Diversity

The AccessAbility Center is a new student gathering space on campus designed for universal access and intended to foster conversation about ability, access and difference. The mission of the AccessAbility Center is to 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.

At the Fields Center, diverse perspectives and experiences of race, class, gender and their intersections are supported and challenged, questioned and answered. These values are cultivated through the celebration of heritage months, dialogues and discussions, the Princeton University Mentoring Program (PUMP) and the Carl Fields Fellows peer educator program. Additionally, the Center’s student-friendly space offers numerous opportunities for relaxation and engagement — comfy lounges, study breaks, movie nights, galas, festivals and more.

The Center for Jewish Life embraces all Jewish students, amplifying connections to Jewish meaning, experience and community. The Center aspires to provide insights and pathways to help Princeton Jewish students live their lives as a sacred gift. They hope to help every student find their own voice within the larger narrative of the Jewish people — on their own terms — at their own level, but in ways that are deeply connected to the wisdom of our ancient tradition and linked to the opportunities and challenges of today’s complex world.

The Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity advances Princeton's commitment to an inclusive student body. Its programs are designed to provide all students, including those from first-generation, low-income and underrepresented backgrounds, with the mentorship, academic enrichment and community that they need to thrive at Princeton. They also empower students to successfully navigate the University’s many resources to achieve their professional, personal and scholarly goals, and to become active leaders on campus and in the larger world.

The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center aims to facilitate conversations on gender and sexuality and provide training, education and resources for the Princeton community at large with a primary focus on the student experience. Those at the center work to create a more inclusive campus for transgender, women, two-spirit, femme, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual and the vast expanses of the a/sexual, a/gender and a/romantic communities of Princeton. This is accomplished by providing a space that centers marginalized gendered experiences, recognizing the historical and pervasive impact of patriarchy, heterosexism, transphobia and sexualities across the identity paradigms.

The Pace Center supports efforts to identify and address issues of public concern, to be actively engaged citizens and to practice effective public leadership for the purpose of building stronger communities and societies throughout the world. The center helps undergraduate and graduate students make meaningful connections through learning, experience and reflection in service and civic engagement.

The Office of Religious Life strives to encourage spiritual growth and maturity within Princeton University in ways that are appropriate for each community member: to promote empirical religious literacy in preparation for citizenship in globalized, multi-religious societies; to equip members of the University community with the ability to critically analyze religious traditions while practicing them; and to teach respect to practicing and nonpracticing community members.

Dedicated to the philosophy that students should be directly involved in the decisions that affect them, the Undergraduate Student Government (USG) serves as the primary representative and liaison of Princeton undergraduates to the faculty, administration, trustees and broader community. The 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.
