Pastor, Public Defender Joins RCBC Board Of Trustees

A public defender and a pastor is the newest member of the Rowan College at Burlington County Board of Trustees. Dorion B. Morgan joined the board on March 29, the college announced this week.

“As a lifelong Burlington County resident, Rowan College at Burlington County holds a special spot in my heart,” Morgan said. “My wife, Joy, served as an adjunct math professor for many years and I have fond memories of enjoying the college’s rich cultural offerings throughout my life. RCBC has certainly made some enormous strides in becoming the state’s top-ranked and fastest-growing community college and I thank the Burlington County Board of Chosen Freeholders for this wonderful opportunity to serve students and our communities.”

Morgan, who operates his own law office, has served as the Burlington Township Municipal Public Defender since 2003. His practice focuses on municipal court matters, real estate, criminal, landlord/tenant and adoptions. He has a juris doctorate from Rutgers University School of Law in Camden.

He is also the founder and senior pastor of the Restoration Station Christian Fellowship – a non-denominational multicultural Christian church that strives to positively impact the community through service and outreach.

“Mr. Morgan is a true leader who makes a difference in his community,” Burlington County Freeholder Director Kate Gibbs said. “I was privileged to serve as an RCBC trustee and know what an extraordinarily rewarding experience it was. Students in Burlington County will benefit from Mr. Morgan’s service.”

“Our trustees bring a broad and varied experience to our board, which gives us good insight into our communities and what we need to do to improve our programs,” Rowan College at Burlington County Board of Trustees Chair George Nyikita said. “We welcome Trustee Morgan and look forward to his contributions as we continue to make high-quality education affordable to everyone in our community.”
