SENIOR YEAR 2022-

The beginning of the Class of 2023’s senior year featured excitement, chaos, and expansion on campus, as the University opened two new residential colleges (only a few weeks late), and demolished First College, formerly known as Wilson College, which many seniors called home at the beginning of their Princeton journey. The new, more modern buildings came as the University went into a post-pandemic construction frenzy, which made some seniors sentimental for the campus they fell in love with as first-years.

In big campus news, students welcomed the University’s announcement that it would divest from all publicly-funded fossil fuel companies and dissociate from most fossil fuel companies. This news came after years of student activ- ism – though a plurality of seniors believe that the University has not gone far enough with divestment.

It was a year of major athletic success. Princeton seniors struck gold with their timing as they were able to watch the Men’s Basketball Team, led by seniors Tosan Evbuomwan and Ryan Langborg, lit campus on fire by winning two March Madness games, advancing to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in school history.

The Class of 2023 prevailed through a college experience far different than what they expected and is set to celebrate their accomplishments at what is supposed to be one of the largest reunions in history. It’s hard to say what the future will bring, but the Class of 2023 can step through FitzRandolph Gate knowing they survived through some of the toughest months at Princeton and came out successfully on the other side.
