“The excellence of America’s leading research universities, including Princeton, depends not only on attracting talented people from all backgrounds but also on ensuring that they can thrive on our campuses,” President Christopher L. Eisgruber wrote in the report. He also expressed appreciation for campus community members who have “joined together to provide access, seek scholarly innovation and embrace diversity and inclusion as vital ingredients of the Princeton experience.”

The 2023-24 report summarizes the University’s ongoing and new efforts in the areas of climate, equity and inclusion, such as the Rose Castle Society, where students from different backgrounds, faith traditions and political orientations learn how people can come together across differences; academic experience, such as the Princeton Alliance for Collaborative Research and Innovation’s research projects between Princeton faculty and collaborators at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs); and access and outreach, such as the establishment of the Program for Community College Engagement to coordinate Princeton partnerships with community colleges in New Jersey.
