Also on hand Friday were a pair of lawmakers who graduated from Rowan: state Sen. Troy Singleton, D-Burlington, and Assemblyman Bill Moen, D-Camden.“The real RU is in Glassboro,” he said. “And I mean that sincerely. We continue to set the bar so high for all New Jerseyans to follow.”The $30 million donation from Shreiber will support scholarships toward vet degrees, making them more accessible, said Ali Houshmand, Rowan’s president.
