Pacesetter of the week:
Laura Du '14
In this new weekly feature, we will be profiling a Princeton student and their special commitment to civic engagement and service.
Laura Du '14 recently returned from Boston on a
Spring Break 2013 Breakout Trip. One of the trip's co-leaders, she shepherded a group of ten other Princeton undergrads of diverse interests and backgrounds through a whirl-wind week of exploration, delving into the issue of education and technology.
Read more about Laura's experience with the Breakout Program, as well as articles on other Pacesetters, at the Pace Center website.
