Students come to County College of Morris (CCM) for a variety of
reasons . Some know what areas of study they want to pursue, some
are uncertain and want time to explore their options, and some want
to develop new skills to transition into a new career . It makes for a
very diverse and enriching environment with students of all ages and
varied experiences .
As I like to tell our students, college is more than sitting in a
classroom . College is a time to explore issues from various points
of view, develop a sense of citizenship and gain an appreciation for
the differences that surround us . It’s also the chance to awaken new
talents and ways of thinking, and to make new – and sometimes
lifelong – friends . And that holds true whether you are a full-time or
part-time student or taking a professional development or personal
enrichment class . In each class at CCM, students are presented
with the opportunity to develop and grow from the diversity that
surrounds them .
Expanding upon that diversity, CCM now is part of a national
initiative – Bridging Cultures – to better incorporate diversity, civic
engagement and democratic thinking into teaching and learning . We
were the only college in New Jersey selected to take part in this project
funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities . As part of
this effort, a group of CCM professors is creating academic materials
that can be used by other colleges, which means that our students
also are playing a critical role in showing how differences can be
better woven into the fabric of education .
In this issue of Connections, we focus on the Aviation, Design and
Nursing programs . In these pages, you’ll also learn about some of
our outstanding students, graduates and faculty members and other
recent developments at CCM .
I hope that you will enjoy taking a closer look at what your
community college has to offer .
Sincerely,
Dr . Edward J . Yaw
President, County College of Morris

NewsNewsCCM Selected for National Diversity Initiative
County College of Morris (CCM) places a high value on embracing and accepting diversity both in and out of the classroom . As evidence of that fact, the college was selected this past spring as the only New Jersey college to take part in Bridging Cultures, a national initiative to incorporate diversity, civic engagement and democratic thinking into teaching and learning .
Funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, Bridging Cultures is a project of the Association of American Colleges and Universities and the Democracy Commitment, a national effort focused on engaging students in civic learning . The project consists of 10 community colleges across the nation whose faculty members are working on infusing teaching and learning with an appreciation of differences and democratic thinking, along with piloting academic materials to be used by other community colleges .
“The Bridging Cultures project is a logical next step for CCM in our commitment to supporting diversity and civic engagement,” noted Dr . Edward J . Yaw, CCM president .
In 2002, CCM was one of 10 colleges in the state to receive a Bildner New Jersey Campus Diversity Initiative Grant . In the course of that three-year project, CCM significantly increased the integration of diversity and global awareness into courses throughout the college curriculum .
Environmental Sustainability
Along with a number of other energy-efficient projects, County College of Morris recently opened its first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold certified facility – a new 7,200-square foot Landscape and Horticulture Technology building . The building’s LEED Gold certification underscores both the program’s and the college’s commitment to sustainable design . The building is heated and cooled by geothermal wells . Lights in the classrooms, computer lab and drafting rooms are all daylight harvesting systems that automatically adjust based on the amount of natural light coming into the rooms . Outside, photovoltaic panels on the two sloped roofs provide energy for the building . Rainwater from the sloped portions of the roof is collected in cisterns and used to water plants in the greenhouses and gardens .
In another energy-saving move, several parking lots around the campus now feature solar canopies, cutting both energy and costs to the college . The solar panels are expected to meet about 45 percent of the college’s yearly energy needs .
In addition, the campus has replaced all of its exterior lighting with new and much more energy-efficient LED lighting .Ph

More than Just AestheticsDesignBy Nancy Dreyfus
Design is much more than mere aesthetics, says Kelly Whalen, assistant professor, Visual Arts at County College of Morris (CCM) . It’s about choices .
“Design education is not just about learning techniques,” says Whalen . “It’s about the impact that we, as designers, have on consumers, world markets and lifestyle . For example, fashion designers producing products like handbags and shoes made of recycled materials can make them become desired trends, benefiting both the user and the environment .”
The Design program at CCM, which is part of the Visual Arts department, includes five concentrations: fashion design, fashion merchandising, architecture, industrial design and interior design . Students can earn an Associate in Fine Arts or an Associate in Applied Science .
Students are encouraged to transfer to four-year colleges as well . Graduates have attended nationally recognized schools such as the Savannah College of Art and Design, Pratt Institute, Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT), Parsons School of Design and the Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising . They also attend schools
“After graduation, I worked for a number of companies . At Tiffany & Company, I developed brochures for service award programs . Later, I joined Toys“R”Us for 10 years, merchandising products and designing visual point-of-purchase displays . Today, I call Mars Retail Group my home . Starting as the visual manager, I now support the Mars licensing business where I work with licensees to develop products that include our brand images such as M&M’s characters and logos . You always have to be willing to learn new things because you never know where life is going to take you . Varied experiences have led to many opened doors throughout my career .”
Robin Posten ’87, A.A., AFA, Design BFA, William Paterson University
closer to home such as Centenary College, Montclair State University and the New Jersey Institute of Technology .
“Our graduates have gone on to careers with architectural design firms, shoe designers such as Sam Edelmann, toy design companies such as Hasbro, garment design for stores such as Forever 21 and small interior design shops,” Whalen says .
Included among the program’s successful graduates is Torill Stephani from the Class of 2000, who continued her studies in Toy Design at FIT .
“While in school, I worked for Madame Alexander Doll Company in New York City where I designed doll clothing,” says Stephani . “I now work for Nickelodeon as a senior designer for all 3D products . I work on everything from toys to toothbrushes . I’ve come a long way and am truly happy with where design has taken me .”
At CCM, students not only gain a strong foundation to build upon, they learn to consider the impact of their work .
“We tell our students to be conscious about what they’re bringing out in the world,” says Whalen . “It’s important to know the difference between fluff and something that really changes lives and has staying power .”

Being True to DesignKelly Whalen, Assistant Professor, Visual Arts
The thrill of receiving her first design patent early in her career is something Kelly Whalen, assistant professor, Visual Arts at County College of Morris (CCM), will never forget .
“I realized that what I was working on impacted the industry so much that it was worthy of patenting,” she recalls . The new technology she created for John Deere – the zero-turn radius tractor – allowed the farm vehicles to turn on a dime . It was written up in Business Week and received an Industrial Design magazine Gold Award .
While many successful designers are born into creative families, Whalen did not inherit that advantage .
“I came from a family steeped in the medical and science fields,” Whalen says . “But I was always involved in drawing, painting and sculpture . All of that was who I was and offered an important outlet and means of expression .”
She earned a Bachelor in Fine Arts from Caldwell College while working as director of marketing and design for a restaurant product company . “That job allowed me to learn a lot about business and design .”
When she attended Pratt Institute for her master’s degree, she began in interior design, but was quickly intrigued by an entirely different field – industrial design .
“Industrial design encompasses almost every area of design overall,” she says . “It includes sculpting new products, graphic design, everything .” After graduation, she worked for Henry Dreyfus Associates . Henry Dreyfus was one of the founding fathers of industrial design from the 1920s, who coined terms such as ergonomics .
Eventually, she started her own company, Envision Designs of Distinction, which is still thriving today . She also decided it was time to share what she had learned through teaching .
She joined CCM as an adjunct professor in 2004 and was later brought on full-time .
Whalen says teaching is a mutual process . “With students, I feel that our educational dialogue creates a learning
environment for all of us . I’m not always in the instructor seat . Young adults these days are so technologically savvy
that they’re educating us .”
She supports and coaches students in pursuing their own ideas . “One of the things I tell them is a philosophy that
was instilled into my brain at Pratt,” Whalen says . “Be true to yourself and your work will be true to you .”

Caring for the Surrounding CommunityNursingBy Nancy Dreyfus
If you’ve received nursing care in the surrounding community, chances are you were under the care of a County College of Morris (CCM) nursing graduate . Since the CCM nursing program opened its doors in 1968 with a class of 72 students, more than 4,000 nurses have graduated from the college .
“The majority of our nurses work in the surrounding community,” says Monica Maraska, RN, associate professor and chair of the Nursing program at CCM .
Once considered a female profession, nursing is increasingly attracting men . CCM is ahead of the national average with 20 percent of its students being male . Some of those men are returning veterans .
“After they’ve served their country, they’re coming back on the GI Bill . For some men, nursing is a second career and for others it is a family tradition,” says Maraska . “The goal is for nursing to look like the rest of the world in the sense of diversity .”
The CCM program is highly competitive . “We’re looking for strong candidates who will be successful in our program,” explains Maraska . “A desire to help others is important, but so are academics . Grades are a big factor in accepting someone into the program .”
As a Master Plan Steering Committee member of the New Jersey Action Coalition, Maraska is involved in shaping the future of nursing education in New Jersey .
She explains that an increasing number of employers are looking for nurses who have gone on to earn their Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) . In response to that trend, CCM has been working with four-year schools to develop a seamless RN-to-BSN track for its nursing students . Currently, CCM has transfer agreements with several educational facilities, including Ramapo College, the College of Saint Elizabeth and Drexel University .
“Education progression makes sense when you consider the role of nurses in health care today and the greater responsibilities the profession will assume in the future,” says Maraska .
“It’s all about providing greater opportunities and career growth for our graduates,” Maraska says . “And, ultimately, providing high-quality health care for all Americans .”

The Care Not ForgottenMonica Maraska, RN, Chair, Nursing
Every nurse can recall at least one patient she or he will never forget . For Monica Maraska, RN, associate professor and chair of the Nursing program at County College of Morris (CCM), that patient was an elderly man living in Philadelphia .
“He was a fiercely independent man and determined to remain in his own home,” Maraska
recalls, “His disposition, like his neighborhood, was not a pleasant one .” He had a circulatory problem that resulted
in severe swelling and wounds to his legs . Maraska provided care for
that as his visiting nurse .
“When I look back on that, I realize that as a young nurse I didn’t fully understand the importance of being proud and being able to
live on your own,” she says . “We couldn’t fix everything . But the services we provided allowed
him to stay there .” Even after she left to pursue other career goals, she heard that he was still living at home several years later .
Maraska’s background is in geriatrics and home care . She was vice president of patient care for home healthcare services in a company that covered several states . When she moved to New Jersey, she took a position as a staff nurse at Morristown Medical Center .
“I was recruited to CCM in 1996 by a faculty member who approached me on the hospital floor because she saw that I
enjoyed interacting with students,” she says . After one year as an adjunct instructor, Maraska was brought on full-time .
Before becoming chair, she taught Nursing Fundamentals, which introduces students to core nursing concepts, including basic skills, theoretical content and application to the practice setting . As chair, she now teaches Nursing Colloquium, the last course before graduation, which includes resume writing and interviewing skills .
“Freshmen students make me smile . I need to escort them into a patient’s room because they are so anxious,” she says . “Senior students make me proud . Being able to witness their professional growth is such a reward .”
Maraska says students can be the best teachers . “The importance of being a good example is amplified when there are 60 pairs of eyes and ears observing and listening to you . Every day, that makes you a better nurse .”
“I’ve had a passion for nursing since I was a little girl . I chose CCM’s program because it’s well respected . Nursing education is challenging and classmates bond during their journey together . After graduation, I joined the nursing staff at Overlook Medical Center where I’ve worked for 13 years . I also work at St . Clare’s Hospital in the Critical Care Unit . It’s rewarding to make a difference in patients’ lives when they’re at their most vulnerable . My goal is to become a nursing educator in the academic world, remaining bedside, as well, to keep current with nursing trends .”

Most people only get to see the inside of an airplane cockpit in movies . But for students who enroll in the County College of Morris (CCM) Aviation Flight Technology program, the pilot’s seat is one of their classrooms .
“Our program is geared specifically for those who are looking to develop a career as a pilot,” says Venancio Fuentes, P .E ., chair, Engineering Technologies and Engineering Science .
CCM provides course and flight training toward a commercial pilot certificate as well as a college degree . The academic portion of the program takes place on campus, and flight instruction is given at a flight school at Caldwell Airport .
“Our graduates earn an Associate in Applied Science and have many options,” Fuentes says . “The first job they would get with a Commercial Pilot License is typically as a flight instructor . Every hour they train someone adds time to their experience level . Within a year, they can accrue enough hours to fly for the regional airlines that serve the major carriers like United and Delta .” Many graduates go on to complete four-year degrees .
“One of our students went to the Penn State campus and became an aviator for the Navy,” he says . “Another earned a degree while flying for Continental Express, which is now a part of United . A third student went to Fairleigh Dickinson to complete a four-year degree and is now flying for American Eagle .”
Perhaps the most unusual career path, recalls Fuentes, was taken by a woman who learned to fly for missionary work . “She finished up her course work here, attended missionary school and finished her license requirements in Texas, and interned in
Indonesia .” As a missionary pilot, she additionally had to be a skilled mechanic in case the plane she was flying broke down in the middle of nowhere .
“Aviation Flight Technology is a serious program,” Fuentes says . “Learning how to fly is not like learning to drive a car . There are many regulations involved and theoretical materials that you have to understand, but it’s very rewarding . If you’re
interested in flying as a career, CCM’s Aviation Flight Technology major is a great program .”
The Sky’s the LimitAviation Flight TechnologyBy Nancy Dreyfus

“Back in high school, an airline flight with my family sparked my interest in aviation . When I discovered CCM’s aviation program, everything fell into place . I completed academics at CCM and took the flying lessons at Caldwell Airport . After graduation, I became a flight instructor and built my hours teaching others to fly . Once I reached 1,000 hours, I was hired at American Eagle Airlines – an American Airlines regional carrier . Eventually, I plan to fly for a national airline . I think, overall, I made a good career choice that will only get better because a pilot shortage has been forecasted in the next five to 10 years .”

Teaching with His Head in the Clouds Keith Alder, Adjunct Professor, Aviation
“Most kids want to be a doctor, policemen, fireman – not me,” says Keith Alder, adjunct professor, Aviation, at County College of Morris . “I wanted to be a pilot . It’s the only thing I ever wanted to do .”
He still remembers the first time he saw an aircraft at the age of 5 at Caldwell Airport . “An F4U Cosair fighter plane from World War II and a 1930s Grumman Goose were sitting on the tarmac,” he recalls . It was love at first sight .
Alder has been flying for more than 25 years and never tires of being airborne . “I see the world from the vantage point of birds,” he says . “It offers an amazing perspective and makes me try not to sweat the small stuff .”
He began his career with Continental Airlines working on the ramps, then through operations, quality assurance and finally as a pilot . Unfortunately, before he was assigned an aircraft, 9/11
occurred and he, along with many other airline employees, was laid off . But he doesn’t regret his ground time with Continental because it taught him how the industry works .
During his 14 years as a flight instructor at Morristown Airport, he calculates that he has taught well over 100 students . Some of them went on to jobs in the airlines . Many simply wanted to learn for pleasure flying .
One of the most challenging students he ever had was a young man who wasn’t fluent in English . “I not only had to teach him how to fly solo but also how to speak English so he could communicate properly with the tower,” Alder recalls . “Watching him taxi away, take off and land without any help from anyone was very satisfying .”
For the past three years, he has taught aviation at CCM including Introduction to Aviation, Private Pilot Ground School, Aerodynamics and Instrument Ground School .
He says the most gratifying aspect of teaching comes from returning graduates .
“I try to bring real-world experiences into the classroom . When they’ve started to fly and come back to say that the lessons I tried to instill in them were correct – what I described really does happen – that’s rewarding .”

Student ProfileLearning as a Pathway for Giving BackMarianna Borrero, NursingBy Kathleen Brunet Eagan
She’s a student athlete, president of the Student Government Association, active in her church, works a part-time job, runs on a regular basis and earns good grades . Marianna Borrero of Roxbury obviously has some strong time management skills and is geared for success . She also is quick to point out that her ability to juggle multiple responsibilities and interests is the result of the support and guidance she receives from her parents, Juan and Corine .
She pulls out her phone and reads one of her favorite text messages from her father, a quote from Helen Keller: “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet . Only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened .”
“He’s a mind-over-matter person and he believes in becoming a better person,” says Borrero . From her mother, she has learned money management skills and an appreciation for the practical .
“She wouldn’t even let me look at other colleges,” says Borrero . “She wanted me to start here at CCM because it doesn’t make sense to finish college with a whole lot of debt .”
Borrero is glad for that decision, too . “This is a very teaching-oriented school . The professors really care about their
students .” There also are plenty of ways for students to get involved, she notes .
At CCM, she has been able to pursue her love of soccer as a member of the Women’s Soccer team . As president of the Student Government Association this academic year, she also is spreading the message that taking part in a student group can be a life-changing experience .
“One of my friends didn’t join a club and was miserable his first semester . Then he joined a club and he has made so many friends .”
Borrero’s goal is to become a nurse . It’s a desire that sprung from a most unfortunate incident but one that also reflects her determination to make the best of every situation .
She was 11 years old and out bicycling with her dad on one of the many long bike trips they like to take, generally 20-plus miles . “A man was on the ground . He had had a heart attack and died,” she recalls . “It was a moment where I realized I want to help whoever I can by learning whatever I can . It’s giving back that matters .”

“It’s typical for young children to draw on the wall,” says Jon Farrell, Caldwell, who graduated from County College of Morris (CCM) in 2012 with an Associate of Fine Arts . “But when my mother saw that what I had drawn was not stick figures but a person with a torso, arms and legs, she took a picture of it to save the image before she painted over it .”
Both his parents worked for state parks, so he was exposed early on to elaborate landscaping, sculptures and paintings at venues like Ringwood Manor . His grandparents also took him to museums, philharmonic concerts and ballet productions .
“That early exposure to the arts was very inspiring,” he says . It was a natural progression to eventually major in fine arts .
“When you first start at CCM, it’s almost like Alice in Wonderland,” he says . “You’re inquisitive, so you jump down the rabbit hole to build a better understanding of the foundational tools of art . It’s only then that you begin to get an idea of how deep the rabbit hole goes . As you mature as an artist, you refine those tools to express your artistic vision .”
This fall, Farrell enrolled at the prestigious Tyler School of Art at Temple University with the goal of earning a Bachelor and Master of Fine Arts .
During his time at CCM, he participated in several shows and
exhibits . “The positive reception my work received encouraged me to further develop my abilities and pursue my goals,” he says .
He first attended CCM in 2001 but had to drop out to work . “When I came back in 2009, I returned because I enjoyed art . The professors inspired me to pursue art as a career and encouraged me to work toward getting my Master in Fine Arts,” he says .
“I’ve had small shows in the past, which is something I would like to develop further . Eventually, I would like to be a working
artist, showing and selling my pieces in galleries .”
Art throughout the ages has been an extension of society, he adds . “As my education in art progresses, I will have a greater understanding of the past and the times in which we live, and those influences will manifest themselves through my artwork .”

The Perfect Holiday Table and the Gravy to Go with ItBy Mark Cosgrove, Chair, Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts
Just about everyone hosts friends or family for some sort of gathering this time of year . The trick is to make it as much fun for you as the host as it is for your guests . To accomplish that, a little juggling will make your experience as pleasant as possible while also offering your guests a repast that will leave them asking for more .
First, pre-planning your day and the menu will help your gathering to flow smoothly and allow you to avoid the last-minute rush . Write your menu well ahead of time and shop at least two to three days in advance to provide you with time to prepare what you can ahead of time and to give your food that special touch everyone will remember . Other things you should do ahead of time are:
• Know a week in advance how many guests will be attending. The number of chairs, plates, glasses seems unimportant until someone is standing there staring at you! Knowing ahead of time how many people you will have allows you to make sure you have everything you need .
• Plan your food so it does not all have to be prepared at the last minute. Dishes, such as crudités (raw vegetables) and dip, cheese trays or appetizers prepared in advance, can be placed on the table before everyone arrives and provide quick entertainment while the rest of the menu can be served later .
• Make sure all necessary items, such as glasses, drinks and appetizers, are readily accessible before people start arriving so you can play the host, not the kitchen help . Offer a beverage and point out the appetizers rather than running back and forth to the kitchen and front door .
• Above all, keep it simple! The KISS principle applies here in every way . A plethora of magazines and TV shows all will have the latest and greatest recipes from the master and pop chefs . But keep in mind, they also have entire production crews cooking for them . Choose what you and your guests like and make what you have cooked before or try out a new recipe before the day of the party . Don’t go blindly into your main course only to find that no one really likes the latest food trend or fad that is being televised .

One food item that crosses just about every table this time of year is the noble turkey!
Benjamin Franklin thought the turkey should be our national bird instead of the eagle, but most people still find that a little odd . Franklin, however, was a very free thinking man and thought the turkey to be quite courageous .
So, a couple of tips on your bird: Prices can range considerably (literally, free range will be one of your most expensive options) and can even be free of cost from some grocers if you earn enough points . The more you spend, the better the quality, but – and it’s a big but – ask yourself, “Is anyone really going to be questioning whether the entrée was living free as a bird on the range or frozen solid as a rock when I bought it?”
The trick is to make your dinner fun! Brining (soaking in a salt solution for a day or two) is a great way to make a less costly bird more tasty and moist when you finally cook it for your guests . Next, sauce it! Fresh cranberries make a very simple sauce that is better than the canned version and the recipe is
right on the bag . For the gravy – yes, technically the stuff in jars and cans is “gravy,” but in taste it is always a little lacking . Instead, take the pan drippings from the roast, add about a half cup of flour and cook until bubbling (but not burning), then add about a quart of canned stock or fresh (if you are really daring or want
to buy it) and stir well . Simmer the mixture until thickened and then strain through a sieve (or not if your guests like it more “rustic”) and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley to give it color .
Of course, homemade gravy only works if you are going to roast the bird . If you are planning on deep frying (still a
popular trend even after all the fires), move well away from your home, your car, the garage, the neighbors, the trees, the kids, pretty much everything, and follow all the rules on the propane
cooker and be very, very careful . Also make lots of stuffing and mashed potatoes in case the fire department does make a visit . At least then, you will have something to offer your guests when the turkey turns out to be pretty much a sacrifice to the gods .
Tips for Roasting Your Turkey and Making Gravy
Associate in Applied Science in Culinary Arts
Many are learning the joy of cooking at County College of Morris (CCM). Since its creation as a distinct department last year, the Department of Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts has been seeing rising enrollments with its new program offerings. Its newest offering, which started this Fall Semester, is an Associate in Applied Science (AAS) degree for students specifically interested in food and cooking. The department has offered an AAS degree in Hospitality Management and AAS in Restaurant and Culinary Management for several years. Now it also is meeting the demand for students who want to learn how to cook professionally and also those who have more specialized interests such as food styling, food science and other culinary arts studies.
The AAS in Culinary Arts curriculum is based on classical and modern American cuisine but also provides students with the opportunity to build upon their own career interests as they learn how to prepare and serve food in a safe manner. Recent developments in fields such as food science and nutrition now call for training not only in scientific principles, but also the basics of cooking and food preparation. Students interested in this field can begin their studies at CCM with a base in science to meet their general education requirements and electives and then further their education at a four-year institution. Courses vary from introductory classes in food production to more advanced studies in baking, world cuisines, desserts, food science and the culmination of the program, Food as Art! If interested in learning more, please contact Professor Mark Cosgrove at [email protected].

Alumni Scholarship Student Hopes to Help OthersPursuing Clinical Psychology to Improve Lives By Chelsea Thompson
Andrew Bansch was like many students who start their higher education at County College of Morris (CCM): ready to start college but not quite sure of his future direction . With the help of a CCM professor and a growing interest in the workings of the human mind, however, he soon found his way .
During his first psychology course, he got the push he needed from his teacher, Professor John Williford .
“The first semester, I was experimenting, taking a few classes . He (Williford) said by the end of the semester I would be going for psychology,” recalls Bansch . In a way, Williford was wrong – it only took half the semester for Bansch to decide he wanted to study clinical psychology . Bansch became completely fascinated by the human mind and wanted to learn more about its mysteries .
In high school, he did not have a lot of exposure to psychology . Instead, he spent some of his extra time acting . It is easy for him now to see the connection between his interests . Acting offered him the chance to explore different characters and personalities, and it takes the same sorts of skills to understand the psychology and motivations of other people, he explains .
Despite his acting experience, Bansch says he was shy before attending CCM . A strong interest in his college coursework, coupled with encouragement from his professors and fellow students, has helped him become more outgoing .
“I’ve made some amazing friends,” he says . “The people I’ve gotten to know and hang out with have helped me come out of my shell .”
At CCM, he also has excelled as a student, earning the Alumni Scholarship four semesters in a row for a total of $2,000 . As someone who is paying for college himself, Bansch says that the scholarships have allowed him to reduce the number of hours he needs to work each semester so he can better focus on his studies . “The scholarships have helped out a great deal . They certainly have lightened the financial load .”
Following his graduation from CCM, he plans to pursue his bachelor’s degree in clinical psychology at Rutgers University . Ideally, he hopes to practice psychology in the field of marriage counseling .

Distance Learning courses are divided into two types: online and hybrid . Online courses deliver all instruction online but may require in-person student orientation and/or proctored exams . Discussion boards and live chats with the professor are available to online students . Hybrid courses provide instruction both on-campus and online, but with a reduced amount of in-class time compared to traditional classes .
“Students often have the mistaken notion that distance learning courses are easier and less work when they can actually be more work,” says Sheri Ventura, coordinator, Distance Learning Services . “Your professor is not standing there reminding you that your assignment is due next week . You have to be a self-starter .”
A distance learner must also have good computer skills including the ability to use email, work in Word, create and attach files, and cut and paste between applications . Consistent Internet access is essential .
“Students need to familiarize themselves with the Blackboard learning management system,” adds Ventura . “You can’t log in too much, but you can certainly not log in enough .” CCM offers assistance in navigating Blackboard in addition to Blackboard Help .

Are You Ready for Online Classes?By Nancy Dreyfus
In the last several decades, the technology revolution has made the world a smaller place – connecting people around the globe and in local communities for business, social networking and, of course, education .
CCM was at the forefront of that revolution with its Distance Learning programs, which began in 1998 with a handful of online courses . Today, available courses have increased to more than 200 – and are still growing .

Distance Learning Statistics – Spring Semester Comparison
| 18 | County College of Morris | www .ccm .edu
Course OptionsHow does college fit into your lifestyle? Do you want to experience a traditional college setting? Or are you juggling work and family and need a non-traditional environment? County College of Morris (CCM) offers a variety of course options to make it as easy as possible to connect learning with your life .
While the majority of our classes are taught as traditional in-classroom courses within a 16-week semester, many others are offered in alternative formats as listed below:
• Online CoursesAll instruction traditionally provided in class is replaced with online in struction . However, you may still be required to attend an in-person student orientation, test or assessment on campus .
• Hybrid Courses Instruction is provided both in-class and online . The online portion reduces the amount of in-class time that is traditionally required . Hybrid courses are generally 16-weeks long but may be offered in less time . Start and end dates may differ within a semester .
• Fast Track Courses All Fast Track courses are condensed from 16 weeks to eight weeks or less . The courses are taught in a hybrid format with combined in-class and online instruction .
• Accelerated Courses Accelerated courses reduce the amount of time it takes to complete a 16-week semester . Start and end dates may differ each semester .
• Late Start Courses Late Start courses begin after the first week of a semester . They are generally eight-weeks long and can be taught in-class, online or as a hybrid course .
What Makes a Good Online Learner?
Am I Good at Managing My Time?
• The amount of time needed to work on a course requires at least as much, if not more, time and commitment than traditional courses .
• Class discussions or other activities may require that you be online almost every day .
Am I a Self-Starter?
• While there is greater freedom of scheduling, courses have strict timetables and require more self-discipline than on-campus classes .
• Without the structure of regular class meetings, it is up to you to pace yourself and keep up with assignments and course work .
• You must have the initiative to notify professors immediately if you are having problems with course content or technology .
How Do I Learn Best?
• Distance learning is a good choice for people who are good at learning independently .
• You must possess strong reading and writing skills.
Am I Comfortable with Technology?
• You must be familiar with your own computer, the Internet and basic software .
• Online courses are compatible with both Mac and PC computers; however, they MUST be used in the Firefox browser for full functionality .
CCM is in the process of developing an interactive self-assessment tool so that students can better determine if they are ready to learn online . That tool is expected to be launched in 2013 .
The main difference between traditional classroom learning and distance learning comes down to one thing, stresses Ventura . “With distance learning, it’s all up to you!”

company . Since then, a master’s degree in liberal studies, some doctoral
courses, and current studies toward another master’s in military history
have only increased his interests in food and its importance in the world .
