Day of Action garners unprecedented success

Marcia Brown

In an unprecedented civic engagement event, University affiliates organized to create yesterday’s Day of Action, hundreds of students converged in Frist Campus Center to participate in what organizers called a “day of Teach-ins and Action.” Sixty-four teach-ins, hour-long discussions, and teaching sessions centered around a certain topic were conducted on issues such as civil rights, democracy and knowledge, international peace and security, as well as climate and environmental challenges.

Princeton Student Climate Lobby aims to engage students on climate issues

Jacob Tyles

“We’re interested in providing an outlet for students to learn about, engage with, and have a positive impact on climate change,” Jonathan Lu ’18 said, another co-founder of PSCL. The group’s inception arose from a need to address current issues surrounding just how institutions and lawmakers are handling climate change, as well as a marked lack of discussion at the time within campus itself.

Princeton Hockey Players Celebrate after a Win

Men's hockey advances to second round of tournament

Jack Graham

The Princeton men’s ice hockey season this year can be viewed as one long comeback. Situated in the cellar of the ECAC for much of the beginning of the season, the team clawed back to earn a No. 7 seed and home ice for the first round of the conference tournament. However, this pales in comparison to the comeback pulled by the team in this weekend’s three-game playoff series against Colgate. Literally a second from elimination, Princeton fought back to win the series and advance in the tournament.

Greitens discusses increases in Chinese security spending

Greitens discusses increases in Chinese security spending

Sam Oh

In a public lecture on March 2, Dr. Sheena Chestnut Greitens, assistant professor of political science at the University of Missouri and First Lady of Missouri, spoke about increases in security spending in the People’s Republic of China from the late 20th century to present. Greitens is a leading scholar in comparative politics and international relations in East Asia. In a small, densely packed room of professors, graduate students, and undergraduate students, Greitens challenged listeners to look beyond Western media projections of Chinese security spending and truly analyze released statistics. She emphasized the need to depart from media preconceptions about Chinese security spending, as well as the need to carefully analyze what few numerical sources the Chinese government releases to the international community. “The lecture that I am presenting today is focused on China,” Greitens explained, “but is also focused on trying to put some numbers that we often hear from China that we often hear in the media and the press and in the policy world in the cross national perspective and see what this means for China.” Greitens began by rebutting the media-created gloom that appears to surround the rise of China’s security spending.
