Statue
CCM county college of morris celebrated its 50th anniversary in
2019 with many activities called Titan Weekend. The institution of
higher learning, which is located in Randolph, NJ, unveiled a bronze statue of
Titus the Titan, its mascot, at Titus' Birthday, one event to mark
the college's milestone. The statue was created by Big Statues.com
of Provo, UT.
At the party, there was Titan face paint, free food for all

more. The full-size statue of the county college of morris mascot
shows the figure in the attire of a Greco-Roman soldier outfitted
with helmet, tunic, skirt, military belt and decorative strips
hanging from the waist.
Artist Matt Glenn heads
BigStatues.com, and he creates bronze monuments large and small for
museums and communities throughout the U.S. Prince Harry unveiled one of the sculptor's
projects—the Fijian Memorial at Nadi International Airport in
Fiji.
In anticipation of the 50th anniversary, it was announced ccm
holding contest to name its mascot. After voting by students,
faculty and staff, Titus won out over the other choices of Taren,
Torey and Thanos. Titus is a name of Greek origin that means
"honor" and "giant." It is hoped that a person with this name will
initiate events, lead rather than follow and have a strong
personality. The motto of the college is "CCM: A Great Place To
Start."
