Greetings Everyone,
I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather we have been receiving the past few days. I recently wrapped up my first in-person recruitment visit in over two years and it was incredible! I traveled to Atlanta to visit the McNair Scholars at Morehouse College and the UNCF/Mellon Fellows at Spelman College, then later in the week attended the McNair Scholars Conference at the University of Maryland, College Park. The opportunity to engage with these incredibly gifted and aspiring graduate students was deeply inspiring. What I know for sure is that, recruiting is speaking less about how amazing I think Princeton is and more about listening to how amazing these students are…similar to all of you, they will indeed be arbiters of knowledge, patent producers, future faculty, and so much more. I am excited to play a small part in their journey and yours. Check out a few pictures below from that visit!
Cheers to a wonderful and productive week.

Freshman Scholars Institute (FSI) Summer RGS Opportunity
FSI is a seven-week summer program that allows a cohort of entering students the chance to experience the intellectual, co-curricular, and social life at Princeton prior to the beginning of the fall semester. During the program, Freshman Scholars immerse themselves in the intellectually vibrant culture at Princeton through two credit-bearing seminar-style courses and/or laboratory research experiences. They engage with fellow scholars in a variety of co-curricular, community-building activities and work closely with faculty members from a range of academic disciplines and fields. By experiencing early the many resources that Princeton has to offer, Freshman Scholars have the chance to prepare themselves to be future campus leaders and peer mentors. Find out more about FSI here: https://fsi.princeton.edu/
In the summer of 2022, FSI will begin on July 4th(Monday) and conclude on August 25th (Thursday). The Resident Graduate Students (RGSes) play a crucial role in the administration of the program, serving as liaisons between the undergraduate students (participants and Residential College Advisers) and FSI program administrators.
