Representing all of Princeton’s undergraduate classes, graduate alumni, and the parents of current Princeton students and alumni, Princeton volunteers are the heart of Annual Giving.

For Annual Giving Chair Deb Yu ’98, AG represents a tradition of care and trust that bonds the entire alumni community. “I think of Princeton as a family, and I feel it’s important to support that family,” she said. “Giving to AG is a vote of confidence in the University and a promise to each other.” A longtime AG volunteer, Deb served as a class agent for the Class of 1998 since shortly after her 10th Reunion. In addition, she has been a member of the Annual Giving Committee since 2016, serving as a vice chair from 2020 to 2024.
