Princeton Club of Chicago

PRINCETON DIVERSITY "VIRTUAL" DISCUSSIONS 
- WEDNESDAY, JULY 24, 2024

You are invited to join us at a very special Princeton Diversity Discussion co-hosted by the class of '84 featuring Princeton Club of Chicago's very own Reggie Ponder '84 talking about "What We Wish We Knew Before Going to Princeton".

In his 2021 State of the University letter, Princeton University's President Christopher L. Eisgruber remarked, "We will press onward with the actions and conversations required to make this University stronger, more inclusive and equitable, and truer to the aspirations that we cherish. Doing so will require more discussions about challenging topics including race in America and at Princeton." Princeton Diversity Discussions is our ongoing series of friendly and inclusive gatherings for discussing race-related issues, supported by the Princeton Club of Chicago (PCC), Native Alumni of Princeton (NAP), Association of Latino Princeton Alumni (ALPA), Association of Black Princeton Alumni (ABPA), Asian American Alumni Association of Princeton (A4P), and over 40 Princeton alumni associations, clubs, and classes. 

To join our subscriber email list for gathering notices, suggested readings, and meeting links, please RSVP to Jessica Gonzalez '95 at jessicag6@hotmail.com and Jenny Korn '96 at jkorn@alumni.princeton.edu. Open to *everyone* that would like to talk about race, racism, and racial justice! For now, we are meeting digitally. Please attend as many of our gatherings as you’d like. We are excited to discuss race with you soon!
