With input from a broad range of campus stakeholders, the feedback I received consistently highlighted his strategic mindset, collaborative approach, and deep commitment to the mission and values of TCNJ.”
Muha expressed his enthusiasm for his new position by saying, “It’s a privilege to serve the college in this capacity. I look forward to leading College Advancement’s efforts to promote the college and help ensure it has the resources it needs to continue to thrive.”
Muha joined The College of New Jersey in 2013. Before taking on his interim appointment earlier this year, he served as associate vice president for communications, marketing, and brand management. He is also secretary of TCNJ’s Phi Beta Kappa chapter.
Prior to joining TCNJ, Muha was chief communications officer at Drew University from 2006 to 2013.
