WINDSOR, N.J. -- Dr. Beverly A. Richardson, vice president of college
advancement at Mercer County Community College and long-time provost
at the college's James Kerney Campus in downtown Trenton, is retiring
this month after 28 years of service. During her tenure the James
Kerney Campus student population more than doubled, and Dr. Richardson
secured grant funding for numerous new initiatives to better serve
an urban population.
In recognition
of her accomplishments, Board Chair William E. Coleman Jr. announced
during the college's commencement ceremonies on May 21 that the
MCCC Board of Trustees voted to rename the James Kerney Campus Learning
Center the "Dr. Beverly A. Richardson Learning Center."
Dr. Richardson
has worked actively in efforts to revitalize Trenton, and serves
on many boards and commissions. She will continue her service on
the national College Board and on the Robert Wood Johnson University
Hospital Board, and plans to teach education and sociology classes
as an adjunct faculty member at Mercer. For the next year she will
be a participant in the American Association of Colleges and Universities
Millennium Leadership Initiative.
