Throughout its distinguished history, Princeton has pursued a mission of academic excellence across a broad scope of human inquiry. This mission has been rigorously sustained by a faculty dedicated to both teaching and groundbreaking research, by a talented and diverse body of students preparing to lead and to serve, by an academic and residential environment that encourages vibrant interaction among members of the campus community, and by the essential generosity of alumni, parents and friends.
At a time when new technologies and ideas are creating unprecedented opportunities—as well as complex challenges—Princeton seeks to extend its leadership in higher education so that it may better serve our increasingly global society. Aspire: A Plan for Princeton encompasses six strategic areas where significant investment will advance this objective.
