                       Wednesday, April 27, 2016

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the County 
College of Morris (CCM), located in Randolph, New Jersey, for its 
remarkable record as an institution of higher learning.
  Since its foundation in 1968, the County College of Morris has been a 
model of success, and has represented the standard of the academic 
excellence associated with the great state of New Jersey. CCM offers 
more than 50 associate degrees and more than 25 certificate programs, 
in addition to a wide selection of career and professional programs. 
The institution has one of the highest graduation and transfer rates 
among community colleges in New Jersey.
  The County College of Morris has a diverse campus and enriching 
academic and social environments that have created a culture ripe for 
personal and academic growth. CCM has become a place for students to 
reach their true potentials, as well as a community resource for those 
seeking to further their careers through additional education.
  In the classroom, students at the County College of Morris have 
repeatedly excelled in every department, from the math and sciences, to 
business, to the liberal arts. Graduates have pursued respected 
careers, going on to become doctors, engineers, nurses, teachers, and 
civil servants. CCM's dynamic academic programs have challenged 
students, and pushed them to produce high-level work.
  Students at CCM are not limited to just academic success. With more 
than 45 active student organizations, nine intercollegiate varsity 
sports teams, and countless community service opportunities, students 
have demonstrated excellence outside of the classroom. The County 
College of Morris is home to two award-winning student publications: 
its newspaper, The Youngtown Edition and its graphic arts and literary 
magazine, The Promethean. In the performing arts, students have the 
opportunity to participate in high-quality musical theater and drama 
productions, or can join CCM's acclaimed Dance Theatre troupe.
  Under the exceptional leadership and vision of its president for 30 
years, Dr. Edward J. Yaw, CCM has continued to modernize and has become 
one of the finer academic institutions in New Jersey. The college 
ensures that its students have all of the necessary resources to 
develop the skills crucial for success in the world beyond the 
classroom.
  Since its founding, CCM has been a driving force in the lives of 
thousands of successful students who have passed through its halls. 
Graduates over the years continue to serve as leaders and role models 
in their communities all over the country. Thanks to the work of its 
renowned faculty and staff, like Dr. Yaw, CCM will continue to offer a 
first class education to those who seek to pursue higher learning.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in honoring and 
recognizing the achievements of the County College of Morris and those 
who devote themselves to its continuing success as an institution of 
higher learning.
