Project of the Week: SVC Tiger TAILS

By Stephanie Teeple '14

The pre-medical community at Princeton is a thriving one. A large percentage of students during their time as an undergrad describe themselves as “pre-med,” and intend to pursue a medical degree after Princeton. Still others are interested in medicine in a different light, through programs like the Global Health and Health Policy certificate, or classes such as Medical Anthropology. And although  there are many clubs and organizations that deal with human health and its implications, it can be hard for students interested in four-legged health to find an outlet for their passion.

Learn more about the SVC and the PCCV!

By Stephanie Teeple '14

The Pace Center. The Pace Council for Civic Values (PCCV for short). The Student Volunteers Council. Different than the SVC Executive Board? But I thought the PCCV and the Pace Center were the same thing? Navigating the ins and outs of civic engagement organizations on Princeton's campus can be confusing. That's why Shirley Gao '13, co-chair of the PCCV, said she wanted to take this opportunity to draw a diagram.

Pace Project of the Week: Special Olympics Skating

Many of us have experienced that exhilarating sensation of ice skating - the feeling of gliding, the sharp breeze, and the sharper cold of the ice when you put a hand to it (or, as the case may be, when you fall down).

Those who have not yet experienced such a thing still somehow remain entranced by the gentle whirling motions of the skaters in the iconic Rockefeller Center of New York.

For some, skating is a classic childhood experience; for others, it is a graceful art form - and for others, ice skating is still yet more.

Pace Project of the Week: Princeton students tell hunger to 'pack it up'

Back in the fall of 2009, a Trenton area charitable organization called Mercer Street Friends had the best of problems.

It had a rapidly growing new program on their hands - a weekly effort that diverted food from their food bank to local elementary schools, who had sizeable populations of children that received free lunches - and there was high demand from an increasing number of schools to provide the children with much-needed meals to eat over the weekend, when the subsidized food was out of reach.
