                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 28, 2009

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize County 
College of Morris (CCM) in Randolph Township, Morris County, New 
Jersey, a distinguished institution of higher education I am proud to 
represent! On April 24, 2009, the college will celebrate its Fortieth 
Anniversary.
  CCM was founded in 1968 to provide challenging, yet affordable, 
education opportunities for local students. This ideal is still upheld 
today, as CCM continues to maintain high academic standards, as well as 
low tuition costs.
  At the time of its inception, CCM had only one building and less than 
1,300 students. Under the direction of Dr. Sherman H. Masten, the 
college's first president, CCM expanded to include an additional five 
buildings and an enrollment that peaked at 12,012 students in 1982. 
President Dr. Edward Yaw has continued the expansion and renovation of 
the campus, and under his guidance, CCM has become the state-of-the-art 
educational facility it is today.
  The college currently offers 87 degree and certificate programs and 
has over 8,500 students enrolled in undergraduate studies. CCM has a 
true tradition of excellence which, thanks to its outstanding 
leadership, superior faculty and staff and motivated students. CCM is 
one of the foremost community colleges in New Jersey and the nation.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating the 
County College of Morris on the celebration of 40 years of service to 
the State of New Jersey and Morris County.
