75 Years of sUCCess 75 YEARS OF SUCCESS During the 2008-2009 academic year, Union County College, the oldest two-year, continuously operating community college in the State of New Jersey celebrated its 75th Anniversary. From its meager start in 1933, during the Great Depression, with an enrollment of only a few hundred students, UCC has transformed into a robust institution with an enrollment of tens of thousands. From its humble beginnings the College has established itself as a center for educational opportunity providing affordable higher education to people of diverse ethnic, racial, cultural, educational, and socioeconomic backgrounds in a multi-campus setting. Today UCC offers more than 75 college credit programs and hundreds of continuing education, career, and workforce training programs. To celebrate the College’s 75 year history, numerous activities and celebrations were held, opening with a September kick off and running throughout the academic year.
ELIZABETH CAMPUS EXPANSION Of the more noteworthy accomplishments that occurred during the 2009 fiscal year was the completion of the Elizabeth I. Kellogg Building on the Elizabeth campus. A long awaited answer to address continued growth and future needs for the Elizabeth campus, the structure, with generous funding and support from the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders, the Union County Improvement Authority, and the State of New Jersey, was completed in the summer of 2009. The new 132,000 square foot, five-story, building houses a Library/Information Commons, 33 classrooms, 14 computer laboratories, faculty offices, and dining facilities. The Thomas H. Brown Center for Business and Educational Advancement is located on the fifth floor of the Kellogg Building. The Center provides office suites for use as economic development offices by various city, county, and state agencies. It will also provide state-of-the-art facilities to host key training sessions and conferences for organizations throughout the county. The office of customized training, the Industry Business Institute (IBI) is housed there. In addition, the Trinitas School of Nursing, recently designated as a Center of Excellence, is on the third floor of the Kellogg Building. This cooperative nursing program, conducted jointly with Union County College, is ranked nationally as the second largest nursing school in the country and is the largest provider of nursing education in New Jersey. This program is equipped Elizabeth with the latest state-of-the-art simulation technology to fully prepare our students to enter the nursing profession. Campus Expansion
