]]>RANDOLPH, NJ — County College of Morris (CCM) is proud to announce that Melissa Albright, vice president of Marketing, Public Relations & Enrollment Management, has been named to ROI-NJ's Influencers: Women in Business 2024 list. ROI-NJ, a highly respected business publication in the state, released the list showcasing the depth of talent among female leaders in the Garden State.
“Melissa Albright is an exemplary leader who has done an exceptional job advancing the mission of the college. Over the past few years, she has earned a national reputation for her leadership and has set the bar for other colleges and universities to reach. CCM is proud to have her as a member of its senior leadership team. Her work at the college has had a profound impact on campus and across the communities we serve,” said Dr. Anthony Iacono, President of County College of Morris.
Albright was recognized on the list for her many accomplishments as a leader in higher education at CCM and is the only community college leader highlighted. ROI-NJ specifically credited her for helping the community college to be awarded almost $3 million in grants over the past two years. She has received recognition among other organizations as well, including being named the 2023 National Rising Star by the National Council for Marketing & Public Relations (NCMPR).
Among the recent grants CCM was awarded, with the help of Albright, was the Lumina Foundation’s Million Dollar Community College Challenge grant. CCM received $100,000, which is being used towards a website redesign. Albright co-wrote the college’s submission and developed strategies for the challenge. Additionally, the college was awarded another $150,000 from the Lumina Foundation, toward environmental branding on the campus. Most recently, her division was awarded a $2.25 million grant that is part of the U.S. Department of Education’s Title III Part A Programs – Strengthening Institutions and then received a $150,000 grant from the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education as an initiative to help students who started college but never completed their degree.
Albright had years of experience in the private sector and as a middle school teacher before joining CCM in 2020. In 2022, she became a change leader as the new Vice President of Marketing, Public Relations & Enrollment Management when the college merged the areas into one division. Under her leadership, CCM’s fall enrollment increased by 5 percent, exceeding the average 2.5 percent increase experienced amongst community colleges nationwide. Albright prioritizes culture, collaboration and creativity to ensure her departments are serving students with excellence. She is passionate about promoting the college to the students who need CCM the most and ensuring their success.
"It is an honor to be recognized alongside the many successful and outstanding women across New Jersey. When the work you do everyday benefits people in the community, it is not work, it is a privilege and I truly love what I do. I count it a blessing to lead and work with the most creative and dedicated individuals,” said Melissa Albright, vice president of Marketing, Public Relations & Enrollment Management at CCM.
CCM offers more than 100 programs, including associate degree programs and an extensive selection of industry-recognized certificate and workforce development programs. CCM’s Center for Workforce Development provides a highly educated and skilled workforce for regional employment and offers customized training for individuals and local businesses.

]]>If you are looking for a delicious St.Patrick’s Day recipe, Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace has got the perfect one for you.
The Corned Beef Hash with eggs, caramelized onions, potatoes and of course corned beef make up this glorious recipe.
Ingredients:
• 1 lb cooked corned beef (scraps or whole pieces)
• 1 lb baby Yukon or baby bliss or both mixed
• 1 large Spanish onion
• 4 large jalapeno peppers
• 2 sprigs rosemary
• chopped chives for garnish
• 8 oz olive oil
• 3 large eggs
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp salt (divided)
• 1 tsp black pepper
Directions for the potatoes and peppers:
1. Steam potatoes whole for 25-30 minutes.
2. Once potatoes are cooled, lay potatoes on a paper lined baking tray and gently “pop” them by pressing down enough for skin to break but gentle enough where potato stays in-tact.
3. Cut top off jalapeño, cut jalapeno in half lengthwise, place on the same tray.
4. Drizzle with oil, salt and pepper.
4. Place tray in a preheated 450F oven for 15 minutes
5. Remove from heat and set aside
Directions for the caramelized onion:
1. Place a large sauté pan on medium heat.
2. Add ¼ cup oil and sliced onions to pan.
3. Stir onions for 30-45 minutes, make sure the bottom doesn’t burn. Once onions are very soft remove from heat.
Directions for the hash:
1. Chop or shred corned beef by hand. Place in large mixing bowl.
2. Add “popped” potatoes, roasted jalapeños and caramelized onion to bowl.
3. Chop 1 sprig of rosemary, add to bowl.
4. Mix gently until all ingredients are incorporated and avoid breaking potatoes too much.
5. Preheat a medium non-stick pan (seasoned or enamel coated cast iron would be best).
6. Place portion of hash into pan. Mix around for 2-3 minutes to achieve slight browning. Once hash has been slightly browned, pack it together in the pan with a rubber spatula to form something similar to a patty. Create small pockets for eggs to go into.
7. Place a tab of butter into each pocket. Crack egg right into hash pocket. Cook for 1 minute on the stove and then place into preheated oven and broil 2 minutes for easy, 3-4 minutes for medium and 5-6 minutes for hard.
8. Remove corned beef hash from oven. Garnish with chopped chives and rosemary leaves.
You can find the ingredients at Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace, 380 Downing Drive, Yorktown Heights.
