The rising cost of a college education and resulting debt burden have left many ques-

tioning the value of a higher education. As a community college, however, with our low

tuition costs, County College of Morris (CCM) offers an outstanding value to its students.

For students who earn an associate degree, there is the value they gain in terms of

higher wage earnings. According to a recent study by the American Association of Com-

munity Colleges (AACC), those with an associate degree earn an average of $10,700

more a year compared to those with only a high school diploma or equivalent. At CCM,

we offer a number of associate degrees that prepare students for immediate entrance

into the workplace in such diverse areas as biotechnology, business administration,

information technology and mechanical engineering.

For CCM graduates who go on to earn their bachelor’s degrees, there is the value

they gain by earning that degree at a significantly reduced cost. Rather than spending

$20,000, $40,000 or higher annually for four years – or more – those who complete

their associate degrees at CCM can then earn their bachelor’s degrees with little and

sometimes with no debt. Without the burden of having to pay off large student loans,

those degree holders can use their earnings to buy a home, start a family, launch a

business or pursue another venture.

In the last three years, CCM graduates have transferred to more than 460 four-year

institutions across the country and in New Jersey, many with scholarship support.

Among the top schools our students have transferred to are Berkeley, Cornell, Duke,

Harvard, Juilliard and Notre Dame. The same as the other students who transferred,

they received the diploma they wanted from their dream schools and at a significantly

reduced cost.

As the AACC noted in its study, community colleges are, “Where Value Meets Values.”

If you have not yet taken a close look at CCM, I encourage you to read through these

pages and to visit us at www.ccm.edu. As a community college, we have so much to

offer students of all ages and at all stages of life.

Sincerely,

Dr. Edward J. Yaw

President, County College of Morris

NEWS and NOTESA Faster Track for Earning a Degree

Starting with the Fall 2014 Semester, County College of Morris launched a more flexible term schedule that now allows students to more easily meet their academic goals within the time frame they desire.

Added to the new schedule each semester are 14, 10, eight and five-week “mini terms,” along with the traditional 16-week term. By taking classes in one of the condensed terms, students can more quickly complete courses and then register for other courses they need.

“By being a little more creative in the way we schedule classes, students should be able to meet their goals faster,” notes Dr. Bette Simmons, vice president of Student Development and Enrollment Management.

For example, if a student needs to take a condensed developmental English class during one of the short terms, he or she will not need to wait for the following semester to then take English Composition I. Now the option is available for the student to take the next class in one of the mini terms within the same semester.

How to Succeed in College 101College is not only about obtaining a degree. It’s also about

personal growth and developing the life skills one needs for ongoing success. For a generation raised on smart phones and technology, transitioning from high school to college can be particularly challenging. How does one utilize technology for education and business? What is the importance of self-reflection, setting goals and time management?

To assist students with making the transition from high school to college, County College of Morris launched its College Student Success Course last fall. The course is mandatory for students in certain majors who are required to take a develop-mental writing class, but also is open to other

interested students. Through the course, students learn about time management, online education, goal setting, stress management, motivation and more.

“In high school when you run into a challenge, the expectation is that parents or teachers will come and help you,” says Professor James Hart, who piloted the course and teaches several sections. “This course is about self-reflection and what behaviors students can engage in to be successful.”

Apparently the course is filling a need and meeting with high praise from many who have taken the class. Here are just a

few comments:“I think every

college student should take this course.”

“I have learned a lot during these past few

weeks about being prepared for college. The most useful thing I have learned and incorporated into my life

has been to sort out my priorities.”

“All of the things I learned in the …

class were and will always be

very useful to me.”

NEWS and NOTESCCM Honor Society Named One of Best Internationally

The Phi Theta Kappa (PTK) Honor Society chapter at County College of Morris (CCM) once again earned high recognition this past academic year.

Alpha Kappa Kappa (AKK), CCM’s chapter of the international honor society that recognizes the scholarly pursuits of two-year college students, received three prestigious awards at the organization’s annual conference in Orlando, FL, held last April.

Topping the list of accolades presented to AKK was the Distinguished Chapter Award, given to only 50 chapters internationally. The CCM chapter also received the Distinguished Honors in Action Project Award. In addition, AKK was named one of the top 100 PTK chapters internationally.

The awards came a month after the PTK Middle States Regional Convention, where AKK won numerous awards including the coveted Distinguished Chapter Award. That honor is given to the chapter chosen as the region’s best each year.

The 2013-14 academic year officers were Anhelina Mahdzyar, president, of Randolph; Kelby Clark, vice president of leadership, of Pine Brook; Aaron DelMundo, vice president of fel-lowship, of Randolph; Renata Mauriz, vice president of service, of Succasunna; Angelique Onorati, vice president of scholarship, of Mendham; Nicole Russo, treasurer, of Hopatcong; and Carlos Herrera, secretary, of Morristown.

Computer Science Student Develops CCM Mobile APP

With a passion for math, music and computer science, Trevor Florio, of Long Valley, a computer science major at County College of Morris (CCM), decided to take his interest in uncovering the patterns of things by creating his own pattern and developing a mobile app for CCM.

The County College of Morris app he developed provides information on academic majors, course descriptions, contact information for department chairs, college policies, café hours and menus, and more. The app basically covers all the essentials students are interested in.

“I developed it from the perspective of a student. I’m hearing students talk about what they are looking for, and I know what they are thinking because I’m one of them,” says Florio.

To develop the app, he taught himself how to work with the Android Software Development Kit and in three months was able to complete and launch the County College of Morris app in Google Play Store.

By Kathleen Brunet Eagan

As college tuitions continue to rise and more and more graduates find themselves struggling under the burden of student loans, many have begun to question the value of a college education.

The return on investment (ROI), however, is higher earnings during the course of a person’s work life, along with increased career opportunities.

A recent study (http://tinyurl.com/9f2touo) by Michael Greenstone and Adam Looney of the Brookings Institu-tion’s Hamilton Project looked at where the best place is to invest $102,000 – in stocks, bonds or a college degree. Their findings? Investing that money in a college education generates an investment return of 15.2 per-cent per year in earnings. That is more than double the average return of stock market investments since the 1950s, and more than five times the return of corporate bonds, gold, long-term government bonds and home ownership.

70 Percent Higher EarningsAs noted by Greenstone and Looney, at age 22 the

average college graduate with a bachelor’s degree earns about 70 percent more than the average person with a high school diploma only. In 2010, a bachelor’s degree holder at age 50 was earning approximately $46,500 more a year than someone with only a high school diploma.

The value is even greater for those who complete their first two years at a community college – at an average national cost of $5,200 – and then transfer to a four-year institution to earn their bachelor’s degree. Those stu-dents not only enjoy the greater earnings that typically come with a bachelor’s degree, they also are able to earn that degree at a significantly reduced cost, increas-ing their ROI. Equally noteworthy, they are able to begin their careers minus the burden of hefty student loans or even with no debt at all.

As the American Association of Community Colleges recently noted in its study, community colleges are, “Where Value Meets Values.” Want to learn more about your community college? Visit www.ccm.edu.

Hot Jobs for the 21st Century


Information Security Certificate

By Nancy Dreyfus

Barely a day passes when there isn’t a news story related to information security – the plundering of Target’s credit-card database and Edward Snowden’s breach of national security files being just two examples.

For those interested in entering the field of government and corporate security, County College of Morris (CCM) offers an Information Secu-rity Certificate of Achievement. The 15-credit certificate program is endorsed by the Committee on National Security Systems. CCM is the first and only community college in New Jersey to be granted this certification through the National Security Agency.

Ethical Hacking

One skill students learn in the program is called ethical hacking.

“With the permission of the company, you are trying to break into their computer system and get past their defenses,” says Patricia Tamburelli, assistant professor, information technologies. “For teaching purposes, everything we do is in a controlled lab envi-ronment. There is no such thing as a 100 percent secure system. There is always a way in. It’s just a matter of how long it will take you to find it.”

According to Tamburelli, a study released last year reported that information security is one of the fastest growing job fields. “There

are not enough people to keep up with the job demand. In the coming years, the U.S. government will need 20,000 to 30,000 information security analysts to combat this worldwide problem.”

In many cases, attacks are inside jobs because employees have access

to information. However, Tam-burelli notes, “An attacker could be anyone, anywhere – from a

14-year-old sitting in his or her bedroom, to an organized syndicate or government unit.”

Becoming a Cyber Defender

Students do not have to be information technology majors to earn the certificate. “We also get students studying computer science, secure programming and coding, telecommunications networking and criminal justice,” says Tamburelli.

Graduates can secure jobs in helpdesk consulting, network administration, corporate security, information technology and information security.

“This is definitely a stepping stone to becoming a cyber defender of our country,” says Tamburelli. “If you get a job at a company and are defending as best as you can, you are helping with the war on cybercrime.”

CybercrimeHelping in the Fight Against


Patricia Tamburelli’s favorite leisure activity is reading fictional crime novels, which isn’t far removed from what she teaches students in her information security classes. Like a typical character from those books, she never set out to become an expert in her field. It just happened.

“I never planned to be a teacher,” says Tamburelli, assistant professor of information technologies. “When I was ready to graduate from college, a middle school teacher in my hometown didn’t show up. The principal called my mother and asked if I could fill in. On the first day there, I realized that this was what I should be doing all my life.”

She taught in middle school, then at a business college and eventually became an adjunct instructor at County College of Morris (CCM), working her way up to a full-time position.

How she became involved in defending against cybercrime was also serendipitous. After launching a web design certificate at CCM, she began searching for the next important development in the field.

“My husband was a retired policeman, so the field of information security drew my at-tention,” she says. In 1999, she attended the Colloquium for Information Systems Security Education (CISSE) sponsored by the Department of Defense in Washington. “I started building information security courses and a program matching the federal 4011 training standards.” Today, she is on the board of directors for CISSE and is involved in developing CCM's reputation as a regional center for information security training.

Sharpening Skills through Competitions

Tamburelli sharpens her skills by participating in national cyber competitions. “You’re given a scenario and you have to attack and defend a network. You get points for attacking or defending successfully.”

She also works on two academic task forces – Cyberwatch and the National Institute for Standards and Technology. “We’re developing a national curriculum in information security education so everyone is teaching the same thing.”

Like a character out of one of her favorite crime novels, Tamburelli spends a great deal of her time working with top government and private industry experts to protect against crime – in her case cybersecurity – proving that truth can sometimes be stranger than fiction.

NSF Grant Strengthens STEM Programs at CCMPreparing Students to Take Advantage of Strong Job Growth AreasBy Nancy Dreyfus

The National Science Foundation (NSF) recently awarded County College of Morris (CCM) a $200,000 grant – one of the largest academic grants in the history of the college – to support a new initiative aimed at preparing a larger number of graduates for the strong growth fields of biotechnology, chemical technology and environmental science.

“From my understanding, a community college receiving this grant is very uncommon,” says Jenifer Martin, assistant professor of biol-ogy, who worked on the grant along with its principal investigator, Keri Flanagan, assistant professor of chemistry.

“We applied for the grant because, among other things, we wanted to introduce new teaching methods and an expanded internship program,” says Flanagan. Despite the economy, the U.S. is currently faced with a shortage of STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) workers. The grant funds will be used to launch the Pathways of Applied Career Experience (PACE) science program at CCM.

“The primary goal of the PACE program is to provide a wider population of students with pathways for applied industry experience so they can better take advantage of employment opportunities,” says Flanagan. “As part of this program, we also will be working closely with industry representatives to ensure that our students are provided with the education, training and skills to meet the needs of employers.”

Learning by Doing

In the classrooms, science faculty will be incorporating Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning (POGIL) activities into a number of classes. POGIL is a student-centered strategy that engages students 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. “Through the process, students learn how to work effectively with others, develop problem solving skills and hone an ability to apply knowledge to new concepts, all skills needed to succeed in today’s work environment.”

Faculty ProfileMaking Science ElementalJenifer Martin, Assistant Professor, Biology

When Jenifer Martin attended college in her native Southern California, she originally set out to become a social worker.

“I started out as a psychology major, but then I took a neuropsychology class and became fascinated with brain chemistry and physiology,” says Martin, assistant pro-fessor of biology at County College of Morris (CCM). She added biochemistry to her major at California State University, then went on to earn a master’s degree in molecular biophysics and biochemistry at Yale.

When she graduated, she sought a position in biopharmaceutical research. Unable to find one, her brother-in-law, who worked at an art institute, suggested she fill a position there as a science teacher.

“I found that I really enjoyed teaching, so I began looking for academic positions,” says Martin.

While starting her teaching career at an art school, she discovered that her greatest hurdle – and sense of accomplishment – came from finding ways to reach students who did not typically “get” science.

“Trying to reach creative people in more creative ways was a challenge,” she admits. “But it was gratifying to see students who struggled with science in the past come to understand it.”

She says that being a teacher requires patience. “There are times you think you are being very clear about a concept and you see a student who doesn’t understand. You have to realize that not everybody thinks the same way. My class materials are constantly evolving so I can reach as many students as possible.” She does that by incorporating videos and podcasts into her courses, as well as spending time with students outside of class.

Science Career Creates Unique World View

A career in science has offered Martin a unique world view. “Biology is the study of life and that’s all around us. I have an eight-month-old child now and the new thought on teaching your children anything like language is that talking to them helps them learn.”

So she picks up flowers to show her daughter and talks about monocots, dicots and chemical elements, as only a science teacher would. Martin admits it might be an unusual approach to parenting, but quips, “I may have the only toddler out there who already knows some of the chemical elements!”

Being a chemistry major at CCM was challenging and rewarding. It was valuable to have a small

cohort of students taking the same classes as me, providing a strong peer backbone, combined with sup-

portive teachers whose doors were always open for extra help and questions. I’m making a career change to

become a physician’s assistant and, after applying to several schools, I’ve already been accepted by one for

the 2015 school year. CCM was a great stepping stone for what I needed for my master’s degree.

By Nancy Dreyfus

Diana Aria, assistant professor, psychology and education at County College of Morris (CCM), knows that teaching is not just a career; it’s a calling. Fortunately for students who wish to pursue that calling, it’s also a profession that is in great demand.

“The U.S. Department of Education reports that over the next 10 years, more than two million teachers will be needed,” notes John Williford, chair of the Department of Psycholo-gy and Education. In New Jersey alone, 4,540 teaching positions for primary, secondary and special-education teachers are expected to be available annually until 2020.

To meet that demand, CCM created its Teacher Education Program in 10 different specializations, each providing a strong foundation for teaching grades K-12. Those specializations are biology, chemistry, math, English, Spanish, psychology, sociology, history, visual arts and physical education.

As a result of the transfer agreements CCM has established with Centenary College and William Paterson University, associate degree graduates can seamlessly transfer to those schools to com-plete their teaching educations. Students have also successfully transferred to many other colleges and universities including the College of New Jersey, Kean University, Montclair State University,

New Jersey City University, the New Jersey Institute of Technology, Ramapo College and Rutgers University.

Experience and Portfolios that Make a Real Difference

Students earn their associate degrees with a concentration in teacher education that provides 25 or more hours in teaching

observation, as well as a portfolio.

“There are 119 participating schools within 34 districts in Morris County and surround-ing areas where our students can observe teachers,” Aria says. “We’re very fortunate to have that many schools working with us. If a student wants a school not listed, we will call and ask. Most schools are very receptive.”

The CCM Teacher Education program aligns with the New Jersey standard of teaching and licensure. “Because our students develop portfolios, that puts them one step ahead when they enter a four-year college,” notes Aria. Portfolios include documents from teacher observation, a student's philoso-phy of education, teaching strategies the student created while in the classroom and information about culturally responsive teaching.

“When faculty members from four-year schools view our students’ portfolios, they become very excited to receive our students at their schools,” says Aria.

A Calling in Great Demand

I went into teaching because I love working with kids and I love art. I really enjoyed

going to CCM. The overall warmth and kindness of the teachers was what made it great there.

They inspired me to be a better teacher and artist. The faculty and the administration took care

of any questions or issues I had. Today, I work as an art teacher, and I love coming into school

every day. It’s great working with children, seeing their creativity and learning from them.

Faculty ProfileLeading with a Sense of PurposeJohn Williford, Chair, Assistant Professor, Psychology and Education

John Williford is an award-winning teacher and licensed professional counselor who grew up in the small rural town of Ahoskie, NC. When he graduated from college, he began teaching, first in high school and then at the college level. Today, he is chair of the Department of Psychology and Education at County College of Morris (CCM). But the most notable thread running through his life is the desire to help others.

“I’m very involved in the inner city community of Newark, feeding the hungry, providing clothing and work-ing alongside my wife, who runs the Passport of Success Program out of the Willing Heart Community Center,” he says. Every year, the center gives out 4,000 book bags filled with school supplies to area students. He also holds seminars addressing violence in the inner city and lectures across the East Coast on diversity, violence in the inner city and family relationships.

Speaking Into People’s Lives

At CCM, he enjoys the process of engaging young people in their learning.

“I like to see people move from passive observers to passionate par-takers, embracing new opportunities,” says Williford. “Some students come in with intellectual challenges and I like to encourage them to move forward. It’s a two-year program. If it takes you four years, that’s OK. I do the same thing at the center. Maybe you’ve suffered with drug and mental health issues, but the fact that you’ve come through this door means that there’s a new beginning,” he explains.

“My overall vision is to encourage my faculty in their de-velopment and to encourage students in their development. I’ve watched some of my students struggle. The same students who struggled are now in graduate and Ph.D. programs and that’s because they had someone to speak into their lives.”

Williford places a high priority on helping people to find their life purpose.

“I believe that we are all here to leave a lasting impression,” he says. “I believe that people are basically good and people make mistakes, but people can recover from their mistakes and do some wonderful and awesome things. People are not always born into wonderful situations, but you have inside of you what you need to make positive changes for yourself. Things can happen, but we are not victims forever. Life is what you choose to make it.”

International Student Finds Best Pathway for Success at CCMKleo Purbollari, Engineering Science, Looks to Create a More Sustainable Society

By Rick Burchfield

For Kleo Purbollari, the opportunities his hard work earned him during high school in his home country of Albania were limitless.

Purbollari’s high school grades were top notch and he scored very high on Albania’s senior-year standardized tests, earning him placement in the country’s top-ranked school, its medical university. That meant he could choose any school in the country – for free.

However, after analyzing his options and mapping out the best plan for success, he found that County College of Morris (CCM) offered him the opportunity he was seeking.

“I know it sounds crazy to pass that up, but I really be-lieve that a degree in the United States will open my access to the world market,” he explains.

Specifically, he was looking for an engineering program that was close to his uncle’s home in Lincoln Park, where he’d be staying. And, as an international student, he needed to make sure an education in America would be affordable since he’d be paying out-of-state rates and financial aid would be hard to obtain.

He researched the possibilities and found that CCM had the program he wanted, the proximity he needed and, even at out-of-state rates, was affordable.

Surpassing Expectations

Knowing only what he had read online in forums about CCM’s student body and campus, he was surprised at what he found.

“The engineering science program here is intense,” he says. “Taking three classes at CCM is the equivalent of taking four or five classes at some other four-year institutions I’ve researched. The smaller classes here also really promote learning; the process is

more productive. I truly believe that it’s a better way to learn.”

He also found other students with similar academic apti-tudes and the professors impressed him too.

“Professor (Venny) Fuentes was super helpful,” he says of the chair of the Engineering Technologies/

Engineering Science department at CCM. “If it wasn’t for his help, I may have taken six credits that wouldn’t have counted toward my major,” says Purbollari. “I’ll always be thankful to him.”

Now in his second year at CCM, he plans to transfer to a top-ranked, four-year engineering program next fall, considering such schools as

Columbia and Northwestern. He has already left a mark at CCM, serving this semester as president

of the Student Government Association and having recreated the Active Minds club, a group that aims to

increase awareness about mental health issues.

His goal is to take what he learns and help build a more sustainable society. “I love math, I love engineering and I love to build,” he says.

Among the things Nicole Zezza, of Fairfield, has learned as a radiologic technologist with one of the nation’s top orthopedic hospitals is that life can change in a matter of seconds.

One young patient she encountered was only 3 years old when she entered the doors of the Hospital for Special Surgery in Manhattan where Zezza works. “She’d been playing outside, fell into some tall grass and one of her legs was sucked into a lawn mower,” recalls Zezza. “The driver just didn’t see her until it was too late.” Her leg was badly mangled.

“She had eight operations, but today she’s 14 years old and if you didn’t see the scars on her leg, you’d never know anything happened to her. She walks perfectly.”

Zezza works with both adult and pediatric patients at the hospital. Watching people return to normal functioning, she says, makes her job rewarding.

Consistent Outstanding Performance

When Zezza graduated from County College of Morris (CCM) with an Associate in Applied Science in Radiography in 2011, she was presented with the Outstanding Student Award for Clinical Excellence. From CCM, she went directly into New York to successfully compete against 20 other candidates from the tri-state area for her job. For the past two years, her employer has ranked her as a top-five tech for workload productivity based on quarterly reports.

The Hospital for Special Surgery is one of the world’s largest academic centers devoted to orthopedic imaging. Its radiologists have developed new protocols for the diagnostic imaging of bones, tendons, ligaments and other soft tissues.

“I conduct real-time digital X-rays, called fluoroscopy, to guide doctors during surgery,” says Zezza. Her unit is primarily involved in broken bone repair, knee and hip replacement and cor-rection of scoliosis in children.

“Patients, including celebrities, fly here from all over the world,” she notes. “When the players from the Giants or Mets are hurt, they come to us.”

She credits her professors at CCM with preparing her well for her profession. “They taught me how to deal with patients, the right and wrong things to do in any given situation and how to react under stress in the operating room.”

Scholarship Student Seizes Her Right to

Be HappyCaitlyn Mannherz, Business Administration, Takes Hold of Success the Second Time Around

By Rick Burchfield

Caitlyn Mannherz went to college once before. The Morris Plains resident came to County College of Morris (CCM) in 2008. Back then, however, she says, she wasn’t ready for school. Six years later, she has earned a 3.9 GPA, is part of the college’s national honor society, is a scholarship winner and has a personal mission statement.

What drove this drastic change? It was a combination of a chance encounter, a renewed commitment and the support of the college she returned to that made the difference.

No Right to Be Unhappy

Unsure of what she wanted to do after dropping out of college, she attended cosmetology school. When a woman, a cancer patient, walked in and asked to have her head shaved, Mannherz found her inspiration.

“I saw that there were strong people out there who were going through real struggles who needed love and care,” she recalls. “I knew I wanted to provide that, and my former path wasn’t going to allow me to.”

She began creating change in herself. Self-described as being mentally and physically unhealthy at that time – she was diagnosed with metabolic syndrome at age 21 – she began changing her eating and exercise habits, which eventually resulted in her losing 140 pounds.

“I got sick of being the victim,” she explains. “I realized I had no right to be unhappy when others were fighting through significant problems.”

She also decided it was time to go back to college. At CCM, Mannherz says, she has found many great professors, but two in particular, Dr. Marcia Picallo and Cliff Schmidt, have had a major influence on her life.

CCM Foundation


"They were both wonderful at presenting information and passionate about what they do and teach,” she

says. “That’s the passion I now have for my goals.” She also is very thankful for the financial help she’s received through the $2,500 scholarship she was awarded from the CCM Foundation.

Mannherz plans to graduate with her associate degree in January and to begin working on her bachelor’s degree at Florida Gulf Coast University. She wants to earn a pre-medical degree in biology, with the ultimate goal of becoming a naturopathic doctor. “It combines traditional natural healing methods with the principles and practices of modern science in an attempt to restore the body’s inherent ability to maintain optimal health,” she explains.

Her other goals include researching oncology and infectious disease; publishing books on mind, body, spirit and medicine; lecturing and teaching; and owning her own wellness center.

Her personal mission statement is: “To improve the quality of the human

experience for as many people as possible. To live a life of happiness, love

and wellness, and to inspire others to do the same.”
