CAMDEN -- Moorestown resident Cynthia Muir Quinton has been named assistant dean for development at the Rutgers University School of Business at Camden.
In her new position, Quinton will identify and secure major gifts for the Rutgers-Camden business school, which enrolls 461 upper-division undergraduate and 301 graduate students. Funds raised will support such initiatives as student scholarships, advanced classroom teaching tools, faculty development, and programs that address local community and business needs.
Prior to her arrival at the Camden campus of Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, Quinton served as vice president of development and board relations at The Haddonfield Symphony. In this capacity, she generated support from individuals, foundations, government sources, and corporations to advance the performance and service missions of the symphony.
Quinton previously served as a major gifts officer at Urban Promise Ministries, where she oversaw a $1.9 million capital campaign to build a the Samuel J. Paparone Student Center in East Camden. She also served as development director for Haddonfield Friends School and consultant to the president of MEND (Moorestown Ecumenical Neighborhood Development), Inc.
She has served on the executive board of the Juvenile Diabetes Foundations southern New Jersey chapter; the board of the Advancement of Delaware Valley Independent Schools organization; and the Newtown Friends Youth Center, where she is a founding board member. Quinton also is active with the development committee of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Camden and Compassionate Leaders of Camden.
Cynthia Quinton has a proven track record of success in raising funds to support the vital missions of key regional organizations, says Mitchell P. Koza, dean of the Rutgers-Camden business school. We are confident that her efforts will produce new opportunities for the students, faculty, staff, and graduates of our business school, as well as the organizations that we serve here in New Jersey and across the nation.
