Welcome to the ROAR

On Nov. 5, Princeton alumni from the 10 most recent graduation classes gathered on campus at Chancellor Green for the ROAR. Previously known as Annual Giving BootCamp, the ROAR stands for “Rally-Outreach-Ask-Repeat,” and is a fun-filled day for raising spirits, awareness and participation in Annual Giving.
