County College of Morris recognizes students with leadership and performing arts awards
RANDOLPH TOWNSHIP, NJ (Morris County) – More than 25 students at County College of Morris (CCM) were recognized shortly before graduation for their contributions to enhancing the life of the college and the community at large.
The students were presented with awards at the 54th Annual Campus Life Appreciation Dinner Dance held in May at Meadow Wood Manor. Participating in the event were CCM President Anthony J. Iacono, CCM Board of Trustees Chair George Milonas, Trustees Barbara Hadzima and Paul Licitra, Campus Life Director Don Phelps, Chair of the Department of Music, Performing Arts and Music Technologies Marielaine Mammon, Senior Vice President of Academic Affairs, Workforce Development and Student Success Patrick Enright, and Executive Director of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion Julian Gomez.
“The Campus Life Appreciation Dinner Dance is one of CCM’s longest-running events,” said Phelps. “It was initiated in 1969 to bring recognition to honor those individuals and groups who have made valuable contributions to CCM by helping to provide a diversified and substantial program of co-curricular and extra-curricular activities for the entire student body and the campus community. This includes those involved in student clubs and organizations and performing arts productions at CCM: student leaders, performers, production staff, advisors and directors.”
