This Saturday, thousands of Princeton alumni and parents flocked to see the Princeton football team reach a surprising victory over longtime nemesis Harvard. To the Undergraduate Student Government (USG), this victory came with a significant achievement for their programming. At the start of their October 22 meeting, USG President Stephen Daniels ’24 spoke about the success of the USG-sponsored Homecoming football game event which included a J.Crew pop-up shop and free food. He estimated that attendance was around 300–400 students. Daniels also stated he was “preparing for the Yale game,” mentioning the potential bonfire that would occur if Princeton also wins the game against Yale on Nov. 11. USG currently has $10,000 budgeted under their bonfire reserve.

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.

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.

Professors in the School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) Angus Deaton and Anne Case recently drafted a new paper for the Fall 2023 Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA) conference documenting the widening mortality gap between Americans with and without a Bachelor’s degree (BA). The study found that adult life expectancy for Americans with a BA in 2021 was 8.5 years longer than for Americans without a BA, who make up two-thirds of the American adult population.

The results are in. Five members of the Class of 2027 were elected to represent their peers on their Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Class Council. Dean Minello ’27, D’Schon Simmons ’27, Aum Dhruv ’27, Allie Ebanks ’27, and Muhamary Kiherille ’27 were elected out of a field of 23 candidates, the largest since the Fall 2020 election for the Class of 2024 first-year Class Council.

While mind-reading may seem like a distant reality, the foundations of mind reading are grounded in scientific research. The lab of Kenneth Norman, Huo Professor in Computational and Theoretical Neuroscience and Chair of the Department of Psychology, has developed and employed novel applications to detect and measure brain activity. These applications, in conjunction with artificial intelligence (AI), are then used to interpret thoughts. Norman emphasized the potential of his work for advances in brain-computer interfaces, diagnosing mental illness and neurological conditions, and education.

Princeton’s Operations Research and Financial Engineering (ORFE) department has described itself as a one-of-a-kind program that combines data-driven science with principles that can be applied to a wide range of fields, including finance, communications, and transportation. It is a department that prides itself on the study of “optimal decision-making under uncertainty.” Yet a failure in a different optimization problem — the optimal number of students to accept in 2020 — created a series of bottlenecks in the department.

In 2021, Atlantic reporter Emma Green pressed President Christopher Eisgruber ’83 on whether Princeton should exist, noting that compared to The City University of New York, for example, Princeton spends an extraordinary amount of money on its relatively few students. Eisgruber noted that Princeton’s purpose was to educate future leaders, but in recent years, Princeton has also focused on creating programs that serve more than the campus community, specifically aimed at helping students achieve social mobility. In 2022, Princeton formed a research partnership with five historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) to facilitate inclusion in a variety of academic disciplines. Princeton has also recently started a program to help local community college students transition to four-year colleges, which Eisgruber recently touted while at the White House.

School of Public and International Affairs professor Noreen Goldman and her colleagues recently published “The impact of COVID-19 on life expectancy among four Asian American subgroups,” deconstructing aggregate data about Asian American life expectancies after the pandemic. Published in the Social Science & Medicine - Population Health journal, the study found that Asian Americans as a whole faced greater losses in life expectancy between 2019 and 2020 than the white population, losing 1.1 to 3.9 years, with the largest drops occurring among Chinese women and Filipino men.
