Our Homefront Drive ended on April 10th with our goal being exceeded 6 times! TCNJ XE Student and Alumni members collected just under 3000 pieces of diapers which will support five children for four months! We would like to thank our incredible Alumni: Chuck Turi (’20), Brian Rennie (’20), Charlotte Roarty (’23), Anthony LaRegina (’19), Ashely Hyde (’19), Mary Friedrich (’11), Danielle Galloway (’18), Hayley Conway (’23), Rachel Hannah (’23), Colin O’Hara (’20), Owen Soler (’23), and Victor Mazariegos (’20) for collectively donating $450 to the cause. Their generosity is absolutely amazing. This was a perfect way to celebrate all that XE stands for on TCNJ XE Proud To Be a Civil Engineer Day!

In celebration of the 2024 Engineers Week, TCNJ XE members held a bridge building competition on 2/21/24. The task was to bridge a gap of 6 in with 12 straws and 2 ft of tape, in an attempt to take the largest number of jelly beans and win the coveted Krstic Cup! Congratulations go to our seniors Dora Krstic, Jill Stanton, Josh Romero and Mackenzie Bosland for not only supporting the entire jelly bean load, but also a steel manual! Juniors Daniel Schiariti, David Cardenas, Kate Neal and Ethan Moyer came in second, and seniors Erin Swierczyna and Julie Stone came in third.
