​​Rowan College of South Jersey hosted a ceremony that celebrated the establishment of the Lita Marcelo Abele (LMA) Women’s Institute for Business Studies at the College. The idea of the Women’s Institute for Business Studies was born from the mind of Abele, an American of Filipino descent, and president and CEO of US Lumber, Inc.
Abele established a $10,000 endowment that helped bring her idea of the Institute to fruition. The Rowan College Foundation matched her endowment with a $10,000 donation of its own. The intent of the Institute is to develop leadership skills, foster empowerment, and provide professional growth for women and minority women students at RCSJ whose goals are to enter and advance their careers in the field of business. The Institute is part of RCSJ’s Division of Business Studies.
