“I chose Bergen Community College for its strong academic foundation, supportive environment, and opportunities for meaningful involvement,” said Bittan, of Tenafly. “It has allowed me to pursue my academic goals while developing as a leader and actively contributing to both the campus and the surrounding community.”
As an active student leader at Bergen, Bittan serves as president of the Criminal Justice Club and vice president of Hillel.

He is also a member of the College’s two-year Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society (PTK) and the National Society of Leadership and Success (NSLS).
