Copy

Over the next week, Princeton undergraduate and graduate students in the United States will receive a copy of The Daily Princetonian’s Sept. special print edition, mailed to their home address. This print issue is unlike anything the ‘Prince’ has released before, apt for a semester unlike any Princeton student has experienced before.

 

The theme of the issue, “Princeton from afar,” examines the question of what makes college meaningful in the absence of a physical campus. In its pages, you can read about all the ways college life has been upended — from student arts groups that have canceled auditions and suspended shows, to businesses in Princeton that are struggling to make ends meet. College continues, but without the shared experiences, opportunities, and spaces that made it meaningful.

 

This newsletter features some of the articles included in the special print edition, as well as certain digital exclusives. If you would like to order copies of our fall print editions, you can find our new online order page here.

 

Thank you for reading the ‘Prince.’
