Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS)
Established by the Princeton University Class of 1969 in the belief that community service is essential to the welfare of society and inspired by the rich tradition of Princeton and Princetonians “in the Nation’s Service and in the Service of All Nations.” PICS has become a multi class organization that provides the opportunity for students to explore potential careers in public service and the non-profit sector. Princeton students bring their creativity, skills, and energy to their sponsoring non-profit organizations, producing effective, meaningful work on significant projects of value to the organizations. The internships encompass a wide range of endeavors in national and international organizations, working in group advocacy, legal services, public policy, the environment, health and social services, community development, education, and the arts. Since we began in 1996, we have placed over 600 interns with 172 organizations.

Tiger to Tiger Connection - This Side of Paradise-inspired Musical in NYC

Hello fellow Tigers!

I wanted to share with you that the (Princeton alumni founded) Prospect Theater Company original musical, THE UNDERCLASSMAN, will be playing in NYC on 42nd Street from Nov 9 - 23, 2014 (hopefully we will be able to extend, but for now it's just 16 performances). 

This musical is inspired by THIS SIDE OF PARADISE and is about Fitzgerald's college years at Princeton, and his first romance with the debutante Ginevra King, who became the model for Daisy in THE GREAT GATSBY. Please visit www.ProspectTheater.org for full details - tickets will be on sale as of Sept. 9!



Also, we are currently in the midst of an Indiegogo fundraising campaign to support this project! We are currently at 35% of our goal, with 20 days remaining - and we would love to ask for your support! If you are interested in making a tax-deductible contribution, we will be very grateful! There's also a brief video with composer / lyricist Peter Mills '95 talking about the show. Here's the link:

All the Best,

RECAP First Friday Lunch - February 2014

Friederike Funk, PhD Candidate in Psychology, discusses the Social Psychology of Punishment

Fourth year psychology Ph.D. candidate Friederike Funk discussed her research for those attending the second First Friday Luncheon of 2014.

A social psychologist, Ms. Funk is especially interested in various forms of punishment for criminal and other forms of deviant behavior.

          Ms. Funk's dissertation addresses the question of whether we punish deviate behavior to promote desirable behavioral changes. Punishment does not provide satisfaction either for people who have suffered from the actions of deviants or who are observers of deviances, unless punish results in behavioral change.        

          In a different line of research, Ms. Funk has used such techniques as computer simulations and the application of makeup to change persons' appearances to test the effects of physical characteristics. The presence or absence of tattoos is a striking example of how appearance can lead to bias.

          Ms. Funk has found that criminal appearance in general increases the likelihood of guilty verdicts.  Imposing punishment or even assessing its appropriateness may also depend upon a lack of remorse displayed by deviants. This is a potential source of legal bias, as lack of remorse can also be a sign of true innocence, of course. Falsely accused deviants cannot demonstrate remorse when they have nothing to remorseful about.

          Ms. Funk also described attitudes toward deviants in Canada, Germany, and the United States. Generally, people in the United States seemed to be "harsh" in the sense that they favored severe punishments for various crimes, while Canadians and Germans were more "lenient" in their approach. Their attitudinal differences do not really affect the penalties given to criminals in the three countries, however.         

          If you would like to read more about Ms. Funk’s research, these are the articles that deal with some of the findings she discussed (available online):

Funk, F. & Todorov, A. (2013). Criminal stereotypes in the courtroom: Facial tattoos affect guilt and punishment differently. Psychology, Public Policy, and Law, 19(4), 466-478.

Kugler, M. B., Funk, F., Braun, J., Gollwitzer, M., Kay, A., & Darley, J. M. (2013). Differences in punitiveness across three cultures: A test of American Exceptionalism in justice attitudes. Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, 103(4), 1071-1114.
