County College of Morris (CCM) President Anthony J. Iacono has gained another recognition from ROI-NJ, a highly recognized business publication in the state, which has included him as one of the prominent officials on its Influencers: Power List 2023 – Higher Education.
In its ranking, ROI-NJ credited Iacono for his “out-of-the-box thinking” that has made CCM “better than almost everyone else.” Iacono was one of only two community college presidents included on this year’s list.
ROI-NJ previously has named Iacono to its list of Influencers: Higher Education Top 25 Most Influential Presidents (2022), Influencers: Manufacturing (2020), Influencers Power List Higher Education (2022, 2021, 2020) and Influencers Higher Education Community Colleges (2021).
“It’s such a special honor to be recognized by ROI-NJ as a respected higher education leader in the state and to be included on this list that includes such talented and influential people who have contributed so significantly to the success of students,” said Iacono. “CCM is proud of and grateful for the support it receives and the partnerships it enjoys in fulfilling its mission of helping people to improve their lives. One of the things I enjoy most about leading a community college is working with others and establishing the relationships that make it possible for people to fulfill their dreams.”
Among the other recent recognitions CCM has received are being ranked as Best Community College in New Jersey by Best Accredited Colleges and as Best for Transfer Students in the state by Intelligent. It also received a Good Neighbor Award from New Jersey Business Magazine for its Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Center, confirming the college as a frontrunner in preparing students for successful careers.
In addition to offering degrees, CCM has become one of New Jersey’s economic engines by offering industry-recognized credentials to provide a highly educated and skilled workforce for regional employment. CCM’s Center for Workforce Development also operates a highly successful apprenticeship program in advanced manufacturing with a 92 percent employment rate.
