Our Alumni

Alumni are a tremendously important part of the UPC experience; they’re our best source of information on the current state of journalism and provide great advice on how to move forward after Princeton. UPC 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.

Press Club’s Alumni Advisory Board meets with students to help define the Club’s strategic goals. Board members also take part in UPC’s mentorship program, which pairs each current student with one of our distinguished advisors.
