55er Tribute Page
Founded in 1989 by Princeton’s Class of ’55, Princeton AlumniCorps supports community organizations committed to building a more just, equitable and sustainable society by developing and engaging young leaders and professionals of all ages to advance social change.
The 35th Anniversary will officially launch on May 23, 2025 with a combined Project 55 Anniversary and 70th Class Reunion celebration event, during Princeton Reunions. The celebrations will continue with events in Washington D.C., Chicago, New York, New England, and San Francisco through the remainder of the year.
We are honored to celebrate the legacy of our founders, Princeton Class of 1955, and the profound impact they have had on fostering civic engagement, service, and systemic change among Princeton alumni and across the nation. Together, we will celebrate the last 35 years and look to the future in sharing Princeton AlumniCorps new strategic vision for a path forward.
