When Daryl English ’72 transferred to Princeton for her junior year, becoming one of just 63 women in her graduating class, she became a trailblazer at a University in transition. While Princeton immediately felt like home for Daryl, her two years on campus flew by too quickly. She cherished new friends but wished for a broader connection with the pioneering women in her class. 

As a Princeton alumna, Daryl enjoyed returning for major Reunions and served for many years as an ambassador for the Alumni Schools Committee. But it was in 2007, when she was invited to take a leadership role in her class to boost engagement with fellow women classmates, that her Tiger spirit began to roar. She has since found myriad creative ways to use her passion for storytelling and relationships in service to her class. 

In 2009, she and her life partner, Barclay Foord, scaled Colorado’s Mount Princeton alongside 32 classmates and a dozen friends and family members. On this first of many class trips that Daryl would take, she and some classmates hatched a plan to hike with incoming first-year students through Outdoor Action (OA). Over the next decade, she encouraged others in her class to hike with OA too, helping new Tigers see how Princeton provides a lifelong alumni community. 

On another trip in 2013 to Richmond, Virginia, she met with the Class of 1972 Annual Giving class agent and offered to call classmates, including women she didn’t know, to encourage participation in AG. In what she calls “a labor of love,” she annually calls more than 40 classmates on behalf of Annual Giving, making time for extended conversations, intent on building relationships and helping to boost her class’s campaign totals. 

For the class’s 45th Reunion, Daryl helped organize an outdoor brunch for the women in her class. When a cold rain drove the attendees into a cozy indoor space, they began sharing details of their lives. As the clouds cleared and the P-rade began, they marched together for the first time behind a new banner proclaiming “Women of ’72” and reveled in a newfound camaraderie. 

Inspired, Daryl saw an opportunity for greater connection. She reached out to all the women in her class, asking them to share short profiles for a women’s page on the class website, which she soon cultivated into a thriving section. Writing and editing, Daryl has helped the women of ’72 share their stories on a variety of topics, including, most recently, retirement experiences. Her regular e-blasts have steadily increased the class’s alumnae engagement. 

Thanks to Daryl’s efforts, the women of ’72’s remembrances of their time at Princeton, penned for their 50th Reunion book, were formally accepted into the class records in the University’s digital archives, giving their voices a permanent place in Princeton’s history. 

Daryl, your joy in building community has made the great Class of ’72 even greater, as you’ve amplified the voices of its women. With our gratitude for creating meaningful new Tiger ties among classmates, we present you with this Award for Service to Princeton.

When Yung Bong Lim ’87 took on a leadership role for the Princeton Club of Chicago, he signed up to receive emails from every one of the Alumni Association’s 150-plus regional groups, hoping to share ideas. The gesture speaks volumes about Yung’s commitment to service and willingness to roll up his sleeves. 

Yung was born in South Korea and grew up in the Philippines but quickly adjusted to Princeton. After graduation, he worked in finance in New York, serving as an ambassador to Princeton through the Alumni Schools Committee. After he moved to Chicago, he founded a real estate investment firm in 2008. As Yung’s faith journey developed, he supported organizations that aligned with his values, including David Miller’s Faith & Work Initiative at Princeton and the Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS) program. 

Around 2016, as Yung’s career began to allow time for more volunteer activities, he joined the PICS board. In 2020, he was named vice chair and began seeking alumni mentors and opportunities at nonprofits for student internships. Yung has mentored 18 PICS students, several of whom now serve on the board too. As vice chair of the Faith & Work Initiative’s advisory board, he enjoys interacting with students in Miller’s popular ethics course. 

Yung is a steadfast supporter of Annual Giving, with a perfect record of giving. He has dedicated countless hours as an AG volunteer, including several years on both the Annual Giving Committee and the Parents Fund. 

After Yung joined the board of the Princeton Club of Chicago in 2019, he was asked to take on a six-year commitment: two as vice president, two as president and two as chair of the nominating committee. Yung hesitated — event planning was out of his comfort zone — but he jumped in and has found joy in connecting alumni through an astounding 80-plus events each year. 

Quietly uniting Tigers in collaborative efforts is a passion. Yung served on the board of the Asian American Alumni Association for two years, joined the Alumni Council Executive Committee last year and began serving on the Committee on Regional Associations. He’s a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council and mentors students through the Center for Career Development. “I feel like a kid in a candy store,” he said, “because I’m interacting with alums from the ’50s to the class of ’24 to current students.” 

Yung and his wife, Peggy, are frequently on campus. Their visits increased when their sons, Jake ’24 and Justin ’25, were students. In 2022, when they tragically lost Justin, Yung and Peggy experienced an outpouring of support from their Princeton friends. They established an endowment in Justin’s name to support internship stipends at PICS, turning a piece of their private heartache into a promise of opportunity for others. 

Yung, as a beloved member of our Tiger family, we celebrate your incalculable impact on our Princeton community. For jumping into countless opportunities to engage Princeton students and alumni with your signature kindness and compassion for others, we are honored to present you with this Award for Service to Princeton.

When Margaret Sena *17 began her graduate studies in history at Princeton in the fall of 1993, it was a proud moment for her family. While neither of her parents had graduated from high school, they believed in the power of education to provide opportunities. Born and raised in Los Angeles with Mexican American roots on her father’s side, Margaret faced bigotry growing up, but it fueled her desire to achieve. 

In her undergraduate years at the University of California-Berkeley, Margaret had a strong support group of other Latino students who were also first-generation and from lower-income backgrounds. Margaret flourished academically as a graduate student at Princeton and was deeply engaged in her research on the underground Catholic Church in the 16th century. The transition from Berkeley to Princeton was challenging, though: when she introduced herself as a Chicana, she was met with puzzled looks. 

After Margaret completed her dissertation in 2017, which she worked on while balancing career and family responsibilities, a Princeton volunteer reached out to ask if she would consider serving on the board of the Association of Latino Princeton Alumni. Margaret said yes, and ALPA quickly provided a meaningful sense of connection that profoundly changed her relationship with the University. 

Margaret served as vice president of ALPA and then as president for two years, from 2020 to 2022. Using the considerable skills she honed in her job as assistant dean of students at Stanford University and associate director of graduate student engagement in Stanford’s El Centro Chicano y Latino, she helped increase engagement in ALPA both demographically and geographically, expanding in-person and online events and launching an extensive survey of the group’s membership. 

The hallmarks of her leadership were inclusivity and creativity. She surprised fellow volunteers with hand-wrapped gifts, mentored younger Tigers for leadership roles and created engagement opportunities that were meaningful and fun. When asked to record her own congratulations for a virtual Latine graduation ceremony, she did far more, reaching out to famous ALPA grads and recording their encouraging words as well. When planning events, she collaborated with regional associations and affinity groups to generate greater engagement. 

When Margaret stepped down from ALPA leadership, she kept going, in new volunteer roles. She joined committees and organized events with the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni, including a tour of the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture, a collaboration with ALPA and the Princeton Club of Southern California. Currently, she serves on the Committee to Nominate Alumni Trustees and is still actively engaged in ALPA. Among many other ways she’s pitched in, last year she joyfully and proudly drove a golf cart of women in the P-rade as part of ALPA’s “Our Legacy, Our Latinas” celebration of the first 50 years of Latina alumnae. 

Margaret says she’s grateful to Princeton for all it’s given her. Margaret, Princeton is grateful to you. For all you’ve given to make our alumni community a better, more inclusive and, yes, more fun place, we proudly present you with this Award for Service to Princeton.

Mozelle Thompson *80 likes to say that you’ve got to remember to keep your foot in the door so other people can come behind you. It’s a lesson he learned from his parents, who guided him to use his own good fortune to help others. 

During his years at Princeton’s School of Public and International Affairs (SPIA), which he entered as part of a joint-degree program with Columbia Law School, Mozelle could count on one hand the number of Black and Latino students in his class of about 50. After his graduation, he was inspired to help inaugurate SPIA’s Students and Alumni of Color Annual (SAOC) Symposium in 1988, hoping to build a community of support. For almost 40 years, Mozelle’s unwavering participation in and dedication to the symposium have been instrumental in developing it into a cornerstone of student empowerment. 

Mozelle says he invests in Princeton students “15 minutes at a time,” recognizing the power of short, meaningful conversations to change lives. But make no mistake — he’s mentored countless Princeton students and alums across multiple generations, providing long-term career advice, networking opportunities and emotional support. He compels mentees to think big, always pushing them to think about what’s next, even as they soar in their own careers. 

As a commissioner on the Federal Trade Commission, deputy assistant secretary of the U.S. Treasury and a strategic adviser for countless private corporations and startups, Mozelle has walked through many an impressive door. For him, keeping those doors open often means sharing practical wisdom from his life experiences. Mozelle recently shocked a professor and his students by telling them he’s never had his first-choice job. What Mozelle learned from this, he said, is two-fold: When he didn’t get what he thought he wanted, he was always better off. “You can’t see it when you’re in it,” he said. He also advised that it’s not about the job, it’s about what you do with it. Mozelle encourages mentees to think out of the box: when an opportunity to work in a federal government program recently fell through for a Princeton student, Mozelle helped him pivot, encouraging him to apply to Google to work on international policy. 

Mozelle counsels his Princeton mentees not to overvalue risks and undervalue opportunities. Intent on helping others connect with opportunities, when Princeton calls, Mozelle always says yes. Among other volunteer engagements, he’s served on the board of the Association of Black Princeton Alumni and is a member of the Dean’s Advisory Council at SPIA. 

Mozelle recently shared some thoughts he had while walking through campus during spring’s SAOC conference. He tells students they deserve to be at Princeton, and they’re entitled to enjoy being part of the University’s legend. Mozelle wondered, “Am I following my own advice?” 

With this Award for Service to Princeton, Princeton gratefully says yes to you, Mozelle. You are a shining star in the University family, sharing in its legacy. We honor you for always holding the door open for the next generations of Tiger leaders.
