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.

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/.

awarded $1,000 cash awards as well as an annual symposium on race.
