    Mary J. Newburn '97

    Mary counts her four years at Princeton as some of the most transformative in her life, and sees the alumni journey as an exciting extension of that experience.  As an undergraduate, Mary majored in politics, was a two-year varsity letter winner on the women’s basketball team, a member of Cap and Gown, and treasurer of her senior class.  After graduation, she served the Class of 1997 as vice president, and as a member of the Special Gifts team for the 5th reunion.  

    After attending the Princeton Club of Chicago’s Annual Dinner and knowing virtually no one in the room, she joined the PCC leadership team over ten years ago, and has since served the Club in many roles, including president and vice president.  Presently, she serves as a member of Chicago’s Princeton Prize in Race Relations scholarship committee and is focused on the club’s welcoming efforts.  At the University level, she is vice chair of the Committee on Regional Associations, a committee on which she has served since 2015, and additionally is a member of the Alumni Association's Committee on Awards for Service to Princeton

    Mary lives in Lakeview with her husband, Jade (a Brown alumnus often mistaken for a Princetonian), and sons Nicholas and William.
