County College Of Morris Names New President

RANDOLPH, N.J. – For just the third time in its history, the County College of Morris has named a new president.

At its Wednesday night meeting, the County College of Morris Board of Trustees named Dr. Anthony Iacono as its newest president, effective September 1 when Dr. Edward J. Yaw retires.

Iacano brings more than 20 years of higher education experience with him to the position and is currently Vice President of Academic Affairs at Indian River State College in Fort Pierce, Florida.

“Dr. Iacono brings a notable passion for student success and a comprehensive understanding of the important roles that community colleges play,” said Dr. Joseph L. Ricca, chair of the Board of Trustees. “His expertise in creating innovative approaches to teaching and learning, developing community partnerships and securing grants and other funding provides a distinct advantage as CCM seeks to build upon its record of success for offering high-quality academic programs and career, transfer and professional development programs to serve the community and region.”

“I am deeply honored to have been selected as the next president of County College of Morris and I greatly appreciate the confidence that the search committee and the Board of Trustees have entrusted in me,” said Iacono. “CCM is an exceptional institution that has achieved significant success since its creation in 1968. For more than 30 years, it has benefited enormously from the vision and leadership of Dr. Edward Yaw, its Board of Trustees, its administrative team, talented faculty and staff, as well as members of the community who have dedicated themselves to creating a college that has changed countless lives. As an individual who is passionate about helping people improve their future through education, strengthening communities through partnerships, economic growth and cultural enrichment, and pioneering innovative approaches to learning, I look forward to leading CCM and working with a talented team of people who share that passion. As an educator, my greatest focus is student success and CCM is well positioned to support its students today and for generations to come.”

The search for CCM’s third president took about seven months.
