This past weekend officially marked the end of my career as a student-athlete at Princeton. Although I will no longer spend countless hours underground at Jadwin Gym, the personal identitythat I have developed asa student athlete will stay with me forever.
Street sat down with Shirley Tilghman, who from 2001 to 2013 served as the 19th President of Princeton University. The first female to hold the position, Tilghman discussed her accomplishments as president, gender dynamics at Princeton and the national gender equality movement.
Street sat down with Undergraduate Student Government (USG) president Ella Cheng ’16, one of the many new female leaders on campus. We asked Cheng about the gender dynamics of the USG election last fall and women's leadership roles on campus.
The Princeton Women’s Mentorship Program was founded in the 2011-2012 school year — more than forty years after women were first admitted as undergraduate students to the University in 1969. The program was inspired by a March 2011 report by the Steering Committee onUndergraduate Women’s Leadership. Then-University President Shirley Tilghman created the committee in 2009 to explore the disparities between female and male undergraduates inside and outside the classroom and to understand how both perceive and achieve leadership and success. The 118-page report, which can be foundonline, concluded that women “consistently undersell themselves,” feel “pressured to behave in certain socially accepted ways,” are “outpacing men on our campus in academic achievement, except at the very highest levels” and ultimately “seek, and benefit from, affiliation with other women.”

A teenage boy is building a snowman when a high-priced electronic item abruptly collapses on top of it. The boy looks around, visibly confused by the unfortunate end of his snowman, only to find his little sister continuously pressing Staples’ trademark “Easy” button and causing mayhem all around the house.
“It was good, but it was overwhelming,” Tal Fortgang ’17 said, describing his brush withfame. On April 2 of last year, Fortgang, a freshman at the time, wrote an article in The PrincetonTory titled “Checking My Privilege: Character as the Basis of Privilege.” What followed was amedia frenzy of radio show interview requests, op-eds with counter-arguments and plenty ofemails with positive feedback. Fortgang’s viral piece also landed him appearances onFox News for the whole country, perhaps the world, to see.

We’ve all met our fair share of legendary divas, but the characters in Douglas Carter Beane’s The Little Dog Laughed make Miranda Priestly look like a strawberry shortcake. Beane possesses a particular linguistic talent that he shares with satirists like Oscar Wilde and George Bernard Shaw: the gift for making spoiled, greedy people seem compelling —not because of how they spend their money or with whom they sleep, but because of how they talk.
I stumbled into playing in a band. I’d been a good distance runner in high school, and the extent of my extracurricular plans for freshman year was to try out for the cross country team. I spent much of the summer before that year training to make the coach’s 5k standard. But he suddenly left Princeton and his replacement told me only the day before classes began that they wouldn’t be taking walk-ons. So I drifted around a bit aimlessly for a few months of my freshman existence, not really knowing what to do with myself.
“We’re all one,” boasts the howling Woof (Dylan Blau Edelstein ’17) at the top of PUP’s colorful production of “Hair,” directed by Cat Andre ’17. Following a tribe of friends through sexual revolution, drug experimentation and dissatisfaction with the status quo, this rock musical is hardly a “safe” choice of production. With a script notorious for its lack of character arcs and its absurdity throughout, all too often “Hair” falls from a united piece of social commentary to a disjointed, drug-induced musical revue. While keeping all the moving parts of “Hair”straight is quite a challenge, it is a challenge that, with a few exceptions, PUP’s productionovercomes.
Every year, the Performing Arts Council (PAC) of Princeton University, together with the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Students (ODUS) work in conjunction to produce “This Is Princeton” (TIP), an annual performing arts showcase that spotlights the rich arts culture on campus. Last semester, the two organizations decided to give TIP 2015 the theme of “Black Lives Matter,” in honor of the recent activism on campus. As a result,the Fields Center is also sponsoring the event this year, and the PAC has selected an Artistic Advisory Committee of undergraduates for the first time.

Do you ever look back on your childhood and wonder how you went through each day without a particular food? That’s how I feel about Greek yogurt. (And peanut butter, now that I think of it.) To be honest, I wasn’t even a huge yogurt fan growing up. Unless they were sugary individual packets like “Tubes” or “Minigo,” I wasn't really interested in some fruity goop.

Dear Sexpert,
In some ways, Princeton Latinos y Amigos can trace its roots back to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor and Acción Puertorriqueña, the group she co-chaired while a student at the University. After numerous national origin-specific groups such as Acción Latina, Acción Puertorriqueña’s successor; the Cuban American Undergraduate Students Association; Chicano Caucus; and Colombian Students Association and Friends faded into obscurity, PLA was officially recognized in spring 2013 as a pan-Latino organization for undergraduates on campus.
