First Friday Lunch - December 4th, 2015
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, December 4th, we will be joined by Julie Whittaker, a graduate student at the Woodrow Wilson School.  Julie was living and working in Jordan on the Syrian crisis response before returning to start her Masters degree at Princeton.  She had first moved to Jordan on a Fulbright Scholarship, during which she designed educational programming at a local university as well as Baga'a Camp, Jordan's largest Palestinian refugee camp.  After her Fulbright, Julie's work focused on supporting Syrian refugees in Za'atari Camp, the second largest refugee camp in the world.

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


Specially priced at $25/person (or $30 if you choose not to pay PA3's annual dues), lunch includes three courses, a complementary beverage (wine, beer, soft drink) and coffee/tea. Pre-registration is preferred.

 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.
