On March 8, the University announced in an email to students, staff, and faculty that it would be installing security cameras “at all exterior doorways in undergraduate residential college buildings and dorms” by the start of the Fall 2023 semester.

The building will also adapt to new sustainability standards to support Princeton’s goal of reaching net zero carbon emissions by 2046.

On the evening of Monday, Dec. 5, a group of Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resource, and Education (SHARE) Peers watched as Delaney Callaghan ’23 lit a candle on the sidewalk of Prospect Street.
