“It is truly an honor to recognize the President's Distinguished Alumni, who give of their time, talent, and resources to generously serve others in their communities, Atlantic Cape and its students,” said Jean McAlister, chief of staff, chief advancement officer, executive director, Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation.
