Programs from Asian alumni groups aim to increase diversity of international student body
Though 12 percent of undergraduates are international, Princeton has historically struggled to attract international students who don’t have previous connections to America, according to Ed Rogers ’87, president of the Princeton Club of Japan — many international students come from American families or attend American international schools. According to alumni leaders, in the 2000s and 2010s, the university and alumni have expanded recruitment efforts to reach a more diverse pool of international applicants. The Daily Princetonian spoke with alumni in Asia about the evolution of recruitment abroad.
