Collegiate Chamber

Mission:

The Collegiate Chamber is a network of emerging business leaders seeking to expand their education and workforce opportunities through activities that support the objectives of the MRCC, provide real world business experiences and ultimately, create and sustain a superior pool of talent in the Mercer region.

Collegiate Chamber members accomplish this by participating in mutually beneficial MRCC projects, activities, events and goals; building and strengthening relationships between commerce, colleges and the community; promulgating and taking advantage of local job, internship and career opportunities; creating Collegiate Chamber programs and events; and providing a voice for business and economic issues facing local college students

The Collegiate Chamber works very closely with the Chamber’s
Young Business Leaders Council.

Participating Institutions:

Rider University
The College of New Jersey
Mercer County Community College

Membership:

College level students will be invited to join their Campus Chapter of the Collegiate Chamber. Once they join, they also become a member of the Mercer Regional Chamber of Commerce (MRCC). As a member, they are entitled to the benefits and privileges of MRCC membership.

Dues for membership will be determined by each campus. Each Campus Chapter will pay an Annual Charter Fee to the Chamber in the amount of $200.00. by October 1.

MRCC will annually seek corporate sponsorship for the overall Collegiate Chamber program. This funding will support regional Collegiate Chamber events and meetings only.
