Morris College President Hosts Global Interview

Technology is constantly changing the world we live in and connect us globally.

Dr. Edward J. Yaw, president of County College of Morris (CCM) and host of the TV program Campus Connect, recently interviewed Dr. Joel Ericson, the director of the Fulbright Program in Russia, and J. David Armstrong, president of Broward College in Fort Lauderdale, FL, on his latest broadcast.

Yaw discussed his participation in the Fulbright Community College Administrator's Seminar in Russia with Ericson and Armstrong, two individuals he met during his visit.

Armstrong was one of four community college leaders who joined Yaw during the seminar. The group spent two weeks meeting with higher education and other officials in Kazan and Moscow, sharing ideas and insights about professional education, workforce development and the performing arts.

This year also happened to be the 40th anniversary of Fulbright in Russia, making the trip extra special. The anniversary was something Yaw discussed with Ericson during the program.

Campus Connect, produced by the Media Center at CCM, currently airs Tuesdays and Thursdays at 4, 6 and 9 p.m. on Cablevision Channel 77 and Verizon FiOS Channel 40 throughout Morris County.
