Our Alumni
Alumni are a tremendously important part of the Press Club experience; they’re our first source of information on the ethics and etiquettes of journalism, and they provide us great advice on how to move forward with our careers after Princeton. Alumni have applied the skills learned in Press Club to distinguished careers in journalism, communications and beyond, and the club is always thrilled to host alumni for on-campus dinners or informal visits.
Twice a year, the Press Club’s Alumni Advisory Board meets with students to help define the Club’s strategic goals, in which current and past members go over an official Board Report—compiled and written entirely by students—and reflect on ways to improve the Press Club experience.
