Bernie Wagenblast

Many fields have pinnacle awards. Of course there's the Tony Award on Broadway and the Pulitizer for journalism. Among community colleges, the Aspen Prize is considered by many as the top award. This year, UCNJ Union College of Union County, NJ is one of ten finalists for the prize. The announcement of the winner comes April 17 in Washington, DC.

This week on the podcast I speak with Dr. Bernard Polnariev, the Vice President for Administrative Services at UCNJ. We chat not only about the Aspen Prize but about how both community colleges and their students are evolving.
