The Connect Steering Committee noted in its 2009 Strategic Plan:

"Princeton’s black alumni now represent a critical mass in the alumni body, and the time has come to ensure that we play an integral part—and that our voices are heard—in this crucial endeavor.

To sustain Princeton’s excellence in teaching, learning, leadership, and service, we seek to engage all black alumni deeply in the life of the University, and to strengthen our role as donors and volunteers in the Aspire campaign.

To accomplish this mission, Connect aims to expand the role of black alumni as volunteer leaders for Princeton and increase overall participation and giving by black alumni."
