Alyssa Darden of Phillipsburg has been named the Inaugural Student Representative of the Raritan Valley Community College (RVCC) Foundation Board of Directors.
In her new role, Darden will have full voting authority and will bring a student perspective to the Board.
Darden, a Liberal Arts major focusing on Social Sciences, is an active student leader on campus. She currently serves as Vice President of Scholarship for the RVCC chapter of the Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society; was selected to participate in this year’s class of the highly competitive Sanofi Corporate Mentor Program; and was a featured student speaker at the College’s recent 50th Anniversary Gala.
