PUMP
Princeton University Mentoring Program is now recruiting mentors for the 2016-2017 academic year!!
If you have ever felt confused or overwhelmed at Princeton or have benefited from a mentorship experience on campus, now is the time to take on that mentor role for an incoming Princetonian by joining PUMP!! You can help them navigate campus and make their transition into campus life a lot easier!
PUMP is a mentorship program which offers mentoring services and resources for students of color at Princeton. Under the Carl A. Fields Center, we receive direct administrative support to develop activities and event programming for our community of mentors and mentees. Our mission is to enrich and support the lives of students through leadership, mentoring, and community building.
PUMP matches each first year participant with a mentor from the sophomore, junior or senior class based on similar academic and social interests. The combination of one-on-one and cluster mentoring is designed to support students and also encourage them to contribute to the general Princeton University community.
We are revamping the program next year to include more study breaks, cultural events, family dinner outings, connections to scholarship/internship resources, and cool NEW GEAR!!!
For more information or questions please contact us at CAF@princeton.edu

SPEAR: Identity in the Age of Mass Incarceration
Students for Prison Education and Reform (SPEAR) is excited to announce that our third annual conference, Identity in the Age of Mass Incarceration, will be happening from Friday, April 15 to Sunday, April 17! Our annual conference is an exciting opportunity to attend panels, participate in workshops, and network with advocates and activists concerned with mass incarceration.
For more information and speaker bios, click this link. If you would like to attend, please register here and RSVP to our Facebook event here.
This year, our conference is focused around the criminalization of identity. Specifically, we’ll be examining how marginalized populations -- including racial minorities, undocumented immigrants, and the LGBTQ community -- are persecuted by our penal system on the basis of those identities. We are collaborating with DREAM, MASJID, AASA, BJL, and other student groups on campus to bring a diverse array of speakers and panelists to campus, creating a space at Princeton for students and community members to share in our vision for a more humane criminal justice system.
Programming for the conference includes…
-A keynote address by Black Lives Matter activist Shaun King on Friday 4/15 at 6pm in Guyot 10
-Theater piece Tales from the Cell, "an artistic illustration of prison ... from those that have been there," on Friday 4/15 at 8:30pm in McCosh 50
-Panels on immigrant detention, gender and sexual identity within the carceral system, and the policing of black lives onSaturday 4/16
…as well as lectures and workshops by other advocates, activists, and formerly incarcerated/detained individuals!
If you have any questions about the conference or SPEAR in general, feel free to email SPEAR’s co-presidents, Abby (agellman@princeton.edu) and Julie (juliefc@princeton.edu).

PHMC: Creative Expressions Night
Sign up for Creative expressions night
We are going to be holding our first Creative Expression Night on Friday, April 22th in the Carl A Fields Center! In the spirit of Vagina Monologues and Me Too Monologues, this event will be a collection of performances aimed at highlighting the intersection of class and other identities on campus. The theme will be "Unspoken, But Not Silent". Class is a topic that is very often not discussed on our campus and we want to create a space for these experiences to be heard. Our goal is to de-stigmatize discussions about class-related experiences through a variety of spoken word pieces, dances, visual arts, monologues, etc. If you have a piece you would be interested in performing or showcasing during this night to create dialogue about the intersection of class and identity please submit it to this form. You may also submit a piece that can be performed anonymously for you or will be included in the program anonymously. Deadline for submission is Sunday, April 10 at midnight. Send questions to mbui@princeton.edu.
PHMC Thoughts Photo Campaign
Sign Up for the “Thoughts Photo Campaign”
PHMC is organizing a new Photo Campaign to further share your stories on campus.
The photos feature students from Princeton and thoughts that have consumed them during their everyday routines at Princeton that pertain to their identity as low-income and/or first-generation students. This was with the hope that this campaign will help to spur dialogue about socioeconomic status and more specifically about being a socioeconomically disadvantaged student at Princeton.
You can sign-up by filling out this survey which also includes your availability for either mornings, afternoons, and evenings. We will then contact you after to coordinate a specific time.
To see all the photos from the campaign visit this page!
