On August 17, 2018, the State of New Jersey Certified Public Manager (CPM) program held its annual graduation ceremony.  Seven cohorts concluded, producing 128 graduates.  The cohorts were comprised of representatives from diverse public-sector areas such as, emergency management, IT, law enforcement, environmental oversight, employee counseling, finance, and program planning.  As administrators, we remain committed to facilitating our CPM students' immersion in “diversity of thought” to ensure that as graduates of the program they have the perspectives and resources needed to excel in today’s globally competitive workforce.
