Institutional Partnerships
Institutional partnerships present opportunities for TCNJ professors and staff to be engaged with colleagues, laboratories, galleries, performance venues and connections in advancing their teaching, research, artistic productions, publications, intercultural growth and professional development. Through such engagement, professors can integrate global perspectives into their teaching and mentoring offered at TCNJ. Additionally, visiting faculty and staff from institutional partners bring new perspectives to the campus and provide additional meaningful opportunities for students to engage in the global conversation around inclusive excellence. TCNJ has partnerships for faculty and staff engagement with the following institutions.
- Northumbria University, Newcastle, UK – Faculty/Staff Exchange
- Goethe University, Frankfurt, Germany- Faculty/Staff Exchange
- SRH Heidelberg, Germany- Faculty/Staff Exchange
- Toyo University, Japan- Faculty/Staff Exchange
- UNIFENAS, Belo Horizonte, Brazil- Faculty/ Staff Exchange
- Federal University of Ceara, Fortaleza, Brazil- Faculty/Staff Exchange
- Université Clermont Auvergne, France- Faculty/Staff Exchange
TCNJ has active institutional partnership relationships with other institutions around the world. With each of these partners, the Center for Global Engagement has collaborated with TCNJ senior leaders and their international counterparts in negotiating shared goals and establishing procedures for working together.

Past Workshops
Global Engagement Through Partnerships (Held May 2023)
This workshop offered guidance in developing an idea and identifying a potential partner. It is relevant both for those faculty and staff who already have an idea they are actively developing for the May 2024 – August 2025 time frame and for those who are simply exploring ideas for the future. If you’d like to view the PowerPoint presentation from the workshop please click here. Please contact Christa Olson (olsonc@tcnj.edu) or Ann Liberona (liberona@tcnj.edu), Assistant Director for Exchange Programs with questions. They are available to help you develop your idea and talk through with you which partners are likely to be receptive to engaging with you.
New Partnerships
If you would like to propose a new partner to be considered as one of TCNJ’s formal institutional partners, CGE asks that you complete this questionnaire and provide as much relevant information as possible about this institution. CGE staff will be able to work with you and other appropriate offices to determine together whether it would be an appropriate partner.
