Together, these stories explain how Princeton has balanced two identities — a hub for activist energy and a culture of indifference.

Looking back, looking forward: The print commencement issue

The Class of 2021 has been defined by shared realities amid unprecedented times: remote learning, virtual community, and a socially distant final semester. But beyond those collective experiences, they’re a diverse group of athletes, artists, activists, and scholars whose individual perspectives have shaped their time in the Orange Bubble, and whose actions will continue to impact Princetonians for years to come. Here, we look at their four years on campus.
