Spotlights

The McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning recently completed renovations to its kitchen space, which included installing a new dishwasher, and purchasing new reusable items to reduce waste and environmental impact.

The renovations were partially financed through the High Meadows Foundation Sustainability Fund, a seed fund overseen by the Office of Sustainability to pilot sustainability initiatives with measurable outcomes that contribute to cultivating a sustainability ethos on campus, in service to the world.

In its inaugural year, Service Focus brought together 78 undergraduates committed to bridging service and learning across the first two years of their Princeton University experience.

Service Focus, helps students form their own commitment to service and make service an integral part of their Princeton experience.

“Honoring the Past, Preparing the Future: Celebrating 50 Years of Preparing Teachers for the Nation’s Service,” was held on campus April 12 and 13. Alumni ranging from the Class of 2018 to the early ’70s came from across the country — representing 41 of the 50 years of the program. The 150 participants, including current students in the Teacher Prep certificate program, and current and former faculty and staff, enjoyed panels, keynote addresses, roundtable discussions and campus tours — and had plenty of time to socialize. Much of the programming was open to the public.

Princeton University has offered admission to 1,895 students for the Class of 2023, including 18 percent who will be first-generation college students and 26 percent from lower-income backgrounds. This year’s admission process reflects the University’s enduring commitment to attract, enroll and support extraordinary students from all backgrounds.
