The Legacy of Professor Alfonso Ortiz

On this special episode of Daybreak, we explore the legacy of award-winning anthropologist Dr. Alfonso Ortiz, who served as an Associate Professor of Anthropology at Princeton in the 1970s. A member of the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo, Dr. Ortiz wrote about his own community and staunchly advocated for Indigenous scholars during his time at the University.

Looking back, looking forward: The print commencement issue

The Class of 2021 has been defined by shared realities amid unprecedented times: remote learning, virtual community, and a socially distant final semester. But beyond those collective experiences, they’re a diverse group of athletes, artists, activists, and scholars whose individual perspectives have shaped their time in the Orange Bubble, and whose actions will continue to impact Princetonians for years to come. Here, we look at their four years on campus.
