ANNUAL DINNER
FEATURING Princeton Professor Coleen T. Murphy
- Monday, APRIL 28, 2025 -
To Tigers of all stripes!
Let's enjoy each other's company again at the historic Chicago landmark City Hall, starting with an extended cocktail/apps party (in lieu of a sit-down dinner) at the adjacent bar Recess, before adjourning to the program next door.
Join fellow alumni, parents, and friends (see attendee list below) as we enjoy a robust program, including a keynote by Professor Coleen T. Murphy, the James A. Elkins Jr. Professor in the Life Sciences in Molecular Biology at Princeton University, where she has been a faculty member since 2005. Leading the Lewis-Sigler Institute for Integrative Genomics at the university, she also is the Director of the Glenn Foundation for Research on Aging at Princeton and the Director of the Simons Collaboration on Plasticity in the Aging Brain. We are thrilled to hear her research insights on longevity and healthspan, topics relevant to all audiences.
We will also recognize two alumni for their distinguished service to Princeton and to our Chicagoland community.
Lastly, Jennifer Caputo, the Princeton's Deputy Vice President for Alumni Engagement, will be presenting the 2024 Austin P. Leland Award to the Princeton Club of Chicago, "in recognition of general excellence in regional alumni activities." Come one and all to celebrate the Club and our community together!
