“If you have the choice, go to CCM first, get your degree here and move on. I still wish it were a four-year school because I believe the education here was better than the education I received anywhere else. The professors were really good at teaching and because it was a smaller community setting, they seemed to care more and were willing to spend the time you needed. I really had a great time here.�

“If it weren’t for CCM, I would not have had the opportunity to participate in the summer-long research project at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). Its reputation for being a top community college in New Jersey helped me tremendously.”

Dr. Anthony Iacono, CCM President CCM’s Campaign couldn’t be more timely. As we approach our 50th anniversary, and celebrate our more than 50,000 alumni, it’s time to re-envision our future by setting bold new goals, reaching new levels of success and increasing our impact on the communities we serve. Of course, these things would not be possible without the generous support of local residents, businesses and community based organizations. After all, no one cultivates 50 years of success alone. Together we can continue to make great things happen and bring forth a future limited only by our imagination. I’m proud to lead a college that has achieved so much and to serve a community dedicated to progress and a high quality of life. I invite all of Morris County to join me and the CCM family as we usher in the next 50 years of life changing programs, events and opportunities.

Immediate Priorities • Paragano Family Foundation Healthcare Simulation Center • Investors Bank Cybersecurity Suite • Enhanced Culinary Arts Training Facility • Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center
CCM . . . Forward The world of education – both public and private – is shifting rapidly to meet the needs and demands of America’s workforce and the global workforce. With the advent of technology in the workplace, educational institutions are required to not only provide students with a solid academic curriculum that honors the importance of liberal arts, but to also offer the skills and experience to join and remain relevant in their chosen industries. Historically, community colleges were founded to train individuals to meet the needs of businesses, promote social equality and build culture and community. Indeed, County College of Morris continues that tradition in the spirit of its own founding in 1968.

Space to Meet Demand
CCM’s Workforce Development program responds to the demand for increased training and to better support the local economy.
• Bio-Med Device Laboratory
Our purpose is three-fold:
• Automation and Control Lab
1. For students to earn degrees to transfer to four year colleges/universities.
• Quality Control/ Measurement Lab
2. For students to earn degrees and immediately enter the workforce.
• 3-D Printer Room
3. To provide continuous training to industry professionals.
• Prototyping Labs
• Welding Lab • Professional Conference Rooms and Student Spaces • Emerging Technology Space • Two Electronics Labs
The new Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center will be constructed to meet the immediate needs and requirements of employers locally and globally. Businesses are experiencing growth in requests for products, retirement of long time employees and the expectation of modernization by their customers. Through our new facilities, CCM will provide a quality pipeline of skilled workers to answer this call to action.
