Welcome

Most people recognize that community colleges are an affordable option for obtaining a college education, earning a certificate or gaining the knowledge to transition to a new career. What our students also know is that County College of Morris (CCM) offers a high-quality education taught by a faculty specifically focused on teaching and student success.

As you can see in this issue of “Connections,” CCM is where students – year after year – are able to excel and realize their dreams. Take, for example, the article on page 12 that shares the story of Charlotte Rodgers from the Class of 2015. Char-lotte is now enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania based on the strong academic record she established at CCM. She joins a long list of CCM graduates who have gone on to top colleges and universities across the country and in New Jersey.

On page 13, we offer another CCM success story – Michael Mazur, who earned his broadcasting degree here and is now an accomplished producer and filmmaker. Following his gradu-ation, he put together his first documentary, “Coming Clean,” which won Best International Documentary and The Audience Award at the New York International Independent Film Festival. Today, he has a long list of documentaries, commercials and videos to his credit.

Included among the opportunities CCM provides to help students succeed is our offering of Honors courses. As you can read on page 6, students who take 18 credits in Honors courses are able to graduate from CCM with an Honors degree, providing them with the academic standing to gain entrance into their dream schools.

Also featured in this issue on page 7 is the NJ STARS program that provides free tuition to the state’s community colleges for students who graduate high school in the top 15 percent of their class.

Community colleges were founded to provide people with opportunities to develop their potential. At CCM, we are privileged to be part of that. We’re also proud of our standing as one of the top community colleges in the state. I en-courage you to read through these pages and to visit us at www.ccm.edu to learn how CCM can enrich your life.

Sincerely,

Dr. Edward J. Yaw, President

NEWS and ACCOMPLISHMENTSCCM Students Win Multiple Awards and Honors

This past spring, County College of Morris (CCM) students once again demonstrated the value of their educational experiences – both in and out of the classroom – by winning multiple awards and recognitions in areas ranging from athletics, to cyber security, to graphic design, to radiography and more.

Basketball

Ryan Harris Named Second-Team All-American

After a season that saw him break the 1,000-point barrier at CCM, Titans point guard Ryan Harris, of Randolph, was named to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Men’s Bas-ketball All-America Second Team.

Harris finished the season aver-aging 25 points per game, earning third place in NJCAA Division II. For his efforts, he was also named to the Region XIX First Team and the All-Garden State Athletic Confer-ence First Team.

Harris stands third all-time on the CCM scoring list at 1,169 total points behind Derick Washington (1,257) and Peter Balfour (1,329).

Cyber Defense

CCM Team Finishes Seventh at Regional Finals

The CCM cyber defense team finished seventh at the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Cyber Defense Competition Regional Finals, held at Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Lab. The group was the only one from New Jersey to enter the competition. Sponsored by Raytheon, the team consisted of Kimberly Monka, of Denville, president of the CCM Cyber Security Club; Alexander Zielinski, of Lake Hiawatha; Brian Seligson, of Parsippany; Jared Rudow, of Wayne; Mihir Kansagra, of Rockaway; Sergiy Tsysarchuk, of Whar-ton; Shaun Carroll, of Landing; Patrick McGrath, of Towaco; Ryan Bednar, of Denville; and Rayne Cafaro, of Denville.

Golf

Erik Diamond Wins Region XIX Tournament

Erik Diamond, of Pompton Lakes, was the top performer at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region XIX Golf Tournament, winning the championship by shooting a two-day total of 153.

The Titans were just two strokes shy of the winning team score, combining for a 660 to place second. By virtue of his victory,

Diamond was named to the All-Region First Team. At this year’s Garden State Athletic Conference Tournament, the Titan team won with a score of 351. In 2014, the team won the Region XIX Tourna-ment by 27 strokes.

Graphic Design

Student Literary Magazine Wins Fourth Straight Design Award

The 2013-14 edition of “The Promethean,” the award-winning CCM student literary maga-zine, once again won a silver award in the education category of the 2015 American Inhouse Design Awards. This is the fourth consecutive year the student publication has been so honored.

“The Promethean” was judged against work produced by professional designers, as there are no student-only categories.

The 2013-2014 student staff for “The Promethean” was made up of graphic design students Duvan Agudelo, of Morris Plains; Jesse Amici, of Randolph; Chelsea Faresich, of Randolph; Kevin Nunes, of Roseland; and Robert Rivera, of Rockaway.

NEWS and ACCOMPLISHMENTSJournalism

Student Writers Win Trio of First Place Awards

Staff members of “The Youngtown Edition,” the student newspa-per at CCM, once again garnered several top-level honors from the New Jersey Collegiate Press Association. The newspaper's writers were presented with first place awards in the news writing, sports writing and overall website categories in the 2014-15 College Newspaper Contest.

Editor-in-Chief Chelsea Lauren Cattano, of Denville, was honored with first place for news writing and also took top prize for overall website and third place for feature writing. Senior Managing Editor Tayah Grace Swedlund, of Randolph, picked up a second-place award for news writing and third-place awards in both the sports and feature writing categories. Staff writer Stephanie Brady, of Long Val-ley, rounded out the victories with a first place award in sports writing.

Mathematics

CCM Students Rank within Top 10

Three CCM students ranked within the top 10 in the individual competition category at the 12th Annual Garden State Under-graduate Mathematics Conference held at Monmouth University.

Scott Schofield, of Denville; Paul Caravaglia, of Morristown; and Michael Masino, of East Hanover, ranked second, fifth and seventh respectively among the 33 community college participants. Among the total 102 participants, including those from four-year schools, Schofield ranked 22, Caravagila 27 and Masino 32. The competi-tion consisted of problems in calculus, linear algebra, differential equations, discrete math and number theory.

Radiography

Students Win Top Awards at Annual Radiography Conference

Radiography students at CCM not only gained a better under-standing of their field by attending the annual New Jersey Society of Radiologic Technologists meeting, several also won awards.

Blair Cooper, of Oak Ridge; Joenell O’Brian, of Landing; Katelyn Holder, of Randolph; and Danielle Titus, of Hopatcong, won first place in the radiography poster competition for their “Exit for the X-Ray” exhibit. Devin Lee, of Warren; Matthew Gross, of Long Val-ley; Jonathan Codispoti, of Flanders; and Joshua Schaikowitz, of Morristown, were awarded second place for their “Properties of X-Rays” poster. Gross also placed eighth out of more than 190 students who competed in a radiography trivia contest.

CCM Professors Participate in National Science Leadership ProgramKeri Flanagan, assistant professor of chem-

istry at County College of Morris (CCM) and Jenifer Martin, assistant professor of biology, joined a select group of teachers from across the nation this past summer at the 2015 Project Kaleidoscope Summer Leadership Institute II in Maryland.

As participants, the two were given the op-portunity to delve deeper into how to develop innovative STEM (science, technology, engi-neering and math) initiatives for students.

The opportunity to take part in the program followed a $199,999 National Science Founda-tion (NSF) grant awarded to CCM to support programs such as the college’s Pathways of Ap-

plied Career Experience (PACE) science initiative.

Also as part of the NSF grant, CCM science professors have been incorporating Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) activities into a number of classes. POGIL is a student-centered strategy that engages stu-dents in learning by having them work in small groups on projects that guide them toward the formulation of their own conclusions.

“With POGIL, the emphasis is on learning as an interactive process, rather than a solitary task of listening and memorization,” explains Flanagan, who is serving as the principal inves-tigator for the NSF grant.

Videos Shed a Light on the CCM ExperienceIf you want to know more about the experiences of students at County College of Morris (CCM), a great deal can be learned by visiting

the college’s video page at www.ccm.edu/videos.

Housed on that page are videos that share the stories of students and the expertise of faculty, along with some how-to-videos and several online tours of the college. It’s a fun and easy way to learn about the educational and financial value of starting at CCM.

National Scholarship Leads to Brown UniversityRenata Mauriz ’15, Associate in Arts, Liberal Arts

By Rick Burchfield

For Renata Mauriz, from the Class of 2015 at County College of Morris (CCM), learning created a sense of security, but her educa-tion wasn’t always guaranteed. She needed to push to get the opportunities to succeed.

The Succasunna resident was rewarded this past spring for her dedication when she was selected as one of 90 students nationwide to receive a Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Scholar-ship. That scholarship is providing her with up to $40,000 per year for two to three years to earn her bachelor’s degree at Brown University.

That opportunity is one she had been fighting for since she moved, with her mother and brother, to the United States from Brazil at the age of 12. Starting her education here in sixth grade as a speaker of Portuguese and without English fluency, she found herself in English as a Second Language classes.

“I wanted to learn English so badly,” Mauriz recalls. “I also knew education was my purpose. That’s why my mother brought me here.”

When she graduated from Roxbury High School in 2011, undocu-mented students looking to attend county or state colleges or uni-versities were considered international students and required to pay out-of-state tuition. For Mauriz that meant working full-time to pay for one or two classes per semester for her first two years of college.

Pursuing a Passion for Social Justice

In 2013, she joined the efforts to push for passage of the New Jer-sey DREAM Act. That act was passed into law in December 2013, making it possible for her to then pay in-county tuition at CCM.

While at CCM, Mauriz also created a path for undocumented students to receive financial aid by spearheading fundraising ef-

forts to create a scholarship for them. At CCM, she also served as vice president of leadership for the college’s Phi Theta Kappa honor society, and was involved with the CCM Student Government Association and Diversity Committee, among other groups.

Her plan now is to pursue a dual major in public policy and an-thropology, and then attend law school with the goal of working on social justice issues.

“I know many other deserving students who are forced to work two or three jobs while in school to afford an education that they can’t even focus on because of stresses created by socioeconomic factors,” she says. “This tremendous opportunity will equip me with new tools and resources that I can use to improve some of these conditions while continuing to serve my community.”

(l-r) Dr. Bette Simmons, vice president of Student Development and Enrollment Management; Renata Mauriz; and Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of CCM, celebrate after learning Mauriz was selected to receive the Jack Kent Cooke Foundation Undergraduate Scholarship.

You’ll save significantly on the cost of your higher education – as much as $50,000 or more compared to the first two years of a bachelor’s degree at a four-year institution.

You’ll earn more in your lifetime than a high school graduate does. Students who earn an associate degree or certificate earn 22 percent more, on average, than someone who only completed high school.

BASF Internship Enhances Learning ExperienceMichael Masino, Biology and Engineering Science

By Kathleen Brunet Eagan

Building upon the success of previous sci-ence students at County College of Morris (CCM) and his own academic achievements, Michael Masino, of East Hanover, spent this past summer working at BASF’s Catalysts division in Iselin as an intern.

Masino, who was one of two CCM students selected this year for a summer internship at BASF, is majoring in both biology and engineering science. His plan is to launch a career in biomedical engineering where he can design solutions to help people improve their quality of life.

“For example, I would like to design the next generation of bioelectronic medicine that would enable electrical signals to be sent through our nervous systems to help trigger our bodies’ own natural healing functions,” he says. “I also would love to be involved in designing prosthetics that wirelessly connect to neurons, so someone who lost an arm could move their hand and effortlessly pick up a cup of coffee.”

He notes, however, that he anticipates his career plans will develop as he continues his education and gains more practical experience.

In addition to attending school full time and working multiple part-time jobs, Masino is president of the Biology and Chemistry Club at CCM and an active member of the Phi Theta Kappa honor society.

Providing Students with a Competitive Edge

“This is the first time in our three-year intern-ship program with BASF that we have had two students who were offered and accepted positions as summer interns,” says Anthony Di Stasio, assistant professor of chemistry, who developed and oversees the Biology and Chemistry Internship Program at CCM.

Last year, Matt Gole, of Succasunna, was selected as the college’s second summer intern at BASF. In 2013, Tristin DeBona, of Randolph, became the first CCM intern at BASF. Now a student at Rutgers, DeBona was hired back by BASF as a part-time employee.

As BASF interns, students gain experience working in catalysts research at the world’s leading chemical company, obtaining critical hands-on experience and the opportunity to build a professional network.

For more information on the biology and chemistry programs at CCM, visit www.ccm.edu/biochem.

You’ll find good-paying jobs with an associate degree in such fields as criminal justice, engineering, fashion design, nursing, physical ther-apy, radiography, respiratory therapy and more.

You’ll have the opportunity to develop your leadership and com-munication skills both in and outside the classroom by taking part in a range of student life and athletic programs.

You’ll find it easier to transfer to a four-year college or uni-versity should you wish to earn your bachelor’s degree. In New Jersey, an associate degree counts as the first two years of a bachelor’s degree at each of the state’s public institutions.

For students seeking more depth in their studies, Honors courses at County College of Morris (CCM) provide both a greater level of intellectual stimulation and the opportunity to build an impressive academic record.

“They’re more sophisticated than regular classes,” says English Professor Laura Gabrielsen, who oversees the Honors course option. Taking 18 credits or more of Honors courses also earns students an Honors designation on their degree and is noted on their permanent transcript.

Along with that distinction, the courses also offer students the opportunity to develop strong connections.

“The classes are smaller than regular classes and students end up making friendships with other students and forming study groups,” notes Gabrielsen.

Students also may become part of one of the honor societies on campus, and many have transferred to outstanding colleges including New York University, Harvard, Yale, Cornell, Brown and the Honors College at Rutgers.

In addition, Honors courses also help students to develop impor-tant life skills.

“The courses instill a responsibility in students to be self-starters, to go the extra mile on their own without being told,” says Gabrielsen. “I’ve watched students come through the door very tentatively and, when they leave, they’re very different people. They’re mature. They’re go-getters. The Honors courses give them the confidence they need to succeed.”

Top Students Eligible for a Tuition-Free Community College EducationNJ STARS Scholarship Program

New Jersey students who excel in high school can qualify to receive the New Jersey Student Tuition Assistance Reward Scholarship (NJ STARS).

Exclusively for New Jersey students who rank in the top 15 percent of their high school class, NJ STARS covers the cost of tuition at New Jersey’s 19 community colleges.

“These students are driven. They know where they want to go and what they want to do,” says Lisa Volante, counselor with the Office of Counseling and Student Suc-cess at County College of Morris (CCM).

NJ STARS recipient Chelsea Maher, of Mine Hill, a liberal arts major, was par-ticularly excited about the opportunity to attend CCM with the scholarship.

“CCM is one of the best community colleges in the country, so I’m getting an education I can be proud of,” she says. Af-ter earning her associate degree, she plans to work toward a bachelor’s in psychology and then a master’s in counseling and hu-man services. Her goal is to become a high school guidance counselor.

Another recipient, Kelly Struck, of Jeffer-son, is studying biology/nutrition at CCM.

“I worked very hard in high school, so I see this scholarship as a form of recogni-tion,” she says. Once she earns her as-sociate degree, Struck plans to then earn a bachelor’s and master’s in nutrition. “I want to become a hospital dietitian so I can help people live healthier,” she says.

“It’s important to reward students who are driven and are doing well,” notes Volante. “NJ STARS brings those bright students into community colleges. Once they gradu-ate from CCM, they go on to four-year schools and thrive.”

Transfer for an Affordable Higher EducationStarting at a Community College Just Makes Good Sense

Many students who enroll at County Col-lege of Morris (CCM) do so with the goal of earning their associate degrees and then transferring to a four-year institution to earn their bachelor’s degrees. It’s a successful strategy, as indicated by the fact that CCM has the highest transfer rate among com-munity colleges in New Jersey.

By starting at CCM, students can save $30,000 to $50,000 – or more – a year. Do-ing so, they then can complete their higher education at their “dream school” earning their bachelor’s degrees with little – if any – student loan debt.

A Transfer Guarantee

Students who graduate with an associate in arts or associate in science degree and transfer to a public college or university in New Jersey also benefit from a statewide transfer agreement known as the Lampitt Law. Under that law, the first two years at a community college are counted toward a bachelor’s degree, allowing community college graduates to enroll as juniors at their next school.

CCM students also benefit from the numerous transfer – or articulation – agree-

ments the college holds with other institu-tions, such as Drew, Fairleigh Dickinson, Johnson & Wales, Rutgers and William Pa-terson, that ensure their community college credits are accepted toward a bachelor’s degree.

In addition, CCM, through its Office of Transfer Services, provides students with the resources and individualized attention to facilitate a successful transition to a four-year college or university.

Unlocking the Mysteries of

the World Around UsAssociate in Science, Biology

By Nancy Dreyfus

Whether someone wants to discover the anatomy of a flower, how viruses invade the body and fool the immune system, or something in between, biology offers the answers.

Dr. Maria Isaza, associate professor of biol-ogy and chair of the Department of Biology and Chemistry at County College of Morris (CCM), sees biology as a way of exploring the mysteries of the world around us.

“Students who enter our programs have diverse goals," Isaza says. “Many want to become physicians or physician assistants to serve the community. Some are very concerned about what’s happening to the environment and want to work to preserve it. Biology gives them the knowledge to pursue those goals.”

CCM graduate Michael Collins

Jr., ’10, finds his career in biology captivating.

“I am involved in molecular research to find treatments for

Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and Huntington’s Disease, to name a few,” he says. “I enjoy going into work every day. I like to learn and develop new things that other people don’t know much about. The work I’m involved with at Lundbeck Research is adding in-sights into disease biology, such as why and when Alzheimer’s disease may develop.”

A Strong Growth Field Filled with Opportunities

Students majoring in biology at CCM earn an associate degree in biology as a foun-dation for a four-year degree. Depending on the degrees they earn, they can pursue careers as doctors, physician assistants, veterinarians, researchers, forensic scientists, chiropractors, physical therapists, pharmaceutical sales representatives, environmentalists and more.

The biology curriculum at CCM involves learning to use laboratory equipment, sample properly and gather and interpret data.

Isaza says that the faculty’s dedication to individualized attention is what distinguishes CCM from other schools. She and her col-leagues draw satisfaction from watching students who thought science was “too hard” gain confidence and succeed.

With faster than average job growth projected in biology careers over the next decade, students can expect to be on the forefront of areas that may not have existed just a few years ago.

“Those who pursue biology have a basic curiosity and sense of wonder for the natu-ral world around us,” notes Isaza. “New discoveries are happening every day. That’s what makes this field so exciting.”

To learn more about the biology programs at CCM, go to www.ccm.edu/biochem.


I was always good at biology in high school. At CCM, my professor made everything easy to learn. She always came

to the class with an enthusiasm for biology, which made me want to learn more. After graduation, I went to Montclair

State University. All of the classes at CCM go into a lot of detail, so the first semester at a four-year school is a refresher

course more than anything else. In my job as a research associate, I’m involved with in vitro pharmacology in the search

for treating several diseases such as Alzheimer’s. I enjoy going into work and I like the people I work with.”

Michael Collins Jr., ‘10 Associate of Science, Biology Montclair State University, Class of 2013, Bachelor of Science, Biology Research Associate, Lundbeck Research USA, Paramus

Dr. Maria Isaza, associate professor of

biology and chair of the De-partment of Biology and Chemistry at County College of Morris (CCM), began her education in America with an English as a Second Lan-guage class after arriving here from Colombia. Now she uses the Ph.D. she has earned to educate others and ensure that her students are able to uncover their passions in life.

She first discovered her love of biology while enrolled in the Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Medical Laboratory Tech-nology Program at CCM. After earning her AAS, she also earned an Associate in Science in biology from the college.

“What I love about biology is that it explains how things work,” Isaza says. “Mi-crobiology is my true passion. I’m always amazed at how tiny bacteria and viruses have no nervous system but can sense things and interact with other organisms.”

Returning to Where You Flourish

Her first taste of teaching was as a tutor while earning her bachelor’s degree at the College of Saint Elizabeth. She then car-ried her love of biology and teaching into the master’s and doctorate programs at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey – now Rutgers School of Biomedical and Health Sciences. While her professors advised her that the doctoral career path trained people for research, she quietly pursued it with the aim of be-coming a teacher instead.

While completing her Ph.D., she recon-nected with her CCM teachers and began her role as an educator at the college in 2007.

“You want to come back to the place that has seen you flourish,” she says.

Isaza has earned several awards includ-ing the American Society for Microbiology Travel Award (2007) and the NISOD Excel-lence Award (2013) for her teaching and leadership skills.

She also is very active in her com-munity and is a board member for the Morris County Organization for Hispanic Affairs (MCOHA). MCOHA offers social services such as transportation and energy assistance to Hispanic and low-income residents in Morris County.

She recognizes that CCM might not always be a student’s first choice, but likes to note that the school someone chooses is secondary in importance to what he or

she accomplishes there.

“It’s not where you go,” she says, “it’s what you do there.”

Creating the

Technology We All UseAssociate in Science, Computer ScienceBy Nancy Dreyfus

“Most people use technology, but some never think of pursuing a career where they can create technology,” says Nancy Binowski, associate professor and chair of the Information Technologies Program at County College of Morris (CCM).

To enable students to do so, CCM offers an Associate in Sci-ence (A.S.) degree in computer science modeled on the standards set by the Association of Computing Ma-chinery, the world’s largest professional computing organization.

Essentially, students learn how to give instructions to computers to generate programs for learning and entertainment, and to solve problems in just about every area of life including artificial intelligence, the environment and health care.

“Many students come in without any ex-perience,” says Binwoski. “What I tell them is that computer programming is like learn-ing a foreign language. Like any language, it takes time and practice to learn.”

Students in the A.S. program receive a solid background in computational theory and in-depth programming. They also

study object-oriented languages, com-puter architecture, systems programming, systems analysis and design, and data structures and algorithms.

Many students envision creating and posting apps to generate income for themselves. Several CCM students already have gained that experience as they have created apps for various academic depart-ments at the college.

A Field Where Women Can – and Should – Excel

Created in 2013, the A.S. Computer Science Program prepares students for one of the fastest growing careers in the country. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, computer science-related profes-sions will continue to have solid growth through 2020, with some occupations, such as software developer, having faster than average growth.

Surprisingly, at the same time that enroll-ment in the program has increased, the percentage of women in computer science is down.

“There are not enough women in the field,” Binowski observes. In the late 1980s, 37 percent of students in computer science pro-grams nationwide were women, but that number has shrunk to only 18 percent today.

“The perception is that computer science is a solitary, nonsocial type of job where you’re working in a room by yourself,” says Binowski. “It’s quite the opposite. It’s a team-oriented, creative effort and offers the opportunity to make a social impact. It’s very rewarding to be able to create some-thing that entertains or addresses environ-mental or medical issues, for example.”

The increase in overall enrollment in the program reflects the comfort level today’s youth have with computers, notes Binowski.

“This generation has grown up with tech-nology. Now they want to create their own technology, not just use it. It’s exciting and they want to be a part of that.”

"The A.S. Computer Science Program prepares students for one of the fastest

growing careers in the country."


Sometimes an unexpected path in life unfolds and all you need to do is follow it.

When Vickram Sawh was registering for college, he wanted to be an electrical en-gineer. The engineering classes, however, were closed out, so he enrolled in com-puter science courses instead. “I loved it,” says Sawh, assistant professor in Informa-tion Technologies (IT) at County College of Morris (CCM). “Computers are predictable. Computing technology is based on math and logic; everything is explainable.”

Initially, he worked as a programmer and consultant. While completing his master’s degree at the New Jersey Institute of Tech-nology, he noticed a bulletin board post for a computer teacher at a local private school. On an impulse, he applied for the job and was hired. “That’s how I got into the teaching field.”

Eventually, a friend suggested he look for higher education jobs. On a lark, he did and found an opening for an IT teacher at CCM. He applied and got the position. That was more than 20 years ago. He has happily remained at CCM ever since.

Making Learning Fun and Interesting

Sawh tries to keep his classes interest-ing. With one class, he jokingly asked his students if they would remember a very important point he was trying to stress if he stood on his head. The class called his bluff, so he got down on the floor and stood on his head. “I did not fall over, and I am confi-dent they will never forget the point I made.”

He also has some serious advice for stu-dents who want to be good programmers.

“Technology can add a lot to our lives, but people also need to learn how to disconnect themselves from it. Everyone needs some self-analysis time,” Sawh says. That’s why every year he camps on an island in a national park, south of the Florida Keys. The park is so remote that campers must bring all the supplies they need for their stay, and there is no recep-tion for cellphones or the Internet.

“It’s important to be by yourself and dig deep into your psyche,” Sawh notes. “Ultimately, that periodic alone time will make you a better person and programmer.”

a peer tutor. That type of support

makes a big difference. I think a lot of

students don’t do well in a four-year

university after high school. Going to a

community college prepares them at a

psychological level to go on to a four-

year school. I encourage everyone to

continue with school after graduation.

An associate is not the end but

the beginning of your education.

Alumni Profiles

By Kathleen Brunet Eagan

Charlotte Rodgers, of Morristown, is one of two graduates from the Class of 2015 at County College of Morris (CCM) who gained acceptance at the University of Pennsylvania for the Fall Semester. Even though she was a good student in high school, attending an Ivy League institution was not within her reach at that time. It was her CCM education, she says, that allowed her to excel and gain notice.

“I could never have gotten into an Ivy League university coming out of high school,” she says. “I was a good student but com-pared to everyone else I was just average. Coming to CCM, I worked really hard and was able to stand out to other schools a lot more than I would have in high school.”

Rodgers explains that CCM, as a two-year school, offered her opportunities she would not have had at a larger four-year school. For example, she was able to develop her leadership skills as president of the college’s Women in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) club.

“If I were at a four-year school, I never would have been president because I would have been competing with juniors and seniors for the position,” she notes. “At CCM, however, you can get involved in leadership positions early in college.”

Smaller Class Sizes that Make a Difference

The smaller class sizes at CCM also al-lowed her to develop strong relationships with a number of professors, including Kelly Fitzpatrick, mathematics professor, and Jefferson Cartano, physics professor.

Fitzpatrick, says Rodgers, encouraged her to take advantage of such opportuni-ties as attending the 2014 American Association of University Women (AAUW) national conference. AAUW had awarded CCM a grant so several students could

participate in that networking and learning opportunity.

“I kept thinking the whole time I was there that if I didn’t go to CCM, I never would have been able to take part in this,” says Rodgers.

Cartano, a graduate of Penn, was the one who encouraged her to apply to the university and guided her through the admissions process. Now Rodgers will be able to finish her higher education without taking on any student loans as a result of the university's financial aid policies.

“I am so grateful that I came to CCM, that I got into Penn and that I will be graduating with my bachelor’s with no student loans,” says Rogers.

Earning the Grades to Enter the Ivy LeagueCharlotte Rodgers ’15, Associate in Science, Mathematics


Knowledge and Connections Translate to Fulfilling Filmmaking CareerMichael Mazur ’05, Associate in Arts, Broadcasting

By Sandra Riano

While County College of Morris (CCM) has the high-est transfer rate among community colleges in New Jersey, Michael Mazur ’05 took a different approach after earning his associate degree. Rather than transfer to earn his bachelor’s degree, the successful producer and director jumped right into his career.

Mazur, who studied broadcasting at CCM, credits Professor Ray Kalas for providing him with the knowledge and connections that allowed him to immediately begin working in the field. “Professor Kalas was probably the single greatest gateway I’ve had into my career,” he says.

Following his graduation, Mazur moved to Brooklyn and began doing post-production as a freelancer. In 2010, he joined a company and produced short films for organizations such as Walmart and the U.S. Department of State. Also included among his work are three short films he directed that received Official Selections from the Los Angeles Short Film Festival, the New York Short Film Festival and Hoboken Inter-national Film Festival. His first feature documentary, “Coming Clean,” also won Best International Docu-mentary and The Audience Award at the New York International Independent Film Festival.

Putting a Lens on a Path to Prosperity

In 2013, he decided to accept a year-long, unpaid fellowship with Kiva, a nonprofit that provides loans

to small business owners around the world to help them break out of poverty. The fellowship brought him to Central America and Southeast Asia to film some of those who have benefited from the loans.

“I was like a journalist trying to tell the stories that would help them,” he says. “Traveling and living among different people is my number one recom-mendation for everyone. It’s so inspiring to meet people who are smiling from ear to ear because they could afford a cement floor instead of a dirt floor, when, in comparison, we are so unhappy with the amount of things we have.”

The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity left him broke, and it took him a year to catch up with his bills. Soon, however, he was on to his next “passion” project.

“It’s finding a mix between jobs that pay the bills and jobs that make you feel good and help you grow professionally and personally,” he says.

The project he is working on now is a documentary, “El Forajido, The Cautionary Tale of Toño Bicicleta,” about a serial murderer who was romanticized by the media. His goal is to shed light on the effects of media manipulation and sensationalism.

To learn more about that project and to view some of Mazur’s other work, go to www.mikemazur.net.

CCM Media Center Updated for Today’s Students

The Media Center at County College of Morris (CCM) – now known as the Alex DeCroce Media Center – underwent an extensive renovation during the past summer to provide broadcasting and com-munication students and the community with a state-of-the-art facility.

The Morris County Board of Chosen Free-holders contributed $1 million to the project. An additional $900,000 was raised in individual, corporate, private foundation and public support.

Named in honor of late New Jersey Assembly-man Alex DeCroce, a former Morris County Freeholder, CCM trustee and board chair, the cen-ter was upgraded from analog to high defini-tion/digital technology. A teaching studio and support facilities, includ-ing a control room, also were added. In addition, the center now includes a second professional studio, scenery/work room, technical engineering room, studio control room, studio editing room, and a “green room” for on-air guests.

The modern facility will train students to successfully enter the media industry, as well as prepare them to trans-fer to four-year academic programs. It also will serve as a resource for organizations and companies looking to produce high-quality videos and films.

A Year of Dwarf Planets and DiscoveryBy Christopher Fenwick, Astronomer and Planetarium Director

It’s been a year of dwarf planets. Two spacecraft, for the first time ever, visited two of these curious worlds, uncover-ing wonders and mysteries we never expected.

The term dwarf planet received a lot of notoriety when Pluto was reclassified as such in 2006. Dwarf planets are

objects that are large enough to be considered planets but belong to a collection, such as the asteroid belt.

Pluto is part of a large batch of objects that share an orbit, from near Neptune and stretching far beyond, which is called the

Kuiper Belt. And while there continues to be much controversy over its reclassification, Pluto is remarkable in a multitude of ways. The New

Horizons spacecraft flew by Pluto in July, revealing many of those wonders. But Pluto is the second dwarf planet we visited this year – the first was Ceres, a dwarf planet residing in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter that was visited by the Dawn spacecraft.

A Rest Stop On the Space Highway

Dawn was launched in 2007, took some lazy loops through the inner Solar System and used a gravitational assist from Mars to fling into the asteroid belt. The main propulsion of the Dawn spacecraft is an ion engine. Until Dawn, ion engines resided only in science fiction (the TIE fighter of Star Wars is an acronym for “Twin Ion Engine”). Now, science fiction is scientific fact, as charged particles are used to create remarkably efficient propulsion.

With a diameter of less than 600 miles, Ceres is quite small. However, even at its small size Ceres seems to have a remarkable amount in common with Mars and Earth. It is spherical, consists of similar rocky minerals, has a thin atmosphere and contains water. Water vapor was detected in its atmosphere and seems to be coming from under its surface, bubbling up through cracks or icy volcanoes. Though we don’t know how much water resides under its rocky crust, if just 25 percent of its body is fresh water Ceres would contain more fresh water than Earth. As humans travel further in space in the future, Ceres could serve as a sort of rest stop on the highway to the outer Solar System and beyond. It could be where a spacecraft stops and replenishes its fluids and possibly other materials before venturing out into the vast spaces beyond.

Zipping Along at a Million Miles a Day

In January 2006, the most ambitious trek across the Solar System began when the New Horizons spacecraft was launched – the first spaceship to

The Dawn spacecraft


embark on a journey to Pluto. Since its discovery in 1930, Pluto has been a source of wonder, but its distance and small size kept it from being a target for study. Improvements in technology and increased curiosity, however, finally made it a place worth visiting.

New Horizons is an amazing piece of machinery. Sporting the small-est nuclear-powered engine ever built, seven different kinds of sci-entific detection equipment and some of the greatest resolution cameras that have ever left Earth, this piano-sized machine is a remarkable achievement. Needing to cover more than three billion miles to reach its target, it had to be a speedy vehicle. Its cruising speed is nearly 37,000 mph, allowing it to cover more than a million miles a day. Even at that nearly ludicrous speed, it took more than nine years to arrive at Pluto.

In mid-July, New Horizons whipped by Pluto and opened its equipment to obtain a torrent of data. In less than a week, it obtained an incredible amount of information about Pluto’s surface and atmosphere and stored it on its onboard computer. It then began to download information to Earth so NASA could review the data. So much information was gathered that it will take 16 months to receive it all.

A Wondrous Place

Already we have found Pluto to be vastly more interesting than we could have anticipated. It has a thin atmosphere that is mostly nitrogen – something in common with Earth. However, its atmosphere contains no loose oxygen so its air is not breathable by humans, but breathing would be difficult, anyway, at a temperature of around -325° F.

There are also mountains, valleys and flowing glaciers made of frozen nitro-gen. Pluto also has five moons. Its largest moon, Charon, is about half the size of Pluto, making it the largest moon compared to the size of its parent. They are locked facing each other and the gravity between them appears to be so strong that they may be exchanging parts of their atmospheres with each other.

Dwarf planet has not been a popular classification. This is unfortunate, how-ever, because as we have found worlds like Ceres and Pluto are fascinating. With just minor glimpses, they have turned out to have some of the most remarkable features of anything in the Solar System.

CCM Foundation

By Rick Burchfield

All the doors to a great higher education were open to Tiffany Griff, of Flanders. The Mount Olive High School graduate had applied – and had been accepted – to 13 colleges and universities. With all of those options, the one that gave her the most attractive opportunities was County College of Morris (CCM).

“Everyone I knew who had come here raved about it,” says Griff, who is in her fifth and final semester.

A smart financial decision for students at its regular cost, CCM was even more affordable for Griff thanks to several scholarships. For finishing in the top 15 percent of her high school class, she was rewarded with the chance to enroll as an NJ STARS program student, making her tuition free for up to five semesters.

To help pay for other costs, such as textbooks, Griff also applied for and received a number of scholarships from the CCM Foundation. She was a recipi-ent of the Dr. Edward J. Yaw Scholar-ship during her first four semesters. She also received the Entering Freshman Scholarship and the Professor Al Gianni Adjunct Faculty Memorial Scholarship.

Pursuing A Passion Minus College Debt

“I’d tell all incoming students to defi-nitely apply for scholarships,” says Griff, who balances classes and work at the Theater Dance Center in Flanders while maintaining a 3.905 GPA. “With being

an NJ STARS student, I didn’t think I’d be eligible for additional scholarships. The additional scholarships, however, have been a huge help in paying for books, which can be expensive.”

CCM has given Griff a chance to truly explore, allow-ing her to change her major to her passion. She origi-nally applied to all 13 schools as an education major, even though video and broadcasting were her favorite classes and activities throughout high school.

“I never saw it as a potential job,” she says. “I thought it was too much fun to make a career out of it.”

Poised to graduate in January with her associate degree in broadcasting, she has realized her dream is, in fact, within reach. She recently obtained an internship with News 12 and next

plans to transfer to a four-year institu-tion to obtain her bachelor’s degree.

Griff says she not only enjoys being a student at CCM, but also values the opportunity to con-tinue to work as a

student dance assistant and stay close to her family.

“Coming to CCM has given me the opportunity to do things my own way,” she says.
