MAYS LANDING — Atlantic Cape Community College announced Victor Moreno, senior manager, Special Projects for Student Affairs and Enrollment Management, as its 2024 Employee of the Year during a breakfast ceremony on Monday, January 8 at the Mays Landing campus.

In recognition of this honor, Atlantic Cape President Dr. Barbara Gaba presented Moreno with a commemorative plaque, an Amazon gift card and a reserved parking space for one year. Each full-time employee who was nominated received an Amazon gift card as well. Gaba also commended the 39 full-time employees, who were nominated for this year’s award, for their dedication to the college, its staff, students and alumni, and for their longevity as well.

“What a surprise,” said an enthusiastic Moreno. “I share this with everyone here. We all enjoy working here. Many of us have been here for many years and we all do it because we all generally love what we do and we all strive to service our students and staff and be as welcoming to everyone as possible. It is a true joy working here at the college, it has been a pleasure and thank you everyone.”

Moreno began his career at Atlantic Cape in 2009 as a part-time employee in the Counseling and
