2013 Annual President BBQ

Lindsey Nice — Tue, 07 May 2013 15:00:20 +0000

TCNJ Celebrates its Employees!

This year’s annual President’s barbeque for TCNJ employees and retirees was a complete success. In two separate events, employees and retirees were recognized for their years of service to the College.

Two years ago, TCNJ President R. Barbara Gitenstein, in partnership with the Office of Human Resources, introduced an employee recognition program to honor employees and their dedication to the mission and core values of the College, by celebrating milestone years of service awards.

Those employees at the “specific” milestones of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years of service by the cut-off date, were recognized during the program. Employees who have service years outside of the specific milestones years will be honored when s/he reaches the next milestone. For example, an employee who currently has 12 years of service will be honored at their 15 year milestone.

Recipients of the years of service award were also honored with TCNJ logo pins to commemorate their service to the college. Below, see pictures from the 2013 Annual President BBQ.

TCNJ Climate Survey

Lindsey Nice — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:15:02 +0000

Help us to improve TCNJ!

In October, members of the TCNJ community will be invited to take a campus climate survey. Campus climate is the overall social atmosphere that is currently present at TCNJ. This survey is designed to gather data related to diversity, inclusion, and work-life issues so that we can assess the environment that TCNJ provides for students, faculty, and staff. Our goal is to have a diverse, inclusive, and healthy climate that promotes the well-being of the members of this community.

Rankin & Associates Consulting

The survey was developed by Rankin & Associates Consulting. From their website:
“We are a company committed to assisting campuses and organizations in assessing their environments for learning and working. We support educational and organizational program planners and policy makers in identifying their successes and strengths and provide potential best practices for addressing challenges.”

Watch your email beginning in October for your invitation to the survey. The survey should take only a few minutes of your time. The information that you provide through this survey will help our campus to improve and to maintain a welcoming environment for everyone. Without your input, we can’t move forward and ensure a campus climate climate that meets the needs of all students, faculty, and staff.

6. Have at least ten months’ experience as employees of the College

7. Serve staggered two-year terms
