RANDOLPH, NJ—The County College of Morris (CCM) chapter of the United Adjunct Faculty of New Jersey (UAFNJ) has recently launched an award for students who participate in television production in the campus media center. The Gerard Bevan Award, valued at $500, will be given annually to a student who demonstrates professionalism and commitment in the weekly production of “CCM: All Access,” the College’s first weekly television program.
Gerard Bevan was one of the founding faculty members at CCM when the College opened in 1968. Hired into the English Department, Bevan developed and taught the College’s first speech courses. A native of Scranton, Pennsylvania, Bevan received the baccalaureate degree in English from the University of Scranton in 1964 and the Master of Arts degree, also in English, from Duquesne University in 1966. He taught at CCM for twelve years prior to departing in June of 1980. Bevan currently resides in Florida.
Two students have been selected as the inaugural recipients of the award. Daniil Barkov, a sophomore majoring in business administration from East Hanover, NJ; and Brenda Todd, a sophomore majoring in broadcasting arts and technology from Randolph, NJ, will be the first to receive The Gerard Bevan Award. Barkov and Todd have both worked on “CCM: All Access” as on-camera talent and crew members since the show’s first season.
