Forward and Beyond

Forward and Beyond

Venture Forward was a mission-driven campaign focused on deepening engagement of Princeton’s alumni community; providing a platform to communicate Princeton’s service to humanity and its vision for the future; and securing philanthropic support for the University’s strategic initiatives. The work continues as the University looks forward and beyond to make audacious bets on human potential, to pursue new avenues of inquiry and to stand up for Princeton’s abiding values.

“As I walk around Old Nassau’s beautiful campus and see what we have accomplished already, I am constantly reminded of how blessed Princeton is to have such faithful alumni and friends.”

President Christopher L. Eisgruber ’83
