 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.

On Friday, June 5th, we will be joined by Leslie Ribovich, Ph.D. Candidate in the Department of Religion.  How did public schools teach ideas of morality before and after the U.S. Supreme Court declared school prayer and Bible reading unconstitutional in the early 1960s?  How did ideas and shifting practices about race shape what schools called "moral education?"  Leslie will explore these and other questions in a discussion of her research on the historical intersections of religion, morality and race in New York City public high schools from the 1950s to 1980.

First Friday Lunch - May 1st, 2015 - Brittney Edmonds, PhD Candidate in the English Department

Join us for First Fridays, a monthly recurring event for undergraduate and graduate Princeton alumni, graduate students, and parents.  On the first Friday of each month, area alumni and their guests will meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton University PhD candidate will present his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!  Have a look at our impressive roster of previous luncheons.

On Friday, May 1st, we will be joined by Brittney Edmonds, Doctoral Candidate in the Department of English.  Brittney is currently writing a dissertation entitled Consuming Blackness: The Afterlife of the Commodity, which examines contemporary African-American literature by attending to a long neglected legacy issuing out the institution of slavery in the United States.  Brittney argues that the commodity status of Afro-Americans under slavery not only subjected the enslaved to a dehumanizing status before the law and the socio-political category of the human, but also, codified a perverse relationship between African-Americans and the market.  Brittney will explore this relationship in a brief conversation about gentrification, the African-American male writer, and Mat Johnson's 2003 novel Hunting in Harlem. 

As always, there is sure to be a lively discussion!  Please join us.

The Fifth Gospel                                     Image result for ian caldwell '98



On Thursday, April 30th, Ian Caldwell ’98, co-author of the New York Times bestseller “The Rule of Four,” will read from his new novel.  In 2004, “The Rule of Four” – a book set at Princeton – became a nationwide bestseller. “The Fifth Gospel,” the second novel from Ian Caldwell, has been named the upcoming #1 book in the country by the national organization of independent bookstores, and the #1 most anticipated thriller of the season by Publishers Weekly.

Praise for The Fifth Gospel:

“A stunning and addictive read . . . Part murder mystery, part family drama, part religious history, this keep-you-on-edge literary thriller doesn’t miss a beat. Caldwell’s elegant language combines with a truly provocative plot . . . Obsessively readable.” — Library Journal, Editor’s Pick for Spring

“A brilliant work . . . Extraordinarily erudite . . . Caldwell makes intriguing literature from complex theology.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“A superior religious thriller, notable for its existential and spiritual profundity . . . An intelligent and deeply contemplative writing style, along with more than a few bombshell plot twists, set this one above the pack, but it’s the insightful character development that makes this redemptive story so moving.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Captivating . . . This thriller is, at its heart, a story of sacrifice, forgiveness, and redemption. Peppered with references to real-life people, places, and events, the narrative rings true, taking the reader on an emotional journey nearly two thousand years in the making.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“Here motives are nuanced shadows that are as hard to grasp for Alex as they are for readers. It is this very elusiveness, juxtaposed against a strong sense of place, that intrigues, making this the best kind of page-turner, one about which you also have to think.” — Booklist (starred review)

From David Baldacci: “It’s been ten years since Ian Caldwell co-wrote The Rule of Four. The Fifth Gospel was more than worth the wait. For those who might compare it to The Da Vinci Code, don’t. This marvelous book stands alone and will become the very high standard for any novel in this genre. Masterfully plotted and extraordinarily researched, and written in a voice that never rings false, The Fifth Gospel is that rare story: erudite and a page-turner, literary but compulsively readable. It will change the way you look at organized religion, humanity, and perhaps yourself.”

From Nelson DeMille: “The Fifth Gospel is nothing short of groundbreaking—a literary feast wrapped around an intriguing murder mystery. Caldwell writes with precision and passion as he takes us on an emotional journey deep into the workings of the Vatican and deeper into the hearts and souls of the men and women who have devoted their lives to the Church. The Fifth Gospel is a cathedral where skeptics and believers alike may enter and all will leave transformed.”

From Lev Grossman: “An amazing achievement: The Fifth Gospel is a gripping thriller rich with human drama and forbidden knowledge.”

From Mary Doria Russell, author of The Sparrow: “You are going to hear a lot about how this book took ten years to write and how it’s minutely researched and erudite. Forget all that. This thing reads like a rocket. Jump on and hold tight.”

From Kate Braestrup, ordained minister and author of Here If You Need Me: “Under Caldwell’s deft hand, the Vatican becomes a setting both real and surreal, utopian and dystopian by turns, a tiny, walled country where the switchboard operators and nannies are nuns, the cops are Swiss Guards, and a priest suspected of murder is tried not for his life but for the meaning he has given it. In such a setting, small and seemingly arcane details of scriptural interpretation are clues to the mystery, driving the interlocking dramas of family and history in ways that aren’t just plausible but compelling. There is passion in The Fifth Gospel, and a tremendous depth of knowledge; the fruits of Caldwell’s obviously extensive research are served up in perfectly timed portions that propel the action in surprising ways.”
