Last summer PA3 teamed up with the Alumni Association's Princetoniana Committee to conduct interviews with alums from the 1940s. Those interviews, focused on the alums' experiences at Princeton, form a part of a larger body of oral history of our beloved alma mater housed in the University Archives at Mudd Library. Of the old guard interviews conducted thus far, a common thread is recurring mention of a few professors, fondly remembered even after many decades, as truly outstanding scholars and teachers. The existing oral history transcript library includes interviews with several venerable professors, and the PA3 and Princetoniana Committee are very interested in adding to it by identifying and interviewing those professors that truly stand out in the memories of alumni, both undergraduate and graduate.
Consequently, you could do us a great service by giving some thought to your Princeton experience and replying with the names of any cherished professors, including a short explanation of what subject they taught and why they stand out so plainly in memory. We will use this input to help guide us in the selection of professors emeriti to interview. Please respond to Tom Swift '76 or call him at 908-369-1601. Thank you.

PA3 Event Grants
(Receive Up to $300 for
Your Event!)
Do you have an idea for an event that may be interesting to other Princeton alumni and haven’t the funds or ability to reach out to other local alumni? Here’s your chance to get it started…with a grant for up to $300! All ideas are welcome. Keep reading for details...
The Princeton Area Alumni Association (PA3) requests
grant applications for PA3 events. We
are especially interested in events that 1) are a different activity than
previously tried, 2) interest a different segment of our constituents, and 3)
are located outside of the Princeton area.
Our region encompasses New Brunswick to Mansfield, and Flemington to
Freehold. The demographics of our
members span the gamut of ages, ethnicities, professions, interests, etc. As such, the PA3 Executive Committee is
always looking for new ideas and outreach.
Here are the details: Please submit in writing (email is fine) a
brief description of your idea and your estimate of costs. Although your event may target a group or
area, you must agree to invite all alumni that live within our region to attend
(including graduate students and parents of current students). You may limit
the total number of attendees, if you like.
We will certainly help with the event if you need it: advertising, supporting planning and
logistics, collecting RSVPs and/or ticket payments (if desired), decorating
with PA3 banners or other paraphernalia, and reimbursing expenses up to
$300.
Please note: The grant monies cannot be used for
commercial interests or to be donated to a charity or cause. It can be used to buy supplies or
tickets for a charity event at which PA3 members participate.
