Princeton is more than your academic performance

| OPINION | 3 days ago

“In 25 years, at my 25th Reunion, I doubt I’ll be thinking about the C I got in Physics during sophomore fall. But I’ll certainly be remembering the weekly film screenings my friends and I went to at the Garden Theatre, the many times I sang with the Wildcats under Blair Arch, and talking about morality in a philosophy precept in 1879 Hall.”

Identifying and living alongside pre-drawmates allows students with housing accommodations to engage in community care: finding safety, healing, and support in a circle of close and connected individuals. The University’s failure to model these expectations reflects an inability to prioritize student safety and happiness.

“While we wait out the next four years with the goal of electing a liberal government, we must continue to remind each other that there is hope — through support, community, and protection.”

“But regardless of the result of the election, we must continue to fight for each other’s rights, to build community in spaces of resistance, and to work towards an equitable world. This starts by honoring the commitment and responsibility that we have to each other by continuing to engage in free advocacy and discourse at Princeton and beyond.”

Princeton must bolster support for students pursuing grad school

| OPINION | October 22

This is the moment for Princeton to commit to improving the graduate application process for all students by using the model that works to support pre-med students to support students of all types — and to go beyond it. All of this will help Princeton build an undergraduate education, and graduate education, that supports a diverse student body in pursuing their diverse interests.

Princeton, get practical with international student travel stipends

Asa Santos
| OPINION | October 1

The funds for low-income international students consistently fail to account for the full scope of the students’ travel needs. Moving forward, Princeton should work to conduct more thorough and comprehensive evaluations of student financial needs.
