Operation LEAD is an overnight leadership retreat open to a selected group of incoming new students, taking place July 17-18, 2025 and July 24-25, 2025. Incoming students will work with current TCNJ sophomores, juniors, and seniors to learn about what it means to be a leader at The College of New Jersey! Students will discover their personal strengths, develop leadership skills, forge long-lasting bonds with peers and faculty, and, most importantly, have fun!
Operation LEAD is constructed in a way that can make the transition easier for future TCNJ campus leaders by creating a community of other new students and providing networking opportunities with TCNJ faculty and staff. Participants will discover how to empower themselves to make an impact on the TCNJ community and beyond! The cost is $160 and includes all meals, events, and activities of the program. Scholarships are also available to subsidize the cost.
The Operation LEAD participant interest form is now open. Applications will be distributed after interest forms are closed.
