So far, so good

On Tuesday I went back to Princeton to participate in a panel sponsored by the Princeton Varsity Club, Alumnicorps, Princeton-in-Asia, Princeton-in-Africa, and Princeton-in-Latin America, which was designed to get more varsity athletes interested in these public interest programs.

It was nice to be back on campus for the first time, and I realized as I fielded questions from the audience, that I've already learned and experienced so much since graduating just a few short months ago. My p55 experience has allowed me to learn about the nonprofit sector as a whole and about working as part of a mission-driven organization.

There's nothing like telling a room full of people about the benefits of doing an Alumnicorps fellowship to reaffirm your own appreciation for the position. Being forced to articulate aspects of my experience so far (such as "what has been the most rewarding", etc) provided me the chance to reflect.

My visit to Princeton was a short as this blog post. It wasn't even long enough to stop by the Bent Spoon! But it was definitely worth it.

ps- Every year the NYT does a pull-out section on issues relating to charity and philanthropy. Last week, I read through all of the articles in this year's section and typed up a brief snapshot of the coverage. Check it out on the Foundation Center's PhilanTopic blog if you're interested!
