VoWW Interview #28 - Dr. Jianping Wang

Picture
Overview
       

​"Voices of West Windsor" is a joint project between the Historical Society and SR Mosaic to fill in the gaps in our records of our town's history. We interview contemporary inhabitants of groups not typically found in our archives so that future residents can get a perspective decades later - much like how our perspectives of old West Windsor were obtained through interviews of longtime residents in the past. 

April, when this interview is being conducted, is Community College Month. While the WWP School District is often in local headlines, another educational institution has called West Windsor home for decades: Mercer County Community College.  Today, Voices of West Windsor sits down with Dr. Jianping Wang, President of MCCC.

Talking Points:

(On the importance of community colleges and MCCC in particular)

“I am an absolute believe in American Dreams and democracy. Community colleges are an integral part of this. Regardless of your background, community colleges' doors are open to everyone - regardless of whether you can pay for it, whether you are academically prepared, etc. Being a first-generation immigrant myself, (who realized the importance of affordable and accessible education), there is no institution more important to American democracy than community colleges - they are a great equalizer. And students from our college go on to other institutions - Princeton, Rutgers, Columbia, etc. - and realize their dreams. We truly change lives - not only for students but also for their family and communities."
