The Garden State is known for its first-rate institutions of higher learning. From Princeton to Rutgers to Drew University, New Jersey’s schools are some of the best-known and most highly-regarded in the country. And at the College of New Jersey (TCNJ), that means bringing the best of the university into the surrounding communities, and vice versa.
This past January, TCNJ received the Carnegie Community Engagement Classification from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Only about 8% of universities nationwide share this distinction, which recognizes institutionalized practices of community engagement — that is, formal ways in which the university works with its surrounding community so that the community and the university are both enhanced. For TCNJ, that means service learning, a scholars program, community engagement learning requirements and more.
Other New Jersey campuses that have received the Community Engagement Classification include Rutgers University, Montclair State University, Drew University, Saint Peter’s University, Bergen County Community College, Richard Stockton College of New Jersey and Raritan Valley Community College.
