Incomplete list of Fall 2024 courses leaked on Fizz: Your Daily ‘Prince’ Briefing
For many Princeton students, “course offerings day,” the day when classes for the following semester are posted by the Registrar, can be a day of frenzied excitement. This year, some celebrated three days early when a post from the morning of Monday, March 25 on the social media app Fizz claimed to leak Princeton’s fall 2024 course offerings. Courses are set to be officially released on Thursday, March 28.
“Scheduled to open in 2025, the Frist Health Center will help the University advance a culture of health and well-being on the Princeton campus,” brags Princeton’s announcement of its new health center. While more space devoted to mental health on campus is critical, we also need to dedicate more time to each student who comes in for treatment. Currently, for many students grappling with mental health issues, the brevity and non-continuity of counseling sessions offered — particularly the default of a 20-minute consultation, and the typical treatment at Counseling and Psychological Services (CPS) being “short-term” — falls dramatically short of what is required for genuine understanding and healing.
Over spring break, two groups traveled to Silicon Valley and New York City through the AI TigerTrek and New York TigerTrek, respectively, both sponsored by the Princeton Entrepreneurship Club. TigerTrek is a series of trips over academic breaks which gives students the opportunity to have intimate conversations with creatives and entrepreneurs in various industries. The AI TigerTrek comes at a time of growing focus on artificial intelligence (AI) at the University and beyond.
Returning home to a rainy campus, the Princeton baseball team (6–13, 2–1 Ivy League) won a series over the Cornell Big Red (3–11, 1–2 Ivy League), who finished seventh in the Ivy League last year. After a tough start to the season featuring blowout losses against nationally ranked opponents, Princeton looked to turn over a new leaf in conference play. Out-of-conference results carry no weight in the Ivy League standings, so the Tigers’ early-season woes are safely behind them as they enter the most important part of their schedule.
Jeffrey Wright, star of the 2024 Academy Award-winning film, “American Fiction,” doesn’t think we Princeton students will take his advice. After all, as he said, we’re young. The celebrated actor is the father of two college-aged kids — he knows how stubborn young adults can be. However, it would be a mistake to not consider his words deeply. This is a man who has an impressive filmography: one that ranges from “Angels in America” to “The Hunger Games,” “James Bond” to “Westworld.” He has worked with the likes of legends such as Mike Nichols, Wes Anderson, M. Night Shyamalan, Sam Mendes, and Spike Lee; he was also cast in Lee’s remake of the Akira Kurosawa classic “High and Low” alongside Denzel Washington.
On Saturday, the No. 15 Princeton men’s volleyball team (10–9 overall, 3–3 Eastern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association) secured a commanding 3–1 victory over one of their oldest rivals, the NJIT Highlanders (8–12, 0–5), gaining some much-needed momentum as they dive into the last quarter of the season.
This past Saturday, the cold Cambridge rain did not stunt No. 17 ranked Princeton men’s lacrosse (5–3 overall, 1–1 Ivy League), as the Tigers defeated the No. 14 ranked Harvard Crimson (6–2 overall, 0–2 Ivy League) by a score of 14–11.
From March 21 to 23, eXpressions Dance Company presented their show “Continuum” in Frist Theater. “Continuum” tells the story of growing up while navigating heartache, new experiences, and homesickness. To quote the event’s program, “Continuum” is “a story told through movement, where every step echoes the one before, and every leap propels [the story] forward.” It was a beautifully-told story, indeed.
New Rocky ADSL talks mental health in interview: Your Daily ‘Prince’ Briefing
My four-year old niece is obsessed with her iPad and she is not alone. Not only are tablets far more common in households with children, but an astonishing 86.6 percent of kids under the age of three exceed the American Academy of Pediatrics’ screen time recommendations. While I fear the developmental consequences of my niece’s early-age exposure to screens, my college-age peers and I should know that we, too, are marred by our current use of technology.
The Undergraduate Student Government (USG) Senate convened for its sixth meeting of the spring semester on Sunday, March 24, diving into discussions ranging from a Project Board presentation to committee chair updates.
