What is your favorite TCNJ memory? My favorite TCNJ memory is Welcome Week because it feels like summer camp, BUT BETTER. There’s so much energy and school spirit, and it’s the best time to meet new people and make friends. It was the perfect way to start my time at TCNJ!

Where is your favorite place on campus? My favorite place on campus is the Education Building. It has everything I need—the Lib Cafe for a lemonade break, the Ed Lounge for a comfortable place to hang out, and it’s where I get most of my big assignments done. It’s the perfect spot to be productive while still feeling relaxed.

Advice for new students: Don’t be afraid to put yourself out there. Get as involved as you want, you’ll be your happiest when you’re being yourself.

Name a person or office who has supported you in your time at TCNJ: The Office of Student Life has given me my chosen family at TCNJ. It oversees so many amazing organizations that have truly made my time here unforgettable. In just my first year, I’ve already made lifelong connections, and I’m so grateful for the community and experiences it has provided!
