Five U. students awarded Liman fellowship

By Hannah Wang Contributor

The Princeton University Program in Law and Public Affairs (LAPA) has named Miranda Bolef ’19, Ramzie Fathy ’20, Micah Herskind ’19, Benjamin Laufer ’19, and Rebekah Ninan ’19 as 2018 Arthur Liman Fellows in Public Interest Law. The fellowship provides students with stipends for eight to ten-week-long summer internships involving public interest law-related work, with the goal of serving underrepresented populations and causes.

The program is named after Arthur J. Liman, a lawyer who was renowned throughout his career for his dedication to the public interest. According to the program’s website, up to five undergraduate fellows are selected each year based on their “demonstrated merit and…commitment to public service” through past and current activities.

Bolef is a concentrator in comparative politics, a co-president of Students for Prison Education and Reform, and a former investigator at the D.C. Public Defender Service. She hopes to use her fellowship to “better understand the legal structures which undergird America’s vast political and economic inequalities in order to build systems which defend true

justice and dignity for all people.”

“I applied for a Liman Fellowship because I believe that public interest law is a crucial way to protect the rights and interests of groups without the funds or organizational capacity to otherwise secure legal representation, and I believe that protection of everyone’s rights is a fundamental obligation in a democracy,” Bolef wrote in an email.

This summer, Bolef plans to work for either an impact litigation firm focusing on criminal justice reform or for a progressive District Attorney’s office. After graduation, she hopes to attend law school and work towards creating more just political and economic institutions, especially the criminal justice system.

Fathy is concentrating in the Wilson School. As a co-founder of the Princeton Advocates for Justice and a former recipient of the Guggenheim Fellowship in Criminal Justice, he aims to use the Liman Fellowship to further his work in public defense for immigrants and refugees by guiding them through the legal documentation necessary for applications for asylum.

“As a Liman fellow, I would be able to work with and learn from the key leaders of the social justice movement who can teach me how to further advocate for issues See LIMAN page 2

Political analyst Dionne Jr. talks voter engagement

By Isabel Ting Assistant News Editor

Political analyst E.J. Dionne Jr. spoke about the American electorate under Trump’s presidency on Monday, discussing key points from the book he co-authored, “One Nation After Trump: A Guide for the Perplexed, the Disillusioned, the Desperate, and the Not-Yet-Deported.”

Dionne began by answering his own rhetorical question: “How did we get here?”

LOCAL NEWS

He explained that for the past 30 to 40 years, Americans have developed a “contempt for government” and the electorate has “turned the word ‘politician’ into an epithet.”

“When it comes to government, there’s a popular assumption that those who spend their lives mastering the arts of administration and policymaking must be up to no good,” Dionne said.

According to Dionne, in the post-election debate, Democrats, progressives,

and liberals often mistakenly argued that America faced a choice between two strategies: to forget about identity politics, which concerns minority groups such as the Latinx and LGBTQ+ communities, or to forget about the white working class. Dionne said he rejects both strategies.

Milk & Cookies delivery service opens store on Chambers Street

By Ivy Truong Assistant News Editor

University students no longer have to wait for their cookies from Milk & Cookies to be delivered. They can now get their sugar fix from the company’s store, which opened on Feb. 27.

“It’s been mind-boggling.

People keep coming in and buying cookies,” owner Lauren Ariev Gellman said.

Milk & Cookies opened up their new storefront at 14 Chambers St. Before then, they were delivery only, operating between 8 a.m. and 2 a.m. from Tuesday to Sunday. The current

shop is also open every day except Monday, with varying hours.

Gellman has planned to open up a brick-and-mortar shop ever since she began her delivery service in 2016. The service is popular among students at the University. Student groups often utilize the Milk & Cookies catering service for study breaks. But Gellman noted that being deliveryonly was never the final goal for Milk & Cookies.

“We’ve been trying to get here,” she said. “It just took a little while.”

The store sells 14 types of cookies, including the traditional chocolate chip cookie, and have introduced a unique “London Foggy” cookie, which is f lavored with Earl Grey tea, according to Gellman. Milk & Cookies also sells beverages.

Gellman said that the reaction to the store has been all-around positive, with many customers praising her decision to open a store in addition to the delivery service. The building has had a sign on its window See COOKIES page 3

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science included four papers from the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory in a collection of its most influential scientific papers of the past 40 years. The collection, entitled “40 Years of Research Milestones,” celebrates the fortieth anniversary of the DOE’s Office of Science.

The Office of Science described itself in an official statement as “the nation’s largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences and the home of groundbreaking work in the biological and earth sciences.”

“For 40 years, the Department of Energy Office of Science has been supporting basic research to tackle big questions,” James Van Dam, associate director of the Office of Fusion Energy Sciences, said.

The DOE’s Office of Science manages PPPL, a research institution focused on the physics of plasmas and fusion energy. PPPL is located on the University’s Forrestal Campus.

Of the forty papers in “40 Years of Research Milestones,” two are PPPL studies. One is from research conducted at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility, which collaborates with PPPL, and one is authored by Dr. Nat Fisch, professor of

astrophysical sciences at the University and associate director for academic affairs at PPPL. In 1978, Dr. Fisch drew on his doctoral dissertation to suggest the usage of radio frequency waves in order to maintain the electrical current that creates helical magnetic fields in plasma-storing tokamaks.

Then, in 1989, the Princeton Beta Experiment at PPPL showed how to measure that same helical magnetic field by interpreting the photons emitted by atoms injected into the plasma.

In 1990, physicists at the DIII-D National Fusion Facility discovered how to shear the flow of plasma in order to reduce turbulence and facilitate fusion.

Finally, in 1994, PPPL used a mix of deuterium and tritium, two isotopes of hydrogen, to produce record amounts of fusion power.

According to Van Dam, the papers were selected for their impact on science in general and are representative of the “world-class research supported by DOE.” In a press release, Dr. Michael Zarnstorff, deputy director of research at the PPPL, stated that the PPPL papers illustrate the progress made in fusion energy and plasma physics study in the DOE program.

that I’ve become really passionate about like immigration and criminal justice reform,” Fathy, who is currently studying abroad in Milan at Bocconi University, wrote in an email.

In the future, Fathy hopes to attend law school and eventually work as a judge.

Herskind, concentrating in the African-American Studies department with a focus on race and public policy, is co-president of Students for Prison Education and Reform and used his Guggenheim fellowship to work with the Correctional Association of New York. As a Liman Fellow, he will be interning with the Poverty and Race Research Action Council in Washington, D.C. “I’ve always been interested in law, particularly the criminal justice system,” Herskind said.

“I think going into public interest law can be a really important way of learning about the system more intimately, and by doing that learn how to dismantle the system.”

Laufer is an Operations Research and Financial Engineering concentrator whose interests lie in developing quantitative methods to inform public policy. He is the undergraduate president of the Petey Greene Program, a research assistant at the Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory, and a

former data science researcher for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. He seeks to address urban, environmental, and social justice challenges through the Liman Fellowship.

“I’ve always been interested in public interest work and policy,” Laufer said. “Generally, I’m interested in extending my more quantitative background to issues of social justice.”

Ninan is concentrating in politics with a focus on international relations. She is a former president of the American Whig Cliosophic Society and a former intern for the State Department’s Pakistan desk. She plans to use the Liman Fellowship to gain experience and exposure to human rights law.

Ninan explained that her two previous internships — one at a small legal nonprofit and one with the State Department — sparked her interest in law as a tool of public service.

“In both of those environments, I was always really fascinated by the variety of legal questions at play, and how the legal questions intersected with policy work and advocacy work,” Ninan said.

Ninan’s legal interests include human rights and immigrant and refugee issues, and she plans to attend law school in the future.

“I’ve always had a heart for justice, so I think the law is the best way to interpret what it means to live in a just world and actually execute that,” she said.

race,” said Dionne. “We need politics that do not cast one group’s pain against another group’s pain.”

It should not have taken Trump’s election to remind the electorate that there are some Americans who have not shared in the national growth in wealth, Dionne added. He referenced Martin Luther King Jr.’s belief in the “conversion of adversaries,” meaning that racial and economic justice go hand in hand. Dionne explained that King was killed in Memphis fighting for striking sanitation workers and that the slogan for the March on Washington in 1963 was “jobs and justice.”

Dionne asked the audience to state the first word of the Constitution. A booming, collective voice echoed the word “we” throughout the auditorium.

“I think we need a politics rooted in a commitment to equality — equality of opportunity and of treatment — [so] that way it is a politics committed to fairness,” said Dionne. “We need to reclaim our right and duty to say ‘we’ again.”

A politics committed to equality is developed through empathy and the celebration of cosmopolitanism, Dionne added.

He emphasized that empathy should not be misinterpreted as pity or sympathy, but rather the “mutual obligation to understand situations that others find themselves in and the complexities of their thoughts and feelings.”

Dionne stressed the importance of empathy multiple times and shared that he has highlighted the same theme at previous events.

In a 2016 event at St. Louis, Michigan, Dionne half-jokingly blurted out his idea for a “Make America Empathetic Again” hat. Three weeks later, a perfect replica of the Trump

MAGA hat arrived in Dionne’s mailbox, inscribed with the slogan he had proposed.

Regarding cosmopolitanism, he referenced two ideas from former University philosophy professor Kwame Anthony Appiah. The first is the idea that individuals have obligations to others that are greater than just sharing citizenship. The second is that individuals should never take for granted the value of life but rather seek to become informed of the practices and beliefs of others.

Dionne celebrated the diversity of the American electorate in his talk.

“Until recently, we have always ended up telling ourselves that we are better off as a country of many different peoples,” he said.

Dionne also spoke about “new democracy,” the topic for the fourth chapter in his book. He acknowledged that compulsory attendance at voting poll stations, with a small fine as a punishment, is one of the most controversial ideas in the book. Nevertheless, he justified his stance by arguing that voting is “as much of a [civic] duty as is serving on the jury,” and that the obligation of elected officials should be “to allow people to perform their civic duties and take part in politics,” not to prevent individuals from voting.

Although he expressed plenty of criticisms of the electorate, Dionne also complimented the “extremely promising” nature of the younger generation, saying that they are “among the most tolerant, most progressive of our electorate.” He believes the younger generation will change the country because they will fulfill their civic duties.

“It is our job to protect our rights, to protect our democracy,” said Dionne, “because we are Americans.”

“People have been coming in and going, ‘You’re finally open! That’s wonderful,’” Gellman said.

Before opening Milk & Cookies, Gellman often baked as a pastime with her three daughters. After

two of her daughters left the house, she wanted to continue baking cookies.

“I wanted to keep baking, but I didn’t want to eat them all,” said Gellman, “so I decided I should find another way of doing it.”

Chinenye Azoba ’18 has ordered from Milk & Cookies before and is generally positive about the business’s new storefront.

“Although I think it’s cool to have a new store, I’m afraid that deliveries

will slow down as a result, which might be a little inconvenient when I need an easy, last-minute study break,” Azoba said.

Despite the worry, delivery hours are the same as before the opening of the new store. The store itself is open on Sunday, Tuesday, and Wednesday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Thursday, Friday, and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

A note on change

Anika Yardi

contributing columnist

H

ow do you speak up when you are not sure your voice will be heard? If you are looking for inspiration, take cues from the students of Stoneman Douglas, who are taking what will likely be the single most traumatic incident of their lives and refusing to be quiet about it — organizing rallies, giving interviews, and forcing everyone to talk about something that is as old as our nation itself, and frankly, overdue for a change: our gun laws.

When I first heard news of the shooting, I knew how the next few weeks would go.

America would mourn for the children struck down, young and vibrant and full of life. We would send our thoughts and prayers. There would be a Twitter hashtag for the victims and the community. There would be 24hour coverage of the incident, and thorough research into the background of the sick perpetrator of these crimes. The debate about gun violence would be resurrected. The same people would say the same things.

And, ultimately, nothing would happen.

But the Parkland survivors have changed that.

They are refusing to accept thoughts and prayers. They are demanding change at a higher level, getting their message out everywhere.

And they are refusing to be silent, even as alt-right trolls try to devalue their messages, calling them “crisis actors,” and are refusing to believe that teenagers could have sensible ideas about politics in this country.

It is not an easy journey.

They are up against a systemic national gun culture that is ancient and seemingly unmovable. Even as they rally and cry out with the purest wish of preventing tragedy like they underwent, they have experienced as many people who wish for them to stop as those who wish to spur them along.

As the students cried from the balcony at the Tallahassee state capitol, lawmakers voted down the motion to even debate gun control. Senator Marco Rubio and a spokesperson for the National Rif le Association at the town hall for the survivors had the audacity to run circles around questions the students asked, refusing to deliver straight answers, including one on whether or not they supported bump stocks to make semi-automatic weapons fully automatic.

What is the value of a child in this country? Children are touted as the future, as the reason we build and innovate, as the people we are trying to create a better world for. But it has become increasingly evident that the United States doesn’t truly value its children. If the United States valued about its children, assault weapons would be banned. If the United States valued about its children, politicians would not accept donations from the NRA. If the United States valued about its children, mandatory background checks would be in place. If the United States truly valued its children, a teenager who is unable to legally drink alcohol would not be able to buy a gun.

Those who disagree make false equivalences, compar-

ing gun laws to prohibition.

In a town hall with the students of Stoneman Douglas, Rubio argued that the banning of guns will not deter people who actually want to buy them. To this I say: a politician who does not believe in the power of law is hypocrisy of the highest degree, and that people who tout this idea always seem to forget it when they push for laws banning abortion, or controversial topics that they personally believe in. People also say that if the “good guys” had guns, this wouldn’t have happened. In reality, there is no way to really know for sure whether having a gun in a stressful situation will prevent deaths or just cause more casualties. Shootings are messy and chaotic, and there is no guarantee on outcome, and it is not worth taking a chance to add more guns to a situation which should have zero weapons in the first place. It is common sense that fewer guns will lead to fewer gun deaths. And if we cannot accept this, positing that gun deaths will continue to happen no matter what, we are all responsible for the next mass shooting. We are all complicit.

This ineptitude of our elected officials and leaders inspires a particular sense of hopelessness. Gun violence in the United States has reached dizzying, almost unfathomable numbers. On an average day, 96 Americans are killed by guns. The fact that nothing has been done is disheartening and can lead to disillusion with our political system.

But look around you and realize that the world is a far better place than you

think. Think about those that rushed to donate blood after Las Vegas. Think about the inf lux of donations to help those wounded and lost after Orlando. Remember the efforts of the Stoneman Douglas students, fighting even as I write this.

You too have a bigger role to play than you may think.

Remember what you have felt every single time you have woken up to news that a school, a church, a public space has been shot up. It becomes a fuel for your actions and a catalyst for the change that needs to sweep over this country. Write letters to your senator. Join a campaign for a politician that you support for the 2018 midterm elections. Donate blood to the Red Cross for survivors and those in need. Go to the We Call BS: Princeton Rally for Gun Reform being held on campus on March 14. Most importantly, don’t stop talking about the things that matter to you. Keep yourself informed about the issues of today. Let knowledge be your shield and sword in the fight to change this country. And slowly, things will change.

Change is not a faucet, nor is it a f lood that levels cities in a single instance. It’s a steady drip that over time can erode even the strongest of institutions.

Sometimes it feels as though our voices are just a shout into the void. But the minute that we stop shouting is the minute that we relinquish any hope of being heard.

It’s time to end the gun insanity Aaron Tobert

guest contributor

I

couldn’t believe the news when I heard it. Another school shooting — really? After Columbine, Virginia Tech, and Sandy Hook, how was this still happening? Even the President seemed personally shaken by this one.

This may sound like Parkland, but it was in fact the shooting at Umpqua Community College in Oregon almost two and a half years ago. Barack Obama was the president, who after years of responding to mass shootings, fulminated against donothing members of Congress: “Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. It’s not enough. It does not capture the heartache and grief and anger that we should feel. And it does nothing to prevent this carnage from being inf licted someplace else in America.”

It is easy to look at the parallels between Umpqua and Parkland and fret that nothing has changed. But this would actually be too sanguine. The two deadliest mass shootings on record — Las Vegas and Orlando — have occurred since

Umpqua. Members of Congress who supported gun safety have been voted out.

Even now, more states are expanding gun rights than restricting them. In short, things have changed — for the worse.

It’s time to end the insanity. As President Obama said, thoughts and prayers will not stop shootings. We need common-sense gun reforms.

First, Congress should pass universal background checks. Currently, unlicensed gun sellers, such as those at gun shows, do not have to perform background checks on prospective buyers. This loophole allows dangerous people to get guns.

Second, Congress should ban military-style assault weapons like the AR-15.

These weapons cause incomparable damage to their victims and have no place in civilian life. The assault weapons ban should also include a ban on high-capacity magazines, limiting the amount of damage a shooter can cause in a single incident.

Finally, Congress should enable the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study gun violence as a public health issue. A pol-

icy adopted in 1996 called the Dickey Amendment essentially bars the CDC from conducting gun-violence research. It also limits the data the CDC can collect on gun violence, making outside research more difficult.

No lawmaker can credibly claim to care about the victims while supporting such a policy.

Do we know these reforms will reduce gun deaths? The evidence for universal background checks is compelling.

From 1995 to 2005, Connecticut’s universal background check law was associated with a 40 percent decrease in Connecticut’s firearm homicide rate. In contrast, the repeal of Missouri’s universal background check law in 2007 was associated with a 14 percent increase in Missouri’s murder rate.

The evidence for banning assault weapons is less concrete. There were fewer mass shooting deaths following the 1994 assault weapons ban, but it is not clear the ban directly caused the reduction. This point is true of gun research more broadly, which overwhelmingly finds gun restrictions are correlated with fewer gun deaths without proving restrictions cause fewer deaths.

But “correlation is not causation” is not an excuse for inaction. Empirical research (or lack thereof) is not a substitute for reason. Banning assault weapons and highcapacity magazines does not guarantee fewer mass shootings, but not banning them almost certainly guarantees more.

Most Americans understand this. Several recent polls find majority support for banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and 97 percent of Americans favor universal background checks.

Ultimately, universal background checks, a ban on assault weapons, and more research are the first steps, not the only steps. These policies do not address gun suicides, which account for two-thirds of gun deaths.

They do not address the alarming frequency with which toddlers accidentally shoot each other. And they do not address the systemic racism that makes black children ten times more likely to be gun victims than white children.

But we have to start somewhere. Today, Princeton reels from the news about school shootings. Tomorrow, it could be the school in

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Publishing the Honor System Review Committee’s Charge

D

ear Students,

We write to provide an update on the process by which we are reviewing the recent referenda regarding the Honor Constitution. As explained in a letter Vice President for Campus Life W. Rochelle Calhoun, Dean of the College Jill Dolan, and Dean of the Faculty Sanjeev Kulkarni sent to students on Jan. 4, three of the four proposed amendments were remanded for consideration by the faculty Committee on Examinations and Standing, whose responsibilities include “the administration

of all regulations which concern the program of study and the scholastic standing of undergraduates.”

To determine whether to put the amendments recommended by the referenda to a faculty vote, the Committee on Examinations and Standing will review the findings of the Honor System Review Committee.

This student-faculty committee, co-chaired by professor Clarence Rowley ’95 and by Carolyn Liziewski ’18, was appointed in November 2017 to review the Honor System in its entirety. The HSRC’s charge was expanded

in January 2018 to include consideration of the amendments recommended by the referenda.

We share below the HSRC’s charge. The committee will engage in a comprehensive review of the Honor System during the spring 2018 semester. The HSRC began weekly 90-minute meetings during the reading period in January, and it will continue to meet until May. The HSRC’s work will culminate in a report to the Committee on Examinations and Standing to recommend revisions to the Honor System and its constitution.

Men’s hockey decidedly defeats Brown, advances to ECAC quarterfinals

By Chris Murphy

head sports editor

Heading into the weekend, the Princeton Tigers were favored in their first-round matchup against the Brown Bears. It took only two days for the Tigers to confirm that prediction, thoroughly dominating the road team and making it look easy.

What is perhaps the scariest for the other Eastern College Athletic Conference teams is head coach Ron Fogarty’s assertion: “I think our team can play better.”

In a best of three series against the 10th place team in the ECAC, the No. 7 Tigers needed only two games to vanquish Brown and cruise into the ECAC quarterfinals. The Orange and Black outscored their opponent 15–3 over the two game set and avenged an early season 3–0 home loss to the Bears. Brown came into the game with the worst offense and third worst defense in the ECAC; the Tigers were able to exploit both in their back-to-back wins, taking comfortable leads and putting the games out of reach well before the final horn sounded in either game.

The series opened Friday night, and by the end of the game the Tigers had made both individual O N TA P

and team history. As a team, they posted the highest offensive output in school playoff history, besting the six-goal effort set by the 1999 Tiger team. Junior left winger Ryan Kuffner hit a career milestone with his 100th career point as a Tiger; he added two goals and two assists to the Tiger onslaught, including a redirect goal early in the first period to put the Tigers up 2–0. Brown was able to respond, however, and tied the game at two early in the second with a power play goal. The Tigers — fourth in the nation on the power play — made sure that the game would tilt back in their favor. The power play unit turned in one of its best performances of the year with a fourgoal night on Friday as Princeton rattled off six unanswered goals to take game one.

In game two, the Tigers and Bears played a tightly contested defensive battle for the first period; it wasn’t until the final minute of the period that Princeton broke the tie, with sophomore Jackson Cressey taking the feed from freshman Reid Yochim and finding the back of the net. Heading into the second period, two Tigers would make history on the next goal; Kuffner would score his 28th goal, tying the single season

record set by NHL player and Tiger alum Jeff Halpern ’99. On the same goal, Kuffner’s linemate — junior Max Véronneau — tallied an assist for his 100th career point. The duo have been complementing each other for the past three seasons — six if you count years not at Princeton — and they got the thrill of reaching career milestones at nearly the exact same time. Commenting on the feat, Fogarty noted, “It’s pretty special…. They feed off each other really well. They’ve had the luxury of playing together for a long time, in junior hockey and now in college, so they know each

other’s tendencies.”

Up 2–0 early in the second, the Tigers smelled blood and went in for the gut punch by dominating the second half. Owning nearly 70 percent of the puck possession during the period, Princeton added to its 2–0 lead with three more goals and iced the game before it even had a chance to get into the third period. The Bears’ final nail in the coffin came in the last minute of play in period two: Junior Alex Riche became the third and final member of the all-junior line of Kuffner, Véronneau, and Riche to add a goal in the game after fi-

“They’ve been a catalyst in turning the program around,“ explained Fogarty about the senior class. “For two years they learned the systems and grinded [sic] through a lot of one-goal losses and stuck with it and stayed positive, so it was great to see them be rewarded there at the end.”

With no game on Sunday, March 4, the Tigers had to wait and see who their opponent would be in the ECAC Quarterfinals. After Dartmouth and Colgate took care of business in their game three matchups, Princeton is slated to play Union this weekend in upstate New York. The Tigers will be looking to exorcise some demons against the Dutchmen, who not only swept the season series against the Tigers this year, but ended the Tigers’ season last year in the ECAC Quarterfinals with a one-goal overtime win. However, after watching these games, perhaps the Dutchmen are feeling just a bit more nervous about the impending series.

On tap with Caroline Park ’11:

Making history with the Korean Olympic team

By Samantha Shapiro and Molly Milligan staff writers

From the Ivy League to the Olympic stage, Caroline Park ’11 has continued to play hockey at an elite level. Following her career as a Tiger, Park hoped to continue playing hockey, and she earned a spot on the combined Korean National Team. The Daily Princetonian caught up with Park following the Olympics to learn more about her experience.

The Daily Princetonian: How did you initially get involved in hockey?

Caroline Park: I started playing ice hockey because of my older brother Michael. My parents initially tried to keep me away from ice hockey because they were worried I would get injured. My mother hoped

I would pursue piano, so whenever the piano teacher came to my house for lessons, I pretended to be sick and locked myself in the bathroom. Once the piano teacher left, I would go outside and play road hockey with my brother. Once my parents caught on to what I was doing, they gave in and signed me up for ice hockey.

DP: What were the highlights of your time playing for Princeton? What did your collegiate hockey experience teach you?

CP: I’ve always appreciated the friendships I cultivated through playing hockey at Princeton. These are the friendships that will last a lifetime and are so special — few outside of hockey would understand the pains of morning lifts, shuttle runs, beep tests, etc. My collegiate hockey

experience taught me about time management. It was difficult adjusting to life as a student-athlete. However, it was an invaluable learning experience that prepared me for training for the Olympics while in medical school.

DP: Were the Olympics always an aspiration of yours? Had you dreamed of competing on world stage, or did it come more as a sudden opportunity?

CP: I feel like every child who grows up playing ice hockey in Canada dreams of competing at the Olympics.

I watched it every four years with my family and was always in admiration and awe of the athletes. Obviously, I didn’t think I would end up competing for a Unified Korea. However, I think that has made everything infinitely more memorable on

Before taking center stage at the Olympics, Park was a key player of the 2008-2011 women’s hockey team at Princeton.

top of an event that is already incredibly special to begin with.

DP: What was the biggest reason you decided to accept the Korean coaches’ offer and take time off from medical school to pursue hockey?

CP: I love ice hockey. Even after playing four years of collegiate hockey at Princeton, I still had a desire to compete and play ice hockey at a competitive level.

So when the opportunity to play at the international level presented itself, I did not hesitate for a second.

I knew there could always be a way to work around things, even something as intense as medical school.

You only live life once, so I figured, why not try to pursue all of my passions?

DP: What does it mean to you to be competing in the Olympics? What has been your best memory from the Games so far?

CP: It’s a dream come true and such an honor to be competing for the host country. My best memory of the Games so far would be walking in the Opening Ceremonies. The roar of the crowd as we entered the stadium was incredible.

I doubt there will be many things in my life that could top that moment.

DP: What does it mean to you to be a part of this historic moment of unification between North and South Korea?

CP: It is a privilege and something I will look back on with pride and fond memories. It truly is a his-

toric moment in Olympic/ sports history, and it’s a reminder of how sports can transcend cultural barriers.

We’ll have to wait and see if it will have any lasting implications, but being a part of a team that symbolized peace and unity was very special.

DP: What do you value most about this experience? What has been a lesson learned from training for the Olympics and playing with teammates from a variety of backgrounds?

CP: One of my favorite aspects of this experience is meeting and getting to know our 12 North Korean teammates. Although we may have different cultural backgrounds, they were not much different from us. Our team became incredibly close by the end of the Olympics, and it’s these bonds I value most from this experience. I feel incredibly fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know these amazing women who very few would ever get the chance to meet.

DP: What are your plans for after the Olympics?

CP: I’m planning to take some time off to rest and recover after the Olympics, but I’ll return to and finish medical school!

DP: Is there any advice you might want to offer current Princeton students?

CP: Never give up on your dreams! Life is too short to not pursue whatever you’re passionate about, so go after your dreams relentlessly and fearlessly.
