Baltimore County, Md. (May 30, 2013) – The Community College of Baltimore County honored ten retired/retiring faculty members by inducting them into the ranks of Emeritus Professor in a ceremony and reception held Thursday, May 23 at CCBC Dundalk. Board of Trustee Vice Chairman Charles E. Kountz, Jr., Esq. joined President Sandra L. Kurtinitis and Vice President for Instruction Mark McColloch in presenting the Emeriti medallions. Other Trustees attending this year’s event were Gloria E. Nelson and Stephen J. Nolan, Esq.

“This year’s group of emeritus faculty can rightfully claim ownership to a great many of the programs that distinguish CCBC from its peers. While we will ensure that their work continues to flourish, we will always remember their creativity and dedication in making them happen,” remarked CCBC President Sandra L Kurtinitis.
