Today, a nuanced appreciation of cultures and life experiences besides your own is fundamental to a well-rounded education, and Princeton is committed to fostering understanding both at home and abroad. In keeping with our unofficial motto of “Princeton in the nation’s service and in the service of all nations,” we will elevate our program in African American studies into one of the finest in the country, and give every Princeton student a chance to connect firsthand with the world outside the United States.
At the same time, building on assets like the Woodrow Wilson School, we will expand our role in the global conversation by strengthening key programs in languages and multidisciplinary regional studies, and by bringing innovative scholars to Princeton from around the world.

 Issues of health and health care transcend national borders and affect both developing and industrialized nations, whether through the spread of infectious diseases, or the increasing burden of chronic health problems that have pervasive political and economic impacts. To address these issues, Princeton has launched an ambitious Global Health Initiative to generate the scholarship fundamental to health improvements, and to educate students as future scientists, practitioners, and policy leaders focused on solving the world’s most challenging health problems. |

 Higher education is going global. How can Princeton University position its students and faculty at the cutting edge of worldwide exchanges? How will Princeton ensure full participation in global study and research? To respond to these challenges, the University has founded the Council for International Teaching and Research (CITR), whose mission is to facilitate international collaboration by promoting the exchange of faculty and young scholars across borders, supporting the establishment and maintenance of international networks, and providing opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students to engage in meaningful, hands-on work with a global reach. |

 Launched in the fall of 2006, the Center for African American Studies will serve as a model for teaching and research on race in America, building on the University’s strong core of faculty with a history of distinguished contributions to African American studies. These faculty members will work with a new generation of scholars who are reinvigorating the field with fresh perspectives on such subjects as the interplay of gender and racial identity, the concept of “whiteness,” and the impact of an emerging Latino population. |

 The Princeton University Preparatory Program bridges the social, cultural, and academic gaps that stand between intellectually gifted high school students from low-income backgrounds and selective institutions of higher education. Each year, PUPP selects 20 to 25 freshmen from public high schools in nearby communities and immerses them in a multiyear program that provides them with the knowledge, experiences, and confidence they need to fulfill their academic aspirations. |
