1. What was a significant location on campus for you? Why? What was a defining (or pivotal) moment of your life? The Third World Center (TWC). Michelle Obama mentions in her book Becoming, as a place where she worked and felt at home. The TWC was home for a lot of us minority students back […]
1. What was a significant place on campus for you? When I was senior, I became aware of the Princeton Inn Theatre (now the Forbes B&W Lounge at Forbes College) as I had written a musical for my undergraduate thesis and needed a place to produce and direct the show in the spring of 1978. […]
She Roars 2018 They came by the thousands- three thousand four hundred to be exact. 3400 women graduates of what had been a bastion of affluent southern white anglo saxon protestant male privilege, descended on Princeton University’s bucolic campus to attend She Roars, a university-sponsored conference for women alums.

It was a tricky time for women on campus so not […]
When I was an undergraduate, I loved Firestone Library. I spent many hours wandering among the stacks, which were completely open at the time. It was the largest library I had ever seen, and – as a kid who loved books – it was like an oversized treasure chest. As a senior, with a carrel […]
