Camden County College’s Center for Leadership and Responsibility in Blackwood offers widely diverse programs, short term “mini-courses” and other events for teacher continuing education credit and for the general public. Programs are offered at the Main Campus in Blackwood and also at The Rohrer Campus in Cherry Hill. In the past, the Center has offered speaking events and courses on the Civil War, Egypt, Cleopatra, Sex and Society, and “Boardwalk Empire”, The Tuskegee Airmen, among many others, and has featured renowned guest speakers, including historian and author David Eisenhower. The variation of what’s offered is limited only by the imagination of the Center’s Director, Dr. John Pesda, which is virtually limitless.
Jack Pesda is a true resource for Camden County College and the community at large. He is a knowledgeable, gracious and humorous speaker and host. His broad historical knowledge has been augmented by travels to the Middle East, China and many other regions. Dr. Pesda is a long standing Full Professor of History at the College.
The Center’s purposes are:
• To focus on the needs and interests of local citizens.
• To offer programming to the community, including professional development for teachers.
• To create an informed citizenry with a heightened sense of civic responsibility through exploration of humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and issues critical to a democratic society.
The Center invite scholars, scientists, government officials and business leaders to discuss societal issues and encourage open discourse.
Ample, free parking is conveniently available. A sampling of programs offered in Fall 2015 is shown below.
