“ The devotion
Princeton inspires
in its students and
alumni speaks volumes
about how special it
is. I can’t imagine
going anywhere else.”
JAMES VALCOURT ’12
STERLING, MA
For Jim, humor offers the perfect
outlet to let off steam. As chair of Tiger
magazine, the nation’s second-oldest
college humor publication, he oversees
the content in the magazine’s print
and online versions as well as videos
produced for its website. A molecular
biology major earning a certificate
in quantitative and computational
biology, Jim is exploring one possible
mechanism of complex regulation
of cellular protein production for
this thesis. Jim is a co-recipient of
this year’s Pyne Prize and received
the Shapiro Prize for Academic
Excellence in 2009. In addition, he
serves as a leader trainer for Outdoor
Action, speakers chair for the Student
Bioethics Forum, a tour guide for
Orange Key, and a peer tutor and peer
academic advisor at Wilson College.
All gifts to Annual Giving are part
of Princeton’s five-year campaign.
