John Castaldo ’82, MEd ’83 was installed as executive director of alumni affairs on Sept. 1.
Since taking over the reins, Castaldo has been working with alumni, the Alumni Association Executive Board, and the Alumni Association to “build bridges between the many individuals who have had great connections with the College,” he said.
One of his top priorities, he said, is expanding services and outreach to TCNJ alumni nationwide. “As we work to strengthen and expand our alumni network nationally, all alumni, as well as the College, will benefit from developing global ties,” he said.
He seeks to foster new levels of engagement with all those connected to TCNJ, with the overarching goal of promoting active volunteerism by alumni. “Their involvement is essential to creating stability and continued growth,” he said.
Castaldo has served the College for nearly 20 years—most recently as executive director for athletics and recreation since January 2008. Prior to that, he coached TCNJ’s men’s basketball team for 14 seasons.
A native of Trenton, Castaldo earned a bachelor’s degree in urban administration and a master’s degree in administration of physical education and athletic management from TCNJ. His wife, Colleen ’90, and several family members, including a daughter, are also TCNJ alumni. Another daughter is currently a student at the College.
