Initiatives

Princeton University has launched a series of initiatives to cultivate and sustain a more diverse, safe and accessible campus, and to develop and promote a more inclusive culture and climate. To bring energy to this work and invest in a culture of excellence, we are committed to recruiting, retaining and supporting a diverse community of students, faculty and staff.
