Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA) leased an office space in Washington D.C. last spring, marking “the first time in the University’s history that its policy and international affairs school has had a dedicated, physical presence in the nation’s capital” according to the department website. The new space is located in the Dupont Circle neighborhood, less than two miles from Embassy Row.
The Princeton community is full of idealists, activists, and outspoken thinkers. Yet it often seems like this idealism and enthusiasm for service is not carried forward as Princeton graduates move beyond the Orange Bubble. Recent studies of alumni outcomes have demonstrated an apparent lack of commitment to the values Princeton claims to promote. Only 20 percent of employed graduates of the Classes of 2016–2020 work in social impact fields. A recent analysis of prominent campus activists found that some have graduated into fields that work expressly against the values they fought to promote at Princeton. We asked our columnists, young and idealistic, still within the comforts of campus, how they hope to contribute to the world post-graduation, and what they think a Princeton education should prepare them to do.
After 17 seasons leading the Princeton wrestling program, Chris Ayres is going west to take over as the head wrestling coach at Stanford University.

60 percent of graduating seniors in 2023 characterized their career plans as “in the nation’s service,” but this varied widely by job field. For example, 100 percent of respondents going into nonprofit or public service work considered themselves as “in the nation’s service,” whereas this applied to just a third among soon-to-be consultants.
Fall sports were in full swing this past weekend with women’s soccer, volleyball, field hockey, rugby, and volleyball all back in action. The men’s water polo team also hosted the Princeton invitational this past weekend. More on that here.

What to expect as the search for the next dean of the college begins
After it was announced Sept. 7 that Dean of the College Jill Dolan will step down at the end of the 2023–24 school year, many are left wondering what the selection process for the position looks like.
Princeton boasts over 97,000 living alumni and over 8,700 current undergraduate and graduate students. Nearly 90,000 profiles appear in the alumni tab for Princeton on the social network LinkedIn, which would indicate that over 84 percent of these people hold accounts, if all of the accounts on this tab are students or alumni. We looked at the LinkedIn accounts of these users to see in what fields they work, which companies employ them, and where they reside. While surveys show many recent graduates go into finance and consulting, the most common fields for the users were business development, education, and research.
The phrase “In the nation’s service and the service of humanity” inevitably comes up in any conversation about Princeton and public service and is often used as a means to critique graduates’ career paths. A Princetonian who goes on to work in finance or consulting, for example, is seen as betraying the University’s core values and not acting in “the service of humanity.”
Men’s water polo (7–0 overall, 0–0 Northeast Water Polo Conference) returned to DeNunzio Pool this weekend as they hosted the Princeton Invitational Tournament. 11 teams from across the nation traveled to New Jersey to play at DeNunzio Pool, including five teams ranked in the top 20. The Tigers remained undefeated, going 5–0 and bringing their season record to 7–0. This is the Tigers best start to the season since 2017 when they also began 7–0 before dropping a match to No. 4 University of California — Los Angeles (UCLA).

For the third semester in a row, Lawnparties were marked by cloudy skies and sporadic rain. The student opener’s set was canceled due to the forecast and the concert schedule was moved up an hour the day of, but students still turned out for a full day of partying to celebrate the start of the semester.
While researching theory on aesthetic appreciation and artistic analysis in preparation for a trip to Greece with the Western Humanities Sequence last fall, I read a few chapters from a 2015 dissertation in English on romantic hellenism. When I searched for the author’s email in order to thank him for his scholarship, I expected to find him on the faculty page of a University website. Instead, I found his LinkedIn, where it turned out he had followed up his Ph.D with a stint in consulting and was currently working as a research analyst.
