ’s business offerings, securing accreditations, and developing innovative curricula to prepare students for real-world success.

RCSJ’s premier partnership with Rastelli Foods enhances the College by providing students with unique opportunities to participate in hands-on, project-based learning using real-world examples from Rastelli and to pursue internships and job opportunities within the company, gaining experience and confidence in their field of study.
