⭐ Identity Affinity Spaces

Through the Office of Diversity and Inclusion there are different centers and spaces on campus that support and reach our diverse student body across campus.

LGBT Center

Princeton's LGBT Center supports and empowers lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, and asexual students and employees by providing community-building, education, events and initiatives. They seek to affirm and help students explore their many identities, including a/sexuality, a/gender, race, ability, religion and class; the Center serves the campus community through training, consultation, and advocacy to ensure that Princeton's community is fully inclusive and respectful of all different identities.

Women*s Center

The mission of the Women*s Center is to recognize and redress historic and persistent gender inequality at Princeton and beyond. Through a series of events and programs, such as public lectures and discussions, the Women*s Center, helps students learn from the history of women’s and other movements for social equality, and empower them to identify systems that reproduce gender inequity in the present and to envision and create a more just future.

The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center (coming fall 2021)

The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center at Princeton will launch in fall 2021. The center will serve women and femme-identifying students and LGBTQIA+ students, and to offer gender and sexuality programming and co-curricular experiences for the University community. It will bring together the staff of the Women*s Center and LGBT Center, maintaining current services and allowing for more expansive programming that acknowledges the many intersections of gender and sexual identity. The center will affirm and assist students in their exploration of sexuality, gender, asexuality, agender, race, ability and religion, among other identities.

The AccessAbility Center

The AccessAbility Center is a gathering space designed for universal access and to foster conversation about ability, access, and difference. They provide opportunities for students to actively explore differing abilities, envision disability as part of diversity, and understand how difference can enrich the educational experience and lives of those in our campus community.

⭐ Student Organizations

At Princeton, students are given numerous opportunities to shape their experiences and contribute to important decisions facing the University. Whether you choose to run for an elected office, seek an appointed position, or establish a new organization, you have the opportunity to engage in the important work of shaping your undergraduate experience and contributing to the experiences of your peers.

Our 300+ student organizations on campus cater to a broad range of student passions and experiences. From cultural and career groups, to groups focused on advocacy and community engagement, to special interest groups such as the Cheese and Bad Movies Club, the opportunities are endless. These organizations inspire students to continue engaging in an interest they've had or provide them with an opportunity to try something new.

⭐ Academic Support Services

Many academic support services are available free for students, including the Writing Center, which offers one-on-one tutorials, and the McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning, which provides study halls and peer tutoring in select courses and organizes study skill and time management workshops.

For more information about the Writing Center explore their website.

McGraw Center for Teaching and Learning

The McGraw Center provides cost-free services and resources for students, faculty and instructors. For undergraduates, this center helps students prepare for and manage the Princeton academic workload through various programing and workshops through individual and group tutoring and learning consultations and strategies.

⭐ Cultural Affinity Spaces

There are a number of different centers and spaces on campus to support the diverse student body.

The Carl A. Fields Center (CAF)

The Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding's mission is to promote diversity, equality, and pluralism at Princeton and beyond. This facility, at the corner of Prospect Avenue and Olden Street, hosts student-initiated seminars, colloquia, lectures, conferences, ethnic dinners, parties, and other activities that provide the University community with opportunities to explore cultural and racial identities. It contains affinity spaces for different ethnic groups on the second floor and features inspiring quotes and pictures of students of color at Princeton. The center is open to all and enjoys the active participation of students from many different cultural groups. The third floor of CAF is home to Community House, which works with Princeton middle and high school students to bridge the achievement gap.

The Center is named for the first African American Dean in the Ivy League Carl Fields, who came to Princeton in 1964.

⭐ In the Nation's Service

In 2016, Princeton’s informal motto was revised to “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity,” reflecting the University's commitment to service.

Pace Center for Civic Engagement

The Pace Center for Civic Engagement is the hub for experiential service opportunities on and off campus, through such groups as the Student Volunteers Council and Community House. At the Pace Center, students learn how to serve and how to learn from service, in addition to having a positive impact on the individuals and communities with whom they work. Eighty-nine percent of students say service helps them feel like they belong at Princeton.

⭐ Student Goverment

The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) serves as the primary representative and liaison of Princeton undergraduates to the faculty, administration, trustees and broader community. USG provides a range of services to the undergraduate student body; funding individual student organization events, sponsoring campus wide social events, and offering leadership training opportunities.
