Opening Doors: How Community College Changes Lives

Calling all parents, college students, prospective college students, educators, and general public interested in the important role community colleges play. RSVP for the Zoom link! 

Summit College Club is excited to welcome Dr. Margaret McMenamin, President of Union College of Union County, New Jersey (UCNJ), to speak with us in a virtual meeting about the important role that community colleges play, not only in the lives of individual students but also in the country's higher education system and, in turn, in the vitality of our communities.

Dr. McMenamin is a forward-thinking educator, a dynamic change leader, and a compelling speaker. She was appointed President of UCNJ (then Union County College) in 2010, becoming the first woman to hold the position. Since then, her student-centered, data-informed strategy has driven dramatic increases in graduation rates and overall student engagement. Under her leadership, the College has been a finalist or semifinalist for the Aspen Prize, which recognizes community college excellence.
