TCNJ

5 FALL 2019 DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? I was surprised to see that WTSR still has their enormous album collection (Inside, Spring 2019). I did The Best of the '60s show on the station from 1977–82 and was amazed to see the Lovin' Spoonful's Greatest Hits LP in your photo — with my handwritten trivia card still on the album cover. That was written about 40 years ago! DAVE SILVERSTEIN '79 WE'RE LOVIN' IT I enjoy reading each issue of this quality publication. It is a fine way to keep me informed about TCNJ, and I like to be reminded of my experiences there. KEN TILLMAN, professor of education emeritus As a TSC alumnus and parent of a current student, I am very proud of our institution. I look forward to receiving each issue of TCNJ Magazine. You are doing a great job with this fine publication. GEORGE CHANT '76 T C N J M A G A Z I N E VOLUME 24 NO. 1 John P. Donohue David W.

"My floor's orientation leaders made TCNJ begin to feel like home. Cent. 3 really became a family to me because of them." —LIANNA BONACORSI '23 "I invited a few of my dorm neighbors to join me if they didn't want to sit alone at dinner. By the time we headed to Eick, we had a group of more than 10 people. We had a great meal and have been hanging out and inviting others to sit with us ever since!" — DYLAN CATANIA '23 "As a transfer and commuter student, it's easy to feel separated from campus. The Griffins program (for transfers) made a huge difference to me. I couldn't be more excited for my next two years!" — KAITLIN HURLEY '21 "I LOVED WELCOME WEEK!! WOLFE 4!! My floor is super close and we have so much fun when we get together for activities. Can't wait for the rest of the year. #wolfe4bestfloor" —JACKIE BALLARINO '23 TCNJ ASKED NEW STUDENTS, "WHO HELPED YOU FEEL WELCOME?" President Foster and some true-to-size Lions say Hi to the Class of 2023.
