PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton University has launched a new engagement initiative to tackle the challenges faced by the community and nation.
Titled ‘A Year of Forward Thinking’ the initiative will involve students, faculty, staff, alumni and community members who will focus on issues like COVID-19, systemic racism, social justice and democracy, data science and bioengineering.
“As we confront the challenges of COVID and reckon with systemic racism, we have been tested as a nation and as a University. It is important that we come together as Princetonians,” Provost Deborah Prentice said in a statement.
