National Recognition for Carteret CC Respiratory Therapy! 🫁💙

We are incredibly proud to celebrate a major achievement for the Carteret Community College Respiratory Therapy Program, which has received the President’s Award for Excellence in Credentialing Success from the Commission on Accreditation for Respiratory Care (CoARC)!

This recognition is especially meaningful because Carteret CC is one of only 14 programs nationwide—out of 431 respiratory therapy educational programs—to earn this award.

To qualify, programs were required to demonstrate outstanding outcomes, including 100% RRT credentialing success, strong student retention, and performance that meets or exceeds CoARC’s established standards.

Achievements like this don’t happen by accident. They are the result of dedicated students, committed faculty, and years of hard work focused on preparing graduates to succeed in their profession and serve their communities.

A special thank you also goes to Trisha Miller, retired Respiratory Therapy Program Chair, whose leadership helped lay the foundation for the program’s continued success.

Most importantly, congratulations to our Respiratory Therapy students and graduates. Your hard work helped make this recognition possible!

We are proud of this program. We are proud of our students. And we are proud to see Carteret CC recognized among some of the best respiratory therapy programs in the nation.

This is excellence. This is Carteret.

🎨🐾 Creativity, cuddles, and a whole lot of Kraken fun!

Today’s Student Life events brought some extra fun to the Bryant Student Center! Students stopped by the Make & Take DIY Hat & Bag Patch Bar to create their own custom gear, then took a break from classes to enjoy some four-legged love with the adorable therapy dogs from Love on a Leash. 🧢👜🐶💙

College is about more than what happens in the classroom—it’s also about finding your community, making memories, trying something new, and taking a little time to recharge.

We love seeing our students hanging out, getting creative, and enjoying everything campus life has to offer.

This is Carteret. This is the Kraken experience. 💙🐙
