Centenary University Ranks in The Top 11% Career College Rankings Index

PARSIPPANY — Centenary University recently earned the distinction of being named a 2017 Best Value Top Institution by the Educate to Career (ETC) College Rankings Index.  The Hackettstown-based University was ranked in the top 11% in the nation and listed as one of the top two private institutions in the State to earn this ranking.  The 2017 ETC College Rankings Index highlights the institutions that have excelled at graduating students on a timely basis at a reasonable cost and preparing them for the workforce.

“I am pleased that Centenary University was recognized nationally for being a top value institution that adds value,” says Dr. David Haney, Centenary University President.  “Our commitment to student success is manifested in the many things we do to prepare them for life after graduation.  Centenarians are leading productive professional lives largely due to our combination of liberal arts and career-focused education.  In fact, 94% of our graduates have jobs or are pursuing a post-baccalaureate degree within a year of graduation.”

This accolade comes just months after NJ.com reported that Centenary University was rated as having one of the highest four-year graduation rates in the State of New Jersey.

Centenary provides many resources to ensure that the success of a Centenary graduate begins from the moment that student commits to enrolling at the institution.  This support includes early adviser involvement and Centenary’s First-Year Experience Program, where each student is assigned a more advanced student as a mentor.  This mentor, who is called a First-Year Leader, helps guide the student through the adjustment to college life and academic expectations. Centenary University also prides itself on the institution’s proven track record in experiential learning.

These successful results are in alignment with a recent study by the Council of Independent Colleges. According to the “Cost-Effectiveness of Undergraduate Private Nondoctoral Colleges and Universities,” private non-doctoral institutions as a group produce superior graduation rates, a low time to degree for graduates, and excellent value. These significant advantages apply across student demographic categories.

Warner Snags Landmark Conference Honor For Second Time This Season

PARSIPPANY — Senior defender Carolyn Warner continues to be a scoring threat from the backline for The University of Scranton women’s soccer team, adding two goals and an assist in a pair of victories last week.

For her efforts, Warner has been named the Landmark Conference Defensive Athlete of the Week for women’s soccer.

Warner, who was also honored after the opening week of the season, tallied a goal in a 4-0 non-conference win over Wilkes on Wednesday at Fitzpatrick Field. She scored in the 12th minute for her first career game-winning goal, and she played a key role as the Royals posted their third straight shutout.

On Saturday, Warner again played a key role in a 5-0 rout of Landmark Conference foe Elizabethtown at Fitzpatrick Field. She scored in the 19th minute for the Royals’ second goal and later added an assist on a beautifully played ball from the backline that resulted in the team’s final goal.

Scranton (8-1-1, 2-0 Landmark) picked up its fourth straight shutout and sixth of the season in the win on Saturday.

Warner and the Royals will return to action on Wednesday, October 5, when they travel to Dallas, Pa. to take on Misericordia in a non-conference match at 7:00 p.m.

Carolyn Warner is the daughter of Scott and Cynthia Warner, and a graduate of Parsippany Hills High School Class of 2013. She was awarded Landmark Conference Defensive Athlete of the Week (September 28, 2015) and Landmark Conference Academic Honor Roll (2014, 2015).

New Jersey Gas Tax: How they voted

PARSIPPANY — Governor Chris Christie announced on Friday afternoon a 23-cent gas tax hike along with the Legislature’s two top Democratic leaders.

That’s the time of the week government officials traditionally tend to drop bad news — and it didn’t go unnoticed by Parsippany Focus readers. The deal could go into effect as soon as next week if approved by lawmakers.

Assemblyman Dave Rible, the Republican conference leader, said the “announcement is great news for the residents of New Jersey who will benefit from a better transportation system and will enjoy significant tax savings,” according to NJ101FM.com.

Assembly Republican Leader Jon Bramnick applauded Christie “for bringing Democrat leaders in the Legislature together on a compromise to fix our roads and bridges in a way that is equally fair to our overburdened taxpayers.”

And Robert Briant, Jr., CEO of the Utility and Transportation Contractors Association, said the deal is “the kind of long-term thinking that New Jersey has desperately needed on transportation infrastructure,” while “additional tax cuts will help create a more level playing field for working people in New Jersey.”

This is how the Assembly voted on the gas tax:

Here’s how every member of the Assembly voted. The vote was mostly along party lines — with Republicans against the gas tax hike, and Democrats for it.

Happy Birthday Parsippany Focus

PARSIPPANY — Parsippany Focus is 27 years old today.

Parsippany Focus was first released as a monthly printed newspaper on October 1, 1989 mailed to every resident of the Township of Parsippany.

At that time, Parsippany Focus was named the “Official newspaper of the Parsippany Area Chamber of Commerce (PACC)”. Publisher Frank Cahill, was named on the Board of Directors of PACC in 1989, eventually elected Vice President, and then President-elect (but due to commitments with Focus did not continue as President, just remained on the Board of Directors.) He also created a Retail Committee to work with area businesses.

Parsippany Focus converted to a weekly newspaper serving the residents of Parsippany in June 1991. Eventually Parsippany Focus was named the legal newspaper of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills. This was the first weekly newspaper in many years appointed to serve the needs of the Township of Parsippany-Troy Hills.

Due to competition of newspapers in the late 90s, and the change of advertising markets of major companies devoting their advertising dollars to major newspapers, the advertising revenues of Parsippany Focus decreased to a point where it was not profitable to publish. Focus ceased publication in 1996.

Since then we have received many requests that Parsippany needs a “hometown” newspaper, that covers Parsippany news and events.

Due to the technology of the internet, we have created this website for the people of Parsippany, to publicize the events that involve their everyday life. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, business briefs, honor rolls, club news, community announcements, school happenings (the same basic information the print version of Parsippany Focus featured from 1989 through late 1990s). All Local, All Parsippany.

We are always looking for freelance writers to take on assignments. We also welcome letters to the editor, story ideas, community announcements, and corrections to stories. If you have anything that you want to publicize, send it to Parsippany Focus, Post Office Box 6245, Parsippany, New Jersey 07054. Our email is news@parsippanyfocus.com. Don’t forget to include pictures! Our main office telephone number is (800) 242-4349 and our fax number is (201) 356-4956.

Gov. Chris Christie: ‘I Knew Nothing About Lane Re-Alignments’

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie refuted the testimony of former Port Authority executive David Wildstein, who testified on Tuesday that Christie knew about the lane closings all along. Christie said, “I knew nothing about the lane reassignments before they happened, as they were happening. I had nothing to do with the planning.” Gov. Christie made these…
