Draughon promotes campus unity in BSU
Some students attend Princeton for the prestige, others for the faculty and academics, perhaps others for the Gothic architecture and beautiful campus.Dwight Draughon '08 came because of a TV show."It was a childhood dream to come to Princeton because Carlton from 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' wanted to go there," he said.If this doesn't seem like the typical response, it is probably because Draughon is not the typical Princeton student.Instead, Draughon, president of the Black Student Union (BSU), is making sure he serves as a voice for students who don't necessarily conform and want a comfortable group on campus.Born in the South Bronx, Draughon, 19, said that life at Princeton is drastically different from the environment where he grew up."Being at Princeton is a tough situation," he said.
