Calling on fellow Princetonians interested in launching a local PWN chapter

Nearly 3,000 alumni gather back at Old Nassau in the fall for She Roars 2018.

Since then, interest in alumnae engagement has increased resulting in the launch of six additional chapters of PWN - click here for list of current chapters.

Given the high number of alumnae who attend She Roars from this area, we as a regional association are interested in exploring the option of launching a PWN chapter of our own. If you are interested in spearheading this initiative, or learning more, please contact the PWN liaison for the Office of Alumni Affairs, Emily Latham, at

Three CT alumni organizations share Alumni Council Award!

The three organizations (PAAFC, PAAEC and PACC) have been working together for the past few years. Our mutual support was noticed outside of Connecticut. At the 2011 Reunions in May, the three Connecticut alumni organizations were awarded the Committee on Regional Associations Award for Innovation. The Alumni Council cited the three associations “for institutionalizing the practice of ongoing collaboration with neighboring regional associations to engage all Princeton alumni living in the state of Connecticut.”
