Bonner Center for Civic and Community Engagement
Faculty Engagement
TCNJ faculty are at the heart of the Center's mission to cultivate the common ground that exists between the College and the needs and interests of the community. And, faculty engagement is on the rise. On a weekly basis a visitor might find professors speaking to first year students before they embark on their CEL (Community Engaged Learning) Day, guiding students as they complete a class-based project to address a local community need, or forming and advising a new student club that will apply professional skills to a developing country.
Twenty-eight faculty members incorporated community-engaged learning into their first year seminar courses (FSPs) during the Fall 2008 Semester. Click the links below to learn more about some of these courses.
