In this new weekly feature, we will be profiling a Princeton student and their special commitment to civic engagement and service.
Ever wonder about the students working behind the scenes on the Pace Center's well-known Breakout Princeton trips? Look no further - Ray Chao '15 is one of them. Ray, a sophomore in the Woodrow Wilson School, led his first Breakout trip this past fall to Houston, Texas, to learn about the issues around juvenile justice.
Read more about Ray's experience with the Breakout Princeton program, as well as other Pacesetter profiles on the Pace Center website.
