Randazzo, a lifelong competitive swimmer and coach, contributed funds to purchase a state-of-the-art scoreboard for the pool at Packer Hall. Paired with the college's new Omega Quantum timing system — the same system used in the Summer Olympics in Rio de Janeiro — Randazzo's generosity has put TCNJ's swimming facility in a league of its own. "It's the largest board of its kind in the U.S. that is in use in a short- course pool," says Brian Bishop, associate director of athletics and TCNJ's men's swimming and diving coach, referring to the pool's 25-yard length. Long-course pools are 50 meters. The scoreboard will allow swimmers, coaches and spectators to enjoy swim meets as they never have before. It can display swimmers' names, lane positions, heats and times, while also simulcasting races, showing replays and announcing records. $ 10,000 x 2 LGBTQ LEADERSHIP SCHOLARSHIP ENDOWMENT FUND Inspired by their own intellectual and emotional journeys at TCNJ, Michael DelBene '01 and Chris Chamberlin '98, MA '05 have teamed up to create a scholarship fund for students who lead and advocate for LGBTQ communities on campus. $ 75,444 DAY OF GIVING Alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends of the college donated more than $75,000 during TCNJ's inaugural Day of Giving, held November 5.
