Before my first day as president of the Performing Arts Council (PAC), my predecessor told me that the role would be easy because I could let the Office of the Dean of Undergraduate Studies (ODUS) take the reins.

Whatever your creative desires may be, the New College West Ceramics Studio — located across from the Addy Hall Coffee Club — can serve as an outlet.

Five years ago, a columnist for The Daily Princetonian argued that first-year Writing Seminar should be pass/D/fail (PDF)-only. Then, when COVID-19 struck, his argument was tested: Princeton made Writing Seminar PDF-only. At the time of the policy change, a peer academic advisor remarked that the change would “[give] people a chance to actually learn what’s being taught” and a writing program professor said that he hoped the change would “encourage students to further experiment with their writing.” Despite compelling reasons to keep Writing Seminar PDF, Princeton went back to mandatory letter grades.
