As night fell over the University chapel last Thursday, about 50 students, faculty, and community members gathered to commemorate the lives lost during the mass exodus of over 100,000 ethnic Armenians from the breakaway state of Nagorno-Karabakh following Azerbaijan’s recent invasion. Until this month, upwards of 120,000 Armenians lived in the contested region and their departure in the face of fears of ethnic cleansing has been referred to as a cultural genocide.

As Princeton students finish their last midterms before fall break, the Honor Code pledge is becoming second nature to many. Princeton’s Honor Code binds students to a set of academic integrity intended to be upheld by the student body. The Honor Code has been praised by some as a way to promote dignity and integrity, while its disciplinary process has been criticized by some as a mentally taxing and unfair.

After Elizabeth Tsurkov, a graduate student in the Politics department, was kidnapped in March while conducting dissertation research in Baghdad, the University's processes for travel approval have been under the spotlight. In interviews with the Daily Princetonian, two graduate students discussed a culture where graduate students are primarily responsible for considering safety regarding travel plans related to research. The University responded by noting numerous resources graduate students can use to assess the safety of their travel, along with processes as a part of official travel approval.

Though 12 percent of undergraduates are international, Princeton has historically struggled to attract international students who don’t have previous connections to America, according to Ed Rogers ’87, president of the Princeton Club of Japan — many international students come from American families or attend American international schools. According to alumni leaders, in the 2000s and 2010s, the university and alumni have expanded recruitment efforts to reach a more diverse pool of international applicants. The Daily Princetonian spoke with alumni in Asia about the evolution of recruitment abroad.

Given the lack of diversity within the traditional literary canon (drinking game: take a shot for every famous author named “Jack” or “John”), it may come as a surprise that Amy Tan’s “The Joy Luck Club” is not the only Asian book on the literary scene. Having discovered this fact, I’ve made a conscious effort to read more books by authors of Asian descent, especially those dealing with “third culturism” — the reconciliation of an inherited culture with a different culture that one grew up or resides in. These are 10 of my favorite books by authors of Asian descent featuring Asian main characters, ranked from least to most focused on Asian identity.

On Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorists from the Gaza Strip killed, raped, kidnapped, and wounded thousands of innocent civilians in Israel’s Southern District on the Jewish holiday of Simchat Torah. They took over one hundred and fifty civilians hostage, including American citizens, and they have threatened to begin executing them. At least 1,300 Israelis are dead. Proportionately, that’s as if almost 40,000 Americans had died on 9/11.

As the Class of 2026 prepares to declare their majors this spring, sophomores anxiously dissect the options available to them. Which major would meet their academic interest? Which one would align with their career goals?

As one of only seven American institutions to offer need-blind admissions to international applicants, Princeton appears to do more than most universities to help students of all backgrounds from around the globe. This includes supporting a crucial, yet often overlooked group necessary to creating a vibrant campus community: low-income international students. Despite need-blind admission, the University still does not do enough to attract low-income students globally and integrate them into the community.

One of my fondest memories of fall semester last year took place at Blair Arch. With a cup of apple cider in one hand and a cupcake in the other, I stood under the arch listening to the soothing, harmonious voices of VTone as they sang mashups from artists like Joji and Kenshi Yonezu. Ever since, I’ve been a fan of VTone, Princeton’s premier East Asian acapella group which performs mashups of Korean pop, Chinese pop, and Japanese pop songs. For this special issue spotlighting Asian voices on Princeton’s campus, I sat down with Inwoo Shin ’26, the vice president of VTone, to hear her reflections on her journey with VTone thus far.

On Wednesday, Oct. 3, Princeton’s McCarter Theatre was home to the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de México. The orchestra put on an enthralling live-to-concert performance of the score of the award-winning Pixar film “Coco” as the film played on the screen for a young audience eager to revisit the crowd-pleasing story. With its spirited 20-person ensemble, the Orquesta Folclórica Nacional de Mexico's version of “Coco” was a lively celebration of the movie’s musical roots, likely as unforgettable for me as it was for the concert’s many young attendants.
