FALL 2013 NEWSLETTER
September / 24 / 2013

Greetings!   

You are a freshman who heard an impressive story from Christopher Lu '88 at Reflections on Service; soaked up new perspective during a debate of "The Honor Code"; challenged yourself to sign up for a new experience at the Civic Engagement Student Activities Fair. Something clicked. You understand that you don't have to follow just one pathway. You can carve your own; it's about mindset and finding your path to meaningful service, meaningful life. 

 

If you're reading this, you are a part of the civic engagement community at Princeton. Hundreds of you have already bonded through Community Action or the Living Service Initiative with Butler. Whatever your experience, freshmen are receiving a strong signal that civic engagement is part of Princeton student life.

 

At the Pace Center, you can count on us to make it easier for every student - no matter your class year - to get involved and deepen how you think about civic engagement.
