Community Service

The Community Service Committee of the Princeton Club of Washington aims to engage alumni in community service. We try to provide opportunities for members to contribute time, expertise or resources. Current PCW Community Service projects include:

 

·                     Twice a month, the Princeton Club of Washington volunteers as a group at Miriam's Kitchen.  Miriam's is a non-profit breakfast program for people who are homeless, located in the Foggy Bottom neighborhood of Washington. Miriam Kitchen provides a hot, nutritious breakfast each weekday morning to around 150 men and women. For more information, email Joe Kochan '02 at jskochan@gmail.com.

 

·                     Since 2000, the PCW has sponsored an Adopt-A-Family program through Friends in Action of Montgomery County, Maryland. Each year we assist struggling families in the area and help to make their Thanksgiving and winter holidays warm and happy.  For more information, email Jessica Nickel '98 at jessicanickel@yahoo.com.

 

·                     Each year the Princeton Club of Washington recognizes one member for their outstanding commitment to community service through the Princeton Club of Washington Community Service Award.

 

·                     Support PCW’s Adopt-a-Library Project.  Please help our book drive for Davis Elementary School. We have made a commitment to donate 1,000 books to the school’s library this year. PCW’s first Adopt-a-Library project supported the SEED School in DC.  Our members donated over 1,200 books to their new library.

Alumni Schools Committee

Princeton Alumni Schools (ASC) committees try hard to offer every applicant an interview with a Princeton graduate.  This year Tiger alums interviewed every candidate (1,193 in total) who applied from the D.C., Northern Virginia and Maryland regions.  The interviews supply a personal perspective that can help Admissions form a fuller understanding of the applicant from the small mountain of information they have submitted.  Most ASC volunteers interview two or three candidates a year.

On behalf of these deserving young people and on behalf of Princeton, please consider stepping up to help us reach our goal of interviewing each applicant. Interviews are typically held in January and February.


If you are interested in interviewing applicants next year, sign up at http://www.createsurvey.com/c/20313-SEXwpc/.

In order to recognize, support, and encourage the young people of our country who have demonstrated a commitment to advancing the cause of positive race relations, Princeton University sponsors an annual awards program for high school students—the Princeton Prize in Race Relations. The Prize consists of regionally awarded $1,000 cash awards as well as an annual symposium on race.
