Nominating Committee Seeks Suggestions for 2013 Officers

A Nominating Committee has been constituted as required by the Association's by-laws for the purpose of nominating four officers (president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer) and one director (to bring the directors up to the mandated number of six.)    A copy of our by-laws is on the PA3 website.    The responsibilities of the various officers and the directors are described in the by-laws.   Under Sec. 5.2 of the by-laws, the Nominating Committee "is responsible for developing a slate of candidates to be presented at the annual meeting...." . Under Sec. 2.5, the election of officers and directors shall take place "at the annual meeting".   

If any member wishes to communicate suggestions concerning the positions to be filled, for consideration by the Nominating Committee, please contact any one of us by email or telephone.  Members of the Nominating Committee and their email addresses are indicated below.  Other coordinates are available on TigerNet.    In order to permit the Nominating Committee to prepare the slate of candidates sufficiently in advance of the annual meeting,  all suggestions must reach us not later than Friday, April 5, 2013.  The Nominating Committee will communicate to the membership recommendations for the positions to be filled at least one week in advance of the annual meeting, with biographical and other relevant information.

Happy Hour
 - Thursday March 28th

Co-Sponsored with Harvard and Penn!

Metro North
378 Alexander Rd, Princeton NJ
Thursday, March 28th
6:30 - 8:30PM


We're coming out of hibernation a bit early this year to team up with the Harvard Club of Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania Club of Metro New Jersey for a fun, informal happy hour at Metro North in Princeton.

If you haven't been to an IvyPlus event, we hope that you will be able to join us for this event! We are an informal group of people associated with Ivy League schools and other great institutions. We are a group that ranges broadly in age and experience and are united by a great love of science and the arts. 

We always have a lot of laughs and really great conversations.
 Please let us know if we will have the pleasure of your company. Please feel free to bring your friends and/or significant other.

If you are interested in helping us out or have ideas for different events, please let us know!

Hope to see you there,
Lily and Reilly

First Friday Lunch with Jason McSheene, PhD Candidate in Molecular Biology

FIRST FRIDAY LUNCH AT THE NASSAU CLUB - APRIL 5th, 2013

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 meet to enjoy a prix fixe luncheon buffet at the Nassau Club in downtown Princeton.  As a special bonus for PA3, a Princeton PhD candidate presents his/her work to the group in this informal setting.  Topics vary monthly and are always interesting!


This month, we will be joined by Jason McSheene, a PhD candidate in the Molecular Biology Department. 
  Jason's work focuses on developmental biology.  His research focuses on the mechanisms by which embryos are able to generate the break in left-right symmetry and convert it into biochemical messages that influence heart morphogenesis.

Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes the Nassau Club’s full buffet as well as a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink). Pre-registration is required. 

>> Looking forward to seeing you...in your orange and black! <<

Date: Friday, April 5th, 2013
Time: 12 noon - 2:00 pm
