50 Years of Creating Opportunities, Transforming Lives
Celeste Onka wasn't interested in attending a four-year college after graduating from Somerville High School in 1968. But then she heard about a two-year college being launched right in her neighborhood: Somerset County College. So Onka became the first student admitted to SCC, which began classes for 229 students in September 1968 at Green Brook High School.
