In March 2009, students, alumni, staff, and faculty who have been a part of TCNJ’s Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Program gathered in Harold W. Eickhoff Hall to celebrate the program’s four decades of success in providing access to TCNJ for more than 1,300 highly motivated, yet economically disadvantaged students. The evening featured dinner, dancing, and a special presentation honoring the program’s first director, Casper Lonesome, PhD, and the program’s Charter Class of 1968.

Located in suburban Ewing Township, the College’s atmosphere is quiet and beautiful. However, it is conveniently located between Philadelphia and New York City, and only minutes from the state capital, Trenton. It is an ideal and central location, as our EOF students come from all around the state. TCNJ is a short drive from Jersey City, Newark, and Camden and easily accessible from the Trenton train station, with a NJ Transit bus line directly to TCNJ’s student center.
We invite you to visit TCNJ and to see for yourself what sets us apart. To arrange for an appointment or for further information about the College, please contact the Office of Admissions.
