Mendoza and Anding, along with several other students from across the state, have received this recognition from the New Jersey Council of County Colleges (NJCCC). Traditionally, NJCCC holds a ceremony to recognize these scholars but this year their certificates and the medals All-State Academic Team members receive will be mailed to them. CCM hopes to be able to hold a recognition ceremony perhaps later this year to recognize Mendoza, Anding and other outstanding students.

At CCM, Mendoza has served as president of the Student Government Association and as a member of both PTK and Alpha Mu Gamma honor societies. She also has served on the leadership team for the Student Activities Programming Board, Alpha Mu Gamma and as a Student Representative to CCM’s College Council.

At CCM, Anding has served as president pro tempore of the Student Government Association and is also a member of both the PTK and Alpha Mu Gamma honor societies. Additionally, he has served as a student representative on CCM’s College Council and the Student Affairs Committee.

Don Phelps, director of CCM’s Campus Life, refers to Mendoza and Anding as “two all-stars” on campus.

To be considered for membership in the PTK chapter at CCM, students must have a 3.5 or higher grade point average.
