Resources & Centers
AccessAbility Center
The AccessAbility Center is a new student gathering space on campus designed for universal access and intended to foster conversation about ability, access and difference. The mission of the AccessAbility Center is to provide opportunities for students to actively explore differing abilities, envision disability as part of diversity, and understand how difference can enrich the educational experience and lives of those in our campus community.
Carl A. Fields Center for Equality + Cultural Understanding
At the Fields Center, diverse perspectives and experiences of race, class, gender and their intersections are supported and challenged, questioned and answered. These values are cultivated through the celebration of heritage months, dialogues and discussions, the Princeton University Mentoring Program and the Carl Fields Fellows peer educator program.
Center for Jewish Life (Princeton Hillel)
The Center for Jewish Life embraces all Jewish students, amplifying connections to Jewish meaning, experience and community. The Center aspires to provide insights and pathways to help Princeton Jewish students live their lives as a sacred gift. They hope to help every student find their own voice within the larger narrative of the Jewish people — on their own terms — at their own level, but in ways that are deeply connected to the wisdom of our ancient tradition and linked to the opportunities and challenges of today’s complex world.
The Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity
The Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity advances Princeton's commitment to an inclusive student body. Its programs are designed to provide all students, including those from first-generation, low-income and underrepresented backgrounds, with the mentorship, academic enrichment and community that they need to thrive at Princeton.
The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center
The Gender + Sexuality Resource Center aims to facilitate conversations on gender and sexuality and provide training, education and resources for the Princeton community at large with a primary focus on the student experience. Those at the center work to create a more inclusive campus for transgender, women, two-spirit, femme, lesbian, gay, bisexual, queer, intersex, asexual, pansexual and the vast expanses of the a/sexual, a/gender and a/romantic communities of Princeton.
