The Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA) is dedicated to building a community of graduate alumni and students that celebrates the uniqueness of the Princeton Graduate experience. We develop and support events and activities designed to foster:

• Dynamic and enriching intellectual and social exchanges
• Collegiality and support for all academic and professional endeavors
• Our vital role within the larger Princeton University community

We invite all Princetonians to join us in contributing to this mission.

Upcoming Events

• The Woodrow Wilson School is offering a three-day workshop entitled "Pathways to Public Service: A Workshop on Re-entering the Workforce" for Princeton alums who have "stepped out" of the workforce for several years to raise a family and who are considering re-entry. Over the course of the three days, participants will gain job search and resume writing skills, develop networks, and learn about options available to them in the public sector. The workshop will be held June 5-7 and is free to all participants, excluding travel costs. Click here for more details.
