On this special episode of Meet Princeton, the Office of Admission podcast for prospective students and their families, student correspondents from the Pace Center for Civic Engagement take us on a journey to explore service and civic engagement at #PrincetonU Christine Shin and Isabella Gomes, both members of #Princeton2025, connect with Ana Blanco, a senior from Miami, Florida, and Hannah Bein, a graduate with the Class of 2021 from Riverside, Connecticut.

What is one thing that Ana Blanco ’23 has learned through service and civic engagement? Patience. Hear how her experiences growing up in Miami, Florida, her interest in researching public health and gun violence, her passion for voting, and her connections between academics and service have helped her gain a greater appreciation for the process of service. Listen to the full episode via the #linkinbio.

For Hannah Bein, graduate of the Great Class of 2022, connection to community was an important part of service and civic engagement. Hear how her work with young people, teachers, and other community members in Trenton influenced her approach to Trenton Youth Singers with @trentonartsatprinceton. Listen to the full episode via the #linkinbio. Correction: Please note Hannah is an alum from the class of 2022, not 2021 as shown in the reel.
