a Project Coordinator for<br />
<strong>Princeton</strong>’s chapter of the<br />

Committee.<br />
My oldest brother, Zach<br />
Woolridge, graduated from<br />
<strong>Princeton</strong> in 2008. When I came<br />
to the school during the last<br />
weekend in April of my senior<br />
year, I was convinced within a<br />
day that <strong>Princeton</strong> was the place<br />
I wanted to be. The students<br />
were so driven and passionate<br />
across so many fi elds. And the<br />
opportunity to be a part of a<br />
strong Division I athletics program while studying at<br />
one of the best universities in the nation? I couldn’t<br />
have wished for a better undergraduate experience.<br />
The fact that <strong>Princeton</strong> students are competing<br />
and winning on a national and international scale<br />
(including the Olympics) is absolutely incredible. The<br />
high level of competition in a place that is known for<br />
being one of the most academically challenging schools<br />
in the nation is incredibly special. To me, “Education<br />

philanthropic and volunteer support that enables coaches to recruit, retain<br />
and develop some of the fi nest scholar-athletes in the world, and to provide<br />
