Lifelong learning is one of the most critical missions of

community colleges and the Division of Continuing

Education, Corporate and Public Sector Training is the

bridge to accomplishing that goal for students of all ages at

Bergen Community College.

Government officials from the county freeholder boards to

the president of the United States have tasked community

colleges with the responsibility for providing quality educa-

tion that is accessible, affordable and flexible and that ad-

dresses the demands of the job market. That’s why the Division of Continuing Education has

added more than 60 new courses this year, including a new aviation course and new business

courses for women who are looking to return to the workplace or start a new career. The Divi-

sion is introducing new certificate programs including The Green Pathways to Employment Cer-

tificate Program to prepare skilled green workers for emerging Renewable Energy and Energy

Efficiency sector jobs.

Bergen’s Division of Continuing Education has garnered a reputation for progressive and

unique courses in environmental sustainability, healthcare professions, technology, non-profit

management — even wedding and event planning certification. Some of the Division’s other

popular courses include fashion design and interior design certification programs, Kids and

Teens Programs, the New Pathways to Teaching in New Jersey program and sign language.

Whether they come to Bergen to enhance their careers or to embark on new ones, learners with

widely varied backgrounds and educational levels find the training, development and enrich-

ment courses to expand their horizons here. From senior citizens enrolled in courses through

the Institute of Learning in Retirement, to building contractors seeking opportunities in emerg-

ing green technologies, Continuing Education students come to Bergen to improve their pro-

fessional skills and expand their knowledge in subjects of personal interest.

Students throughout Bergen County need not travel far; the College offers Continuing Educa-

tion courses at the Ciarco Learning Center in Hackensack and Bergen Community College at the

Meadowlands in Lyndhurst as well as on the main campus in Paramus.

Students also may opt to choose between the hundreds of online courses also available

through the Division of Continuing Education.

So, if you seek personal and professional growth, I invite you to pursue the next step in your

lifelong learning endeavors and register for one of Bergen Community College’s Continuing

Education programs.

G. Jeremiah RyanPresident of Bergen Community College

an associate’s degree.

ues to be a community of learners. Whether in the classroom, online or onsite, we provide cor-

porate training that serves both individuals and companies.

THE AMERICAN EXPERIENCE

Have you ever wondered why our founding fathers designed the Constitution the way

they did? And why the U.S. Supreme Court has the only say as to what is or what is not

Constitutional? Did you know that New Jersey had a significant role in the Suffragette

Movement? Who was Mathew B. Brady and what was his role during the Civil War? How

did Theodore Roosevelt cope with late 19th century corporate corruption, while battling

national issues such as an energy crisis?

The courses in this section will explore the U.S. Constitution; what it says and does not

say. You will gain knowledge about New Jersey born Alice Paul and the Suffragette

Movement from 1900 to 1920, and have the opportunity to discover the interesting lives

and times of Theodore Roosevelt and Mathew B. Brady, Civil War photojournalist.

Paul’s Quaker background isexplored in an effort to understand her strongadvocacy of women’s rights. The slide show il-lustrates postcards and cartoons from the pe-riod which gives a humorous (and not sohumorous) look at the suffragette movementfrom 1900 to 1920.

Thiselusive, intriguing figure was part historian,part hustler and part showman. Did Brady re-ally take all those pictures in the Civil War?Does he deserve all the credit he received forall the great pictures taken in mid 19th cen-tury America? The portrait of Abraham Lincolnon the five dollar bill comes from a Brady pho-tograph. The lecture attempts to separate theman from the myth. Brady himself summed uphis own high standards - “The camera is theeye of history…you must never make bad pic-tures.”

The second part of this presentation is a slideshow set to music and commentary that high-lights Brady’s work and his Civil war views. Thisand the momentous events of the Civil war(which incidentally was the bloodiest war inAmerica’s history-over 620,000 dead fromcombat, wounds, disease and starvation).Antietam, Gettysburg, the Wilderness Cam-paign, Sherman’s March through Georgia, the“Fall of Richmond,” and Lincoln’s assassinationare all covered.Instructor: Charles F.

For 42 years, Bergen Community College has played a significant role in providing necessary

educational opportunities for the residents of this community. Each year, approximately 30,000

students enroll in credit-bearing or continuing education courses. Since 1970, the College has

granted degrees and certificates to over 40,000 graduates. Yes, our county and state taxes have

made much of this possible – but not all of it. In recent years, less than 29 percent of the College’s

annual operational budgets were state and county funded. The balance is raised through tuition

and student fees, student aid, grants and private fundraising initiatives coordinated by the Bergen

Community College Foundation.

Our ability to sustain and enhance the scope of services provided to the residents of this community

is dependent upon contributions from private sources. Through private fundraising efforts, the

Foundation - which exists solely to enhance student support including tuition, scholarship and book

allocation, faculty development and student programs – seeks to bridge the gap between limited

government funding and those resources critical to the College. Without private funding, the scope

of services provided would be sharply reduced.

Your Membership in the College Family

You become a member of the Bergen family with a gift to the BCC Foundation, a 501 ( c ) 3 non-

profit organization. The Foundation accepts gifts in all amounts – no gift is too small. Gifts may be

designated for a specific use or they may be directed to the Foundation’s unrestricted fund to be

used wherever it is most needed within the College.

A contribution to the Securing Our Future Endowed Scholarship Fund will ensure available

scholarship dollars for deserving students for generations to come. With a gift of $10,000 or more,

you can establish a named endowment in an area of importance to you, your family or your

corporation. Whatever the purpose, a contribution to the Foundation is translated into a gift of

education that will benefit the residents of this community forever more.

Ways of Giving

Although the easiest gift to give is cash, it is also possible to make a multi-year pledge, donate

appreciated securities, insurance, or real estate. You may also opt to remember the Bergen Community

College Foundation and a selected fund in your will, annuity or other forms of planned giving. The

Foundation staff is available to assist you and your financial adviser in planning the details of such a gift.

Please contact the Foundation at (201) 447-7117 or by e-mail at [email protected] to

discuss available options.

All gifts made payable to the Foundation are tax deductible to the extent allowed by federal and

state laws.
