Julie Cerullo ’13 Captain • Women’s Squash Ralph DeNunzio ’53 PVC Board of Directors - Emeritus Member Cerullo is studying French and Italian Languages. A threetime All-Ivy and All-America performer on the squash courts, she is also a residential college peer advisor, a member of the Ivy Club and a student-athlete wellness leader. Student athlete wellness leaders are chosen by their teammates and are trained in leadership skills, equipped with campus resources and develop effective ways to improve their team and the larger Princeton community. Ralph DeNunzio ’53 (left) with Frank Sowinski ’78 DeNunzio is an Emeritus member of the Princeton Varsity Club Board of Directors, a former University Trustee, a past recipient of the PVC Distinguished Service Award and loyal benefactor to the University. While at Princeton, he was the voice of the Princeton Tigers as an announcer on WPRB radio. The culture of coaching and caring for athletes at Princeton is unparalleled. Academics and varsity sport commitments demand a lot, but the recognition of athletics by the university through caring coaches and connections with the administration and alumni is something I never expected. It’s hard to fi nd time for everything but interest groups and social affi liations go a long way towards making for a complete college experience. I knew I would give a lot of time to training and competing and I wanted a comfortable, manageable campus where all the action was centered so that I could use and enjoy all the I believe Princeton is one of the best at recognizing the need for balance in academics and athletics as part of an undergraduate education. This includes the recognition of the student-athlete as an individual and the contribution that each athlete makes to the University as well as the team on which he or she plays. By giving back and supporting Princeton Athletics, this concept is continually enhanced and reinforced. The fact that Princeton has 38 men’s and women’s teams competing in interscholastic competitions is, in itself, amazing. Witness the outstanding participation, and the number of medals won, by Princeton students in this year’s Olympics. The Princeton Varsity Club provides several venues for programming and events to enhance the athlete’s experience. Together with the Athletics Friends Groups, the PVC supports all the teams and provides a link was played on Finney Field in the 1970s, Palmer Stadium in the early 1990s, or 1952 Stadium in the modern era, each team had its stars, its role players, its hustlers, its leaders. The bonds are strong, and how we carry ourselves forward is what continues to defi ne Princeton and Princeton Athletics. Support can come in many ways, it does not have to be merely fi nancial. We are pulled in many directions and we face challenges annually. However, I believe strongly that the lessons learned in our respective athletic experiences: the laughs shared in the locker room; the leadership opportunities; and the challenges, for most of us, have played as much of a role in shaping who we are as any other component of our lives, with the exception of family. By volunteering, I strive to ensure that each team has the opportunity to have an experience that is as rewarding and positive as mine was during my time at Princeton. playing to win. I would like to invite every alum to visit Bedford Field, the new home of Tiger fi eld hockey, and cheer for your Tigers. My favorite Princeton Athletics moment was my freshman year when many were still getting used to the idea of Princeton having women’s athletic teams. It was Yale weekend and at half-time our football team was behind and every score they announced from other sports were Yale victories, fi eld hockey was the one exception. We had beaten Yale soundly and when the score was announced the entire stadium erupted in applause. At that point I knew that women’s athletics would fi nd a home at Princeton. There is a tremendous opportunity for our students to learn life lessons and develop skills through participation in athletics. With strong coaches and amazing teammates, Princeton Athletics gives our students an opportunity to strive for excellence, build leadership skills and make lifelong friends. Mr. Edward E.

Jon Hess ’98 Friends of Princeton Lacrosse President Sue Perles ’75 Friends of Princeton Field Hockey President Sue Perles ’75 (second from left) at Field Hockey’s 40th Anniversary Celebration Perles is the President of the Friends of Princeton Field Hockey, a former University Trustee and a member of the Princeton Varsity Club Advisory Committee. While at Princeton, she was a letterwinner on the fi rst four varsity fi eld hockey teams, serving as co-captain during the 1973 season. After earning an MBA from Harvard, she earned her doctorate at Oxford, where she became Princeton’s fi rst female Rhodes Scholar. I give back and volunteer to the Friends of Lacrosse because I feel it is the most direct way I can honor my incredible experience as a member of the Princeton men’s lacrosse team. It seems most would agree it is Princeton’s people that make it unique and defi ne our experiences. With that said, the ability to meet new Princetonians, especially those who share the bond of competing towards the same goals while on campus, can be powerful for those who wish to continue to grow from Princeton University’s offerings. I am constantly surprised at how similar the bonds are among teammates, despite the evolution of our game, our resources, and our facilities. Whether lacrosse Jon Hess ’98 (far left) at the Friends of Princeton Lacrosse Fall Celebration Hess, the Friends of Princeton Lacrosse President, won three NCAA National Championships at Princeton. The William Winston Roper Trophy winner was a two-time fi rst-team All- America and holds the program records for points and assists in a season. In 1997, Hess earned recognition as the outstanding attackman in Division I, the Division I Championship MVP and the Ivy League Player of the Year. Meeting and reconnecting with alums, parents and friends is one of my favorite aspects of being president of the Friends of Field Hockey. Equally as enjoyable is helping our undergraduates to understand the tradition that is Princeton Field Hockey and their contribution to our program and to the future of Tiger fi eld hockey. During my fi rst year as Friends President, the Tigers played their way to the NCAA Final Four [2009]. I fl ew to North Carolina to cheer for our Tigers and was so proud to see our team take the fi eld in an NCAA fi nal four game. This season our Tigers are off to a strong start. With three London Olympians and an additional national team player returning, Princeton fi eld hockey is highly ranked and resources the school had to offer. Like many of Princeton’s sports teams, women’s squash at Princeton has always had a reputation for being the most collegial, caring team in the sport as well as being fi ercely competitive. My teammates are some of my best friends. To me, “Education Through Athletics” means many things: time management, teamwork – in my case, playing an individual sport on a team for the fi rst time – learning negotiating skills and still dealing with measures of success through scoreboard wins and losses. My favorite memory as part of the Princeton Athletics community was when the men’s squash team won the national championships by beating Trinity last year at Jadwin. It was a grueling day, but the moment they won was a moment I’ll never forget. The crowd was like nothing I had ever seen before and the whole community came together to celebrate. between student-athletes and alumni. “Education Through Athletics” will have different meanings for everyone. For me, it means the carryover from athletics to everyday living and working. Athletics requires, among other things, teamwork, unselfi shness, hard work, dedication, commitment, good sportsmanship, never giving up, and incredible focus. All of these characteristics become part of you and make up who you are as a person. That is what hopefully will carry over to everyday life, long after competition on the playing fi eld is over. It’s hard for me to have just one favorite memory of athletics. On the one hand, it would have to be the design and development of DeNunzio Pool which was dedicated in 1990. In addition, the building of Princeton Stadium will always be special for me, as Dick Kazmaier ’52 and I were asked to help with the fundraising for the new facility. To have seen it completed and dedicated in September of 1998 will always be an unbelievable highlight.
