Secretary of Higher Education Recognizes Scholars for Academic Success
A total of 15 Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) students at County College of Morris (CCM) recently were presented with achievement awards from the New Jersey Office of the Secretary of Higher Education in recognition of their academic success. This was the largest number of CCM students to be recognized within a given year.
“While we always have numerous students who excel and are recognized with these awards each year, we were pleased to have our largest number of students receive this recognition this year,” said Dr. Pam Marcenaro, Dean of Learning Support & Opportunity Services. “Our students can be very proud of their success and achievements both in and out of the classroom.”
