As part of the University's transition to the four-year residential college system, students are encouraged to generate events and activities that appeal to their peers inside and outside of their own colleges.

Pieces in place for final phase of four-year college system
Posted September 28, 2009; 10:35 a.m.
With the opening of the new Butler College facilities this fall, the final pieces in the reshaping of Princeton's residential college program are now in place.
The University launched its four-year residential college program in 2007 when Whitman College debuted as the sixth residential college. For the previous 25 years, the five residential colleges housed only freshmen and sophomores. The new system was designed to enable undergraduates from all four classes and graduate students to reside in the colleges to more closely share their Princeton experiences.
The four-year college program has succeeded in providing a variety of residential, social and dining options that have proven popular with students, while enhancing their academic experiences through a new advising structure and learning spaces in the colleges. Each of three four-year colleges is paired with a two-year college. But the transition was not complete until this fall with the opening of five newly constructed dormitory buildings at Butler, a four-year college, and renovated dining facilities shared with Wilson College, its two-year partner.
"Now that we have all three four-year colleges up and running, we will be able more fully to realize our aspirations for the residential college system," said Dean of the College Nancy Malkiel. Whitman and Mathey are the other four-year colleges, paired with Forbes and Rockefeller, respectively.
"The colleges provide venues where undergraduates, graduate students, faculty and staff can interact around common interests and pursuits, including intramural sports, discussion groups, performances -- all of the activities that a diverse, multifaceted community can generate," said Malkiel, who has overseen planning for the programming and physical spaces in the colleges with Executive Vice President Mark Burstein and Vice President for Campus Life Janet Dickerson.
Senior Carrie Carpenter, president of the Butler College Council, said that while she has many friends who live in independent upperclass dormitories, "if you live up campus you don't get to see the freshmen and sophomores as often, and they have unique perspectives that I want to learn from. I wanted to stay in a residential college so I could meet them and participate in activities with them."
With upperclass students now able to reside in Butler, 369 juniors and seniors currently are living in the four-year colleges, compared to 297 last year and 293 in 2007-08. Demand has been rising steadily, with 650 juniors and seniors applying to the four-year college draw for 2009-10, up from 585 for 2008-09 and 492 for 2007-08.

Students also have shown an appetite for the flexible dining options created in the new system. Upperclass residents can take all or some meals in the colleges, no matter where they reside, or they can share meal plans with the independent eating clubs. The University also has provided financial aid to help cover eating club contracts and made available two free meals per week in the colleges for all juniors and seniors. This year, as with the two previous years, approximately 30 percent of all juniors and seniors living in four-year colleges are eating club members on shared meal plans.
"Rising juniors and seniors are choosing every option -- the ones that the eating clubs have provided for over 100 years, ones we have provided for many years and some that are new," Burstein said. "Certain undergraduates are passionate about each of those choices."
Students have responded well to renovations in the college dining facilities that were intended to diminish their institutional feel in favor of more distinctive, welcoming settings and to improve the quality of the food. A new combined servery for Butler's Wu Hall and Wilson's Wilcox Hall opened this month, marking the final phase of this project.
Burstein noted that, in addition to college and eating club options, demand has been strong for independent upperclass dormitories and student-run dining co-operatives. A new international-themed co-op is starting this year in 1901 Hall, adding to existing co-ops in Brown Hall and 2 Dickinson St., each with about 25 members.
"If our goal has been to create equity of experience for all undergraduate students at Princeton, the fact that each option is being chosen passionately is a sign that the changes have provided a new environment that fits with students' needs," he said. "We have received many positive responses about the flexibility of the system."
Carpenter said she purchased a smaller meal contract at Butler, which meets her needs when combined with the two free meals available to upperclass students in the colleges and opportunities to join friends for occasional guest meals at the eating clubs.
"I find it to be the best of both worlds, where I'm paying for a smaller meal plan but I get to experience the 'Street' as well as the community in the college," she said.
Dickerson said she has received encouraging feedback from students who appreciate having dining and social options on and off Prospect Avenue, where the eating clubs are located.
"We have intentionally enhanced opportunities for interaction among students of all backgrounds with the addition of two appealing options on the 'Street' as well," she said. "With the opening of Campus Club, a former eating club now designated as a student gathering space, and 58 Prospect, home of the Fields Center and Community House, we have newly transformed and inclusive spaces that are complementary to the residential college program."
In the transition to the four-year college system college deans and directors of studies were given responsibility for nondepartmental academic advising of all juniors and seniors, which had been handled by deans the Office of the Dean of the College. College-based advisers such as Princeton's Whitman College Dean Rebecca Graves-Bayazitoglu (left, with junior Melissa Ilardo) now are able to maintain a relationship with students through all four years at Princeton, which benefits both the students and advisers.

Academics and signature events
A major element of the transition to the four-year college system was to enhance academic support for undergraduates, notably through changes in the advising structure.
Juniors and seniors now see their residential college deans and directors of studies for nondepartmental academic advising, which previously had been handled by a junior class dean and senior class dean in the Office of the Dean of the College.
"I primarily advise juniors and seniors, so as of this year I am working with students whom I met as freshmen in Whitman's inaugural year," said Rebecca Graves-Bayazitoglu, dean of Whitman College. "The breadth and depth of that relationship help me be a better adviser, which is very exciting for me."
Kathleen Crown, director of studies in Mathey College, said, "We get real pleasure from being able to congratulate a student whose progress we have followed for four years. The advantage of the advising continuity is especially evident when a junior or senior encounters difficulty and we are able to offer help that is informed by a sense of that student's personal and academic history. We also hope that juniors and seniors will feel more comfortable seeking help from advisers whom they have known for years."
Students also benefit academically from the presence of upperclass and graduate students who can consult with their younger peers. Graves-Bayazitoglu said Whitman has had "an incredibly deep pool" of graduate students applying to live in the college. The resident graduate students have organized dinner discussions, language tables, talks about their fields of expertise and even an effort called "Random Acts of Kindness for Seniors" to provide food and other support for students working on their theses.
"They're important members of our community. They organize and attend a host of different events, and have developed friendships and mentoring relationships with the undergraduate students around them," Graves-Bayazitoglu said.
More formal academic connections are made in the colleges as well through freshman seminars and other courses taught in the colleges and through the Princeton Writing Program, which is based in Whitman. "Having formal academic work occurring in these spaces says there isn't a major divide between the life of the mind and everything else -- it's all interrelated," Malkiel said.

Another key aspect of the four-year college system is the establishment of signature events in the colleges that help each develop a distinct personality. Examples include the BlackBox dance club in Wilson, the sustainable garden outside Forbes, digital artmaking in Rockefeller and "Open Mic Night" in Butler. Supporting these and other community-building efforts are the directors of student life in each college, new positions created two years ago as part of the four-year system.
The directors of student life work with college residents to promote a strong sense of community and help them make the best use of nonacademic resources. Each serves as the college's primary liasion to other campus life offices.
Michael Olin, director of student life at Wilson, said the BlackBox club has been successful because it is a student-driven effort with broad appeal. "It's not just Wilson students who are running the BlackBox -- they're students from all across campus and the space here in Wilson is just a conduit for their creativity. That's one of the ideas behind the signature events -- to bring in students from all across the University to have fun in the space."
Olin also cited the Wilson art studio -- created in 2007 in an unused space in Wilcox Hall -- as another popular student-generated initiative. "Luckily there are enough students in Wilson and in all the residential colleges who are motivated enough to think creatively and think outside the box to propose ideas," he said.

Sanjeev Kulkarni, a professor of electrical engineering and master of Butler College, said that in addition to the college's popular "Open Mic Night," he anticipates that students will find creative uses for the new common spaces such as art and photo exhibitions, displays of academic work and performances. He is excited about Butler's first full year of operation with new and improved facilities, after two years of work to demolish five old dormitories and replace them with more contemporary buildings.
"There is always learning and fine-tuning to do, and I'm sure we will have some of that as we grow into the new space and figure out what programs work well," he said. "This has been a wonderful time to be a college master and a great time in particular to be at Butler."

Vernon Ah Kee's work oscillates between beautifully rendered realist drawings and stark, post-conceptual text pieces. Although visually far apart, there are clear correspondences between the two bodies of work. As writer Timothy Morrell has noted, 'Both mediums are handled with a degree of precision and a restraint that appeals to an old-fashioned love of the perfect line, whether drawn or written'.[1]The artist has made both forms his own, developing in each a distinctive aesthetic that at the same time appears to retreat from individual authorship. The drawings are the epitome of meticulous technique, cool and detached, while the text pieces use clean, sans-serif fonts in plain compositions that are produced with a professional sign-writer. It is of course the content of Ah Kee's works that gives them their specific charge: pushing against the form, it bubbles beneath his serene surfaces in a complex mixture of fury, poignancy and bleak, black humour.
Ah Kee has only been exhibiting his drawings since 2004, beginning with fantasies of the good, a series of portraits of male family members. The drawings arose from the artist's research into the Tindale Collection at the South Australian Museum, which contains hundreds of photographs of Aboriginal people taken by anthropologist Norman Tindale between 1930 and the mid 1960s. Individuals are identified by number, not name, and on requesting images of his own family from the collection, Ah Kee received them as cropped portraits that to him resembled mug shots. The layers of institutional violence that this well-meaning act implies inspired Ah Kee to render the images as off-centre drawings, with a focus on the piercing, direct gaze of his subjects. The series has been expanded into portraits of living relatives, each drawn from photographs to maintain the restrained, slightly distant style.
For this exhibition, Ah Kee presents a major new drawing, a triptych featuring an image of his grandfather and two of himself. The artist's seductive, sensitive draughtsmanship, an index of cultural refinement and aesthetic sophistication, appeals to our desire for beauty and technical prowess, yet he and his grandfather are positioned front- and side-on, their expressions blank, in poses common to images of anthropological subjects and of criminals. Implicit here are both sides of European culture's coin. As in Ah Kee's other portraits, the eyes address us directly, forcing us to meet their gaze, and communicating 'an immeasurable amount of sadness, weariness and suppressed anger'.[2]
Ah Kee's text works also arrest our vision, using bold arrangements and sardonic wordplay to activate and address the violence embedded in language. The artist refers to his text pieces as 'signs', drawing on our natural reading instincts by employing stark black-on-white designs with the strident sloganeering of advertising. Employing puns, in-jokes, and double-entendres, Ah Kee turns the English language, as well as its Australian vernacular, upon itself, isolating words and phrases from their contexts and excavating a racist subtext from the most seemingly innocuous of phrases. He takes palpable delight in words, pulling them apart and playing with their sounds, meanings and associations, encouraging a slipperiness to occur beneath the seemingly didactic nature of the works.
The words in Ah Kee's signs therefore resist linear readings, ranging from direct references, as in strange fruit (recalling the famous blues song about lynching in the American South), to invented slogans such as i used to go to church like it was religion and strange conjunctions such as paradigmme and privilegeme. Works such as hang ten and race ya strike deep into the heart of Aussie ocker culture, casting a dark shadow over the phraseology of our laid-back, beachside way of life. The artist views the text works as portraits in a sense, drawing on his own experiences and interests to build a kind of fragmented personal narrative. Viewed together with the drawn portraits, which could be seen to address the treatment of bodies as symbols or texts, the signs provide a compelling argument for the place of reflexivity, ambiguity and memory within the rigid regimes of Australia's race debate.

Video feature: PLOrk performs 'A Horde of Premieres and Pianos'
Posted August 27, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Since its founding in 2005, the Princeton Laptop Orchestra (PLOrk) has inspired the formation of laptop orchestras around the world from Oslo to Bangkok, and has performed at prestigious venues such as Carnegie Hall in New York City.
This spring, PLOrk returned to Princeton's Richardson Auditorium to perform seven new works in a show titled "A Horde of Premieres and Pianos." This video documents the spring concert's production, showing segments of the performance and rehearsals as well as new instruments that were introduced during the event.
Play the "PLOrk performs 'A Horde of Premieres and Pianos'" video.
PLOrk, made up of University faculty, staff and students, takes the traditional model of the orchestra and reinvents it for the 21st century. Each laptopist performs with a laptop and custom-designed hemispherical speaker that emulates the way traditional orchestral instruments cast their sound in space. The group's instruments include laptop keyboards, graphic tablets, sensors, video game controllers and new wooden instruments that simulate the warmer tones of traditional orchestral instruments. The members also collaborate to develop software, compose music and conduct research.
PLOrk was co-founded by Daniel Trueman, professor of music, and Perry Cook, emeritus professor of computer science. Trueman and Rebecca Fiebrink, an assistant professor of computer science, are PLOrk's directors.

The Story of Apple Part Two
Peter Asher recounts the creation of The Beatles' Apple Records which brought together some of the most eclectic sounds and talents of the time.
Launched by The Beatles in 1968, Apple served as the new outlet for their own recordings as well as the music of an eclectic roster of artists who were all personally brought to the label by The Beatles (individually and/or collectively). In the revolutionary spirit of the times, Apple's utopian artist-orientated mission celebrated diversity in a friendly creative environment. The result was a rainbow spectrum of music, from folk, rock and soul to The Modern Jazz Quartet and the work of contemporary British classical composer John Tavener.

A long time ago a Scouting mentor of mine told me that the secret to success in a Troop is PROGRAM, PROGRAM, PROGRAM. When you have a strong program you have Scouts that stay in Scouting, you have good advancement, you have Trained leaders, you have active Scouts and Scout parents. PROGRAM, PROGRAM, PROGRAM!
The outdoor program is Scouting's classroom. It is why Scouts join and stay in Scouting. Without the outdoor experience it's just another club.
Outdoor adventure is the promise that we make to these young men when they join Scouts.
Here is what the BSA's website (Scouting.org) has to say about the outdoor program, I have highlighted a few key words in this excerpt from the site.
In the outdoors, boys have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. Attributes of good character become part of a boy as he learns to cooperate to meet outdoor challenges that may include extreme weather, difficult trails and portages, and dealing with nature's unexpected circumstances. Scouts plan and carry out activities with thoughtful guidance from their Scoutmaster and other adult leaders. Good youth leadership, communication, and teamwork enable them to achieve goals they have set for themselves, their patrol or squad, and their troop or team.
Learning by doing is a hallmark of outdoor education. Unit meetings offer information and knowledge used on outdoor adventures each month throughout the year. A leader may describe and demonstrate a Scouting skill at a meeting, but the way Scouts truly learn outdoor skills is to do them themselves on a troop outing.
Scouting uses the patrol method to teach skills and values. Scouts elect their own patrol leader and they learn quickly that by working together and sharing duties, the patrol can accomplish far more than any of its members could do alone. The patrol succeeds when every member of the patrol succeeds and Scouts learn that good teamwork is the key to success.
Exercise and fitness are part of the outdoor experience. As Scouts hike, paddle, climb, bike, or ride, their muscles become toned and their aerobic capacity increases. When they work as a patrol to plan menus for their outings, they learn to purchase cost-effective ingredients to prepare flavorful and nutritious meals.
Service to others and good citizenship is learned through such outdoor activities as conservation projects, collecting food, building trails and shelters, and conducting community service projects that promote healthy living. Through helping other people, Scouts learn to appreciate how they can share themselves and their blessings to those in need. By giving service to benefit others, Scouts gain a sense of personal satisfaction.
Your outdoor program is essential to the success of your unit. Getting the Scouts out side and active is the method in which it all comes together.
Lets talk a minute about types of activities… CAMPING! I don't care how you camp… camp! Backpack, tail gate, sleep in cabins, whatever.. just get out and camp. And when you camp.. make it for more than 1 night. 1 night is not enough to excercise the important parts of the Patrol method. Camp! Place NO RESTRICTIONS on camping or activities in your unit. Sumer camps and National High Adventure bases place age and rank restrictions on certain activities. These are in place to reduce lines, give older Scouts incentives, and maintain certain levels or risk management. At the unit level as long as you have QUALIFIED and WELL TRAINED Leadership… the sky is the limit. Younger Scouts can do amazing things when you let them. So take them climbing, Kyaking, swimming, rafting, canoeing, backpacking… The sky is the limit.
Never say no to your PLC! Let them plan and carry out great outdoor adventures!
Last weekend our Troop did a 10 mile Backpack trip over 2 nights (2.5 days). The whole Troop did the event. We have 17 brand new Scouts in the Troop and for a few this was their first camp out. We trained them to pack their packs and reduce their loads. We did a shake down before we left to ensure they were all prepared.. then we went. On Saturday, we gave the first year Scouts the option to carry their packs or have them forwarded to the next camp location. Most of them carried their packs.. and after many adjustments.. they all did very well. The best part is they challenged themselves. They pushed themselves and did their best. I am proud of them.
This is the adventure that they joined the troop for. Remember.. They joined Scouts.. we did not join them! You have to deliver the promise!
The outdoor program is an essential part of the Scouting movement. It is universal, it is the class room of Scouting, it is… The Promise of Scouting!
Pictured above are some of the Scouts that went on the backpack trip this last weekend. Most of the Scouts pictured are in the new Scout Patrol.
Have a Great Scouting Day!
Methods – Outdoor Program
A long time ago a Scouting mentor of mine told me that the secret to success in a Troop is PROGRAM, PROGRAM, PROGRAM. When you have a strong program you have Scouts that stay in Scouting, you have good advancement, you have Trained leaders, you have active Scouts and Scout parents. PROGRAM, PROGRAM, PROGRAM!

About Me
I am just me. I am a wife, a mother, a grandmother, an aunt, a daughter, and a friend. I am a Christian and I pray every single day - some days I pray for help, for direction, for forgiveness, for thanks, but most of my prayers are about how grateful I am for all of the things I have been given to fill my life. I am grateful for my family, my friends, my home - the list is endless.
I have been married to my husband, Rich for 49 years this past December - he is my heart, my best friend, and most definitely my soul mate. Our first 26 years were spent in the Air Force and Rich retired and we moved back to Hendersonville, my home town, and he has been a police officer here now for 25 years. I am very, very proud of him.
I have four wonderful children - 8 adorable grandchildren - my sweet Dad died on December 16th, 2013 and I miss him terribly. He was sick for a long, long time and I find peace in knowing he is no longer suffering. He joins my Mother and my Sister in heaven so I am sure they are having a very happy reunion.
I love Scrap Girls - I have been a member since January of 2006 and have always felt so at home in this warm and fuzzy little purple place that I like to call my home away from home. I love the friends I have made here and I thank God every day for blessing me with such good and true friends. The Scrap Girls newsletter is one of the first things I check each morning and the last thing I check before going to bed. One of my favorite things on Scrap Girls is going through the Gallery and seeing all of the wonderful layouts from our members.
I am happy 98% of the time - the other 2% I am usually thinking about why I'm not happy - I'm easy to get along with, don't do well with confrontation, prefer giving praise rather than criticism, and I am loyal to the core to the things in which I believe. I am a good listener and I try to be a good friend.
I have days when I need to get away from it all and I call those days "My Mental Health Days" When I feel the need I simply decide that it's a day to be a couch potato and to just scrap the day away or write. I love to write and right now I am knee deep in a book I am writing for my children - just kind of a life book all about them, and about what I was like before I was their Mom.
I am happy to be a Scrap Girl!

A medical crisis can be a frightening experience for both you and your child who has PH. During an emergency, being able to communicate with your child about symptoms and help them stay calm are especially important. Handling an emergency begins long before the emergency happens: advance preparation can make all the difference. Read on for advice on communicating about symptoms and helping your child — and their siblings — cope during and after a crisis.
Happy Face, Sad Face. Smiley face pictures can be a great way for kids to indicate how they are feeling: a smiling face means they feel well, a face with a flat mouth means not great, and a frowning face means they are in pain.
Families might prefer to use different symbols that their child associates with being happy or sad — for instance, foods your child likes and dislikes.
Stand-In. When your child is under stress, it can be more difficult for them to tell you what's wrong. Using their doll or action figure as a stand-in for them to point out "where it hurts" can be a great technique — and the toy may be comforting to your child in the midst of a crisis, so it's great to bring it out anyway.
Be Consistent. Each family has its own words for symptoms, treatments and medical equipment. When the Emergency Medical Technicians arrive, let them know what names you and your child use when talking about these things. It will facilitate their communication with your child, and the familiar names will be less frustrating, and more reassuring, for your child.
Breathe In, Breath Out. Focusing on a breathing exercise helps children in two ways: it distracts them from the crisis, and deep breathing helps the body de-stress. Practice breathing exercises regularly so that your child is comfortable using them, and then guide them through the exercises during a crisis.
Use Imagination. Children have wonderful imaginations, which can be great for practicing guided imagery relaxation exercises. Take some time each week to practice imagining yourselves somewhere calming, like the beach. Ask your child questions to help them focus on what they are imagining — "What are you wearing? Who else is at the beach?" Then during a crisis, help your child go to their "happy place."
Comfort Objects. Most children have a comfort object — a blanket, toy or doll — they want with them during unsettling moments. Make sure you bring along your child's comfort object during a crisis.
If You're Not There. If your child is on medication, you've probably trained your childcare providers in administering the treatment and being on the lookout for any side effects. Similarly, you want any adult caring for your child to know how to help your child stay calm if a crisis occurs. Along with your other instructions, show them any breathing exercises, relaxation techniques or coping tools you practicewith your child.
Don't Lie. You want to build your child's feeling of safety and trust in you and their medical professionals. Don't make promises, and don't tell your child, "It won't hurt." Broken promises will be more damaging in the long run.
Stay by Their Side — and Let Them Know It. An unplanned visit to the hospital can be frightening, and your child will take reassurance from your presence. Make sure they know that you're aware of how they are feeling and that you're going to stay by their side. For instance, you might say, "I know you're having a hard time breathing right now. The doctor is going to help, and I'm going to stay with you." If you're required to leave the room for a procedure, explain to your child where you're going, why, and when you'll be back.
It's No One's Fault. Children, particularly around ages 3 and 4, often believe that their thoughts, feelings and actions significantly impact the reality around them. This means that they may blame themselves for events in their lives. Young children could easily believe that their medical crisis is their fault, and you may need to reassure them. Let them know that the crisis is NOT their fault. This is an additional reason to stay by your child's side in the ambulance and hospital: it will reassure your child that you don't blame them for what's happening and that you love your child just as much as you did before the crisis occurred.
Brothers and Sisters. In the midst of a crisis, your focus is understandably on your child who has PH. Remember to take some time after things settle down to talk to your other children about how they felt during the crisis. Let them know you're proud of them for being brave and thank them for any help they gave you — whether it was by staying in their beds, helping pack for the hospital or comforting their sibling.

Princeton's class of 2010 valedictorian David Karp, who will present his valedictory address at Commencement, has embraced teamwork and creative problem-solving in his path to the top of the class. Karp wants to pursue pathbreaking research in aerodynamic design. At Princeton, the mechanical and aerospace engineering major especially enjoyed working with faculty and classmates to solve challenging science and engineering problems.
Also speaking at the Commencement ceremony will be Marguerite Colson, a history major, who is the salutatorian of the class of 2010. She will continue the tradition of giving a speech in Latin. Read more about Colson in a related story.

For valedictorian Karp, success is built upon teamwork
Posted May 24, 2010; 12:00 p.m.
Early last fall Princeton's class of 2010 valedictorian David Karp was taking in a lecture by Professor Alexander Smits on the daunting science of turbulent flows as part of a graduate-level engineering course. Thinking ahead about the intimidating problem sets he would have to solve for the course, the straight-A student looked around the classroom and was relieved by the sight of his friends.
His eyes rested on the only other undergraduates in the class of 22, Margaret Byron and Michael Papageorge. They had discussed the course the previous spring and had decided to form "Team Undergrad," a study group. Together, as Karp hoped, they ultimately would attack the problem sets over the semester with great alacrity, gathering over several weeknights in the library of Charter Club, the eating club where Karp is an officer.
What unfolded, for Karp, was one of his best experiences at Princeton. "Working with these classmates reinforced what I have learned over the years about this place -- that it is filled with incredible people with a multitude of talents," he said. "It also struck me, though, how willing my friends were to work together and help each other. I have learned that there is great power in this."
Karp's path to the top of the class -- which will culminate with his valedictory address at Commencement on Tuesday, June 1 -- has been propelled by his embrace of teamwork and creative problem-solving.
Ultimately Karp, who is majoring in mechanical and aerospace engineering, aced Smits' graduate course and formed a lasting bond with his classmates. Smits noted that Karp outdistanced everyone except for the best graduate student in the course. He regards Karp as perhaps the best student he has seen in his 29 years at Princeton.
"He has an almost playful approach to the task at hand, where he first masters the fundamental understanding," said Smits, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and department chair. "Next he broadens the task and raises the bar, perhaps to make it interesting enough to create a genuine challenge, and then he overcomes this challenge of his own making, often in an elegantly simple way."
Karp has accumulated a 4.0 grade point average and 29 A's and A+'s. In addition to his major, he will earn certificates in applied and computational mathematics and in applications of computing. His experience at Princeton has left him with an appreciation for the collaboration that he has enjoyed in his academic and social life, and a deep gratitude for his family's help in supporting him on his way to Princeton and through his college years, he said.
Passion for aerodynamics
As a person whose dream is to conduct pathbreaking research in aerodynamic design -- be it spaceships, high-speed aircraft or racecars -- Karp said it's been wonderful to learn firsthand how useful teamwork can be in solving big problems. And, even if, scientifically speaking, one is flying solo, he said, it can be inspiring to be working in a cauldron of discovery such as Princeton.
"You think of someone with a world-class mind like John Nash," said Karp, speaking of the Nobel laureate and senior research mathematician in the Department of Mathematics who is a personal hero of his. "But even Dr. Nash, when he was working here in Princeton in the 1950s, doing the work that would win him a Nobel Prize, was working in a community of astounding individuals, like (Professor of Mathematical Economics Emeritus) Harold Kuhn. That had to be important to him. Great minds build off each other."
Karp's eyes light up when he talks about his passion for aerodynamic design. He gestures with his hands when he describes the air flow over various shapes and how he would like to improve the geometry to make things, as he said, "go really fast." He loved doing his senior thesis on the use of computer simulations to optimize the flow of air around a wing. His adviser, Luigi Martinelli, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering, described the work as "a very challenging project at the intersection of aerodynamics and computational engineering that is very much a contemporary research issue in our field."
The final objective of aerodynamics, Martinelli explained, is to determine shapes that interact optimally with substances such as air or water. In the 1990s, Martinelli's research group at Princeton developed a novel and powerful aerodynamics design tool for flight conditions in which the air flow is stationary, such as when an airliner is moving at cruise speed. Karp's thesis is devoted to the extension of that method for aerodynamic devices operating in a time-dependent flow, such as a blade for a wind turbine or flapping wings.
Once implemented in software and fully tested, Karp's thesis is expected to provide a useful new tool for the design of more efficient airfoils for rotating blades, Martinelli said.
Karp said he did his best work on the project in the wee hours of the morning, fueled by chicken nuggets. "I can't go to sleep until I finish a problem," he said.
Martinelli, who taught Karp in four courses, said it was fun to witness Karp thinking through a problem. "David has demonstrated superior command across the entire spectrum of academic engineering disciplines, from advanced applied mathematics to practical aspects of engineering design," Martinelli said. "He is gifted with an elegant and clear thought process and consistently demonstrates the ability to learn quickly."
Challenges in and out of class
In considering some elements of his academic success, Karp credits his classmates for working with him in a study group at Butler College for a 300-level course in materials science during his sophomore year. Professor Emily Carter taught the course and remembers Karp as a standout, besting all members of the class, two-thirds of whom where juniors and seniors.
"David is simply the best undergraduate I have encountered in the six years I have been a faculty member at Princeton, and ranks among the very top few of thousands of undergraduate students I have taught over my 22 years in academia," said Carter, the Arthur W. Marks '19 Professor of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and Applied and Computational Mathematics.
Some of Karp's best experiences at Princeton came in studying with his peers in the library of Charter Club, the eating club where Karp is an officer. As a co-founder of the independent intramural sports team the Black Squirrels, he also has greatly enjoyed team sports, including his favorite, floor hockey.
Karp created an outlet for his penchant for teamwork in his freshman year by co-founding the Black Squirrels, which allowed him to continue to play his favorite high school sport -- floor hockey. The independent, intramural sports team is named for the relatively rare subgroup of the eastern grey squirrel that is ubiquitous in Princeton. The team has grown from its prime hockey focus to field teams also in broomball, soccer, kickball and team handball, and has won several University competitions.
Karp also stretched his capabilities by taking on a new challenge as a journalist, writing sports news about sprint football, softball and men's ice hockey for The Daily Princetonian student newspaper.
Karp concedes that he is competitive, not so much with others but with himself. When he plays golf, for example, he gets annoyed with himself if he is not playing at his personal best. "It's as if I know what I am capable of and I don't like it if I don't meet that mark."
A tendency toward tenacity
The drive to excel was nurtured in Karp early, as a talent for research runs in his family. His maternal grandfather, A. Eric Andersen, was recruited at age 17 to work at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico during World War II as part of the Manhattan Project to build the atomic bomb. Karp's father, Doug, is an electrical engineer and business executive, and his mother, Karen, is a research nurse at the neonatal ophthalmology division at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He has one sister, Melissa, who is a freshman at Tufts University.
His parents always encouraged his intellectual growth, he said. They posted multiplication tables on the refrigerator when he was five so he could memorize them. And he did. When they were driving in Berwyn in suburban Philadelphia, where he grew up, his parents would point to successive speed limit signs and ask him to add one to another. "They were always coming up with puzzles and problems for me to solve," he said.
His parents allowed him to skip second grade but kept him at grade level after that, though some teachers wanted him to be accelerated. "My parents didn't want me to be too much younger than everyone else," he said. "And I'm glad about that. I had a very happy school experience."
He excelled in his studies at Conestoga High School. When he wasn't studying, he was playing street hockey in his neighborhood or floor hockey somewhere else, Karp said.
At Princeton Karp has won many honors. He twice won the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence. He was elected to the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society in 2008 and to Phi Beta Kappa in 2009. In fall 2009, he was the co-winner of the Class of 1939 Princeton Scholar Award, given to the student who has achieved the highest academic standing at the end of junior year.
Karp also has won significant recognition beyond Princeton. He was one of 14 students nationwide to be awarded a Churchill Scholarship for 2010-11, which he will use at the University of Cambridge to pursue a master of advanced studies in applied mathematics. And he is one of 15 students nationwide to receive a $250,000 fellowship from the Fannie and John Hertz Foundation, which will support five years of doctoral study in computational fluid dynamics at Stanford University.
This summer, Karp will be working at Jane Street Capital in New York, a proprietary trading firm.
Looking ahead, Karp is considering multiple career paths. He might design spacecraft for NASA or work on hypersonic aircraft. He might pursue a career in finance. He also loves race cars, a passion he picked up from his mother, so he might end up creating new models for Formula One vehicles. And he wants to spend some time snowboarding, a sport he picked up recently.
"These are exciting choices, all growing out of my experience here," Karp said. "I'm looking forward to figuring it out."

"Our families love us and when we are sick, it affects them because of how much they love us. Don't ever feel guilty but realize that your family is just as scared as you are. They are just as nervous, as worried, as sad, as upset as you are."
"I will never be able to show my mom or my boyfriend just how grateful I am to them for all that they've done for me in this past year alone."
Your teenage years are an exciting and sometimes confusing time as you transition from being a child to being an adult. During this time, you learn more about who you are and who you want to be as an individual. As this happens, you naturally become more independent and it is normal to be less interested in spending time with your family and more interested in spending time with your friends. You may also find yourself challenging your parents' ideas or values as you work toward figuring out who you are. Dealing with family can be really hard for any teen, and living with PH can make your relationships with your parents, brothers and sisters a lot more complicated. Even though it might be frustrating, it's worth the effort to work on these relationships. At the end of the day, family is an important part of our lives, providing us with the support and love we need to make it through challenges like living with PH.
Being a teenager is hard and being a teenager with PH can be even harder. Sometimes this ends up making relationships between teens and their parents more stressful than they might otherwise be. Becca, a 19-year old living with PH, told us, "Just like with any regular teen, the parents are scared to let go. With us it's just a bit more complicated." Your parents may want to help you with your medications or check in with you all the time. On one hand, that might feel a little annoying sometimes, and on the other hand, it is also nice to know that we are cared for. Sometimes you might feel like you are getting too much attention when it comes to being sick and you might want a little space. Other times it might feel like you need a little extra help with some of the stuff that is going on for you. It's ok to want to be more independent and to still want your parents' help. The important thing is to find a balance and to remember that each person in the relationship should try hard to be respectful of where the other person is coming from.
If you have had PH since you were little, it may be just a part of how your family relates to each other. Your parents and siblings might not know how to treat you any other way. This can be really frustrating when you want to be seen as more than someone with PH. It can be hard to develop who we are when so much focus is put on one aspect of ourselves. It can be a different experience if you were diagnosed with PH as a teenager. If that is the case, you need to know that it is normal to feel sad about how much your life has changed. You were probably used to having some freedoms, like getting to go out with friends and do things on your own, that your parents may no longer want you to do. You might find that people suddenly treat you very differently – even parents and siblings – and that can be tough.
Your parents may worry about your getting sick when you are away from them, and this can impact their willingness to let you stay out late or go out with your friends. You may find yourself arguing frequently with your parents about what you can and cannot do by yourself, like driving, going to parties, or spending the night out with friends. Kiah, now 20 years old, was diagnosed at age 10. She shared, "Balancing your parents' fears and preparing yourself for facing obstacles on your own is hard." She's right – just like a lot of parts of your life, this is a balancing act. Luckily it is one that gets easier with time, patience, and practice.
You may also worry about the impact your PH is having on your parents. You don't want to be a burden to them. One teen with PH we talked to wondered, "What if I have to go on my parent's insurance and their premiums sky rocket? Will they have to sell their home? Will we have to move out of state just to get better insurance? Will my mom have to get a job?" It can also be confusing to see your parents sad, upset, or worried. Many teens with chronic illnesses feel a need to protect their parents from feeling this way. This is a lot of extra stress and not one that most teens have to worry about. This might feel unfair, because it isn't fair. You did not choose to develop PH and it is important to remember not to take on so much worry and responsibility. If you find yourself worried about some of these big issues, share that with your parents. They will likely be able to give you some insight into their situation and help you feel better about it.
As you probably know all too well, living with PH can also impact your relationships with your siblings. Siblings might not understand why you have to take so much medication or undergo certain tests. They may also be worried about you and not know how to act around you while they get used to your diagnosis. Older siblings may try to act like they know what's best for you. Younger siblings may be upset with you for getting extra time and attention from your parents and not really understand what is going on. Kiah told us, "Sometimes parents give more toys, gifts and time to the sibling with the illness and this can cause jealousy."
On the flipside, you might feel a little resentful or envious of your siblings for being healthy and not having to deal with PH. You might even feel guilty for feeling these things, but that is a completely normal way to feel. You might be watching your siblings get to do things that you are not able to participate in as easily. You might also feel that your parents give your siblings certain freedoms that they don't give you.
Like others your age, you have to prove that you are capable of handling greater independence in order to gain the trust of your parents and the freedom that you want. One way you can show your parents that you are responsible is just by talking to them about everyday things, not just PH. This creates an open line of communication so that your parents have some insight into what is going on in your life. One teen suggested, "Showing your parents that you are more than your health can help them to realize they need to let you do normal teen stuff like field trips and shopping with the friends." Keeping that open line of communication can also help because when you do need to talk about your health or other serious things, it will feel less awkward starting the conversation. Keep in mind that this is a gradual process and it may take some time for your parents to recognize and trust that you are mature enough to be more independent.
Also remember that it is natural for your parents to want to take care of you and that with some planning and open communication, you can work together to gain more control, independence, and freedom over your life and your PH. Here are some steps you can take to get that independence and maintain healthy relationships with your parents and siblings:
Take charge. Show your parents that you are comfortable taking on aspects of your PH care and that you're thinking through how you can manage your PH in day-to-day situations. Taking charge shows them that you are taking your health seriously and that you can manage it responsibly. Here are a few ways that you can do this:
Think it through. You'll have to negotiate curfews, responsibilities and freedoms just like any other teen. Think through your requests in advance so you can anticipate what your parents might be worried about and have solutions ready. Though it might feel like a lot of work, demonstrating responsibility and the ability to make good decisions works wonders when it comes to gaining your parents' trust.
Think ahead. As a teenager, you're probably already thinking ahead – to the college you want to attend or the job you want to have, to moving out of the house or traveling.
Focus forward. At times it can be easy to get caught up in the struggle over what you want for your future versus what your parents want. Most schools have professionals who can help you understand different career paths and help you decide what colleges, occupations, or professional school might be a good fit for you.
Back to center. Remember that if your parents restrict your activities, it is because they want to know you're safe. Just like you may feel at times that your parents are being unfair or unresponsive, they probably also feel frustrated at times and unhappy with being the "bad guys." When you're feeling like you and your parents are on opposite sides of an issue, remember that your parents want what's best for you. Remind them that you appreciate them, even when you disagree.
Gain outside perspective. You may feel like the impact of PH on your family is overwhelming, but it's important that you don't try to shoulder these concerns on your own. Think of a trusted friend, teacher, or mentor who you can talk to openly. Maybe your sister or brother would understand. If you ever do feel like you need a safe and unbiased place to talk, ask your parents about talking to a counselor. Often someone outside the situation can offer you a fresh perspective.
Be open with your parents. Tell your parents if you have any worries about how PH is impacting them. Let your parents know if they are saying things about you and your PH that are hurtful to you. Remind them that you love and appreciate them when they do things that help you, and forgive them when they do things that aggravate you. Expect the same from them. You can both help these conversations go smoothly by giving and receiving information in a calm manner.
Be a friend. Discuss and share everyday things with your siblings, like activities you both enjoy. Ask about their day at school. Care about what is important to them. Your siblings will likely look to you for cues on how to act. You can set the tone for them to treat you like any other brother or sister.
Be open with your siblings. If you're worried that your PH is impacting your siblings, ask them. Similarly, if your siblings say things about your PH that are hurtful to you, be honest with them about it. Remind them that you appreciate them when they do things that help you, and be forgiving when they do things that annoy you.
Keep your cool. Sometimes when we feel frustrated or jealous, it is easy for us to lose our cool. Maybe you snap at your sister or maybe you all out tear into your brother. Instead of losing your temper, practice calming yourself. Take a moment to step aside and focus on the problem at hand. Are you mad at the person or at the situation? If it's at the situation, is there something you can do to change it? If it is at the person, how can you share what you are feeling without yelling or fighting? If you are having trouble calming down, go to a quiet spot where you can reflect and calm down. Being angry can affect your mood and your body. You might notice yourself breathing faster and more shallowly. You might feel your heart rate increasing. It is especially important to monitor this and try to calm down.
Expect things to go wrong sometimes. Siblings argue and sometimes say hurtful things to each other. This is a completely normal aspect of being a part of a family. Don't expect perfection from anyone, including yourself. We all make mistakes and we all need to be forgiven. If you say something hurtful, apologize. If your sister or brother says something hurtful to you, tell them and help them understand why it was hurtful.
Friends for life. Though it can be hard to imagine at times, your siblings might end up being some of your closest friends in life. Treating them with love and respect helps build that relationship. You are also entitled to love and respect from them and are allowed to share when you are not feeling loved or respected. Many adults share a special bond with their siblings unlike any other. That bond comes from going through good times and hard times with them. Keep in mind that it is all part of the larger process of growing up.

While much has changed since it was founded as the "Self-Help Bureau" in 1912, the office's commitment to assisting students and alumni pursue their career goals has remained the same. In September, about 1,200 students attended the 15th annual General Interest Career Fair to meet with employment recruiters representing more than 120 organizations.

Princeton's Career Services celebrates 100 years
Posted November 21, 2012; 12:00 p.m.
Princeton University's Office of Career Services is marking its 100th anniversary this year. While a lot has changed since the office was founded as the "Self-Help Bureau" in 1912, one thing remains the same: Career Services' commitment to assisting Princeton students and alumni as they develop and pursue their career goals.
Throughout its 100 years, the office has encouraged students to get an early start on their career planning, said Director of Career Services Beverly Hamilton-Chandler. Undergraduates, graduate students and alumni are encouraged to take advantage of the office's numerous programs and resources, from one-on-one career counseling to career fairs and networking events.

"Career Services has been an invaluable resource during my job search," Princeton senior Katelyn Perry said. "My interactions with the career counselors have enabled me to be more strategic and purposeful in my career search rather than just casting a wide net."
Junior April Hu said she appreciates that Career Services helps students pursue career goals "at their own time and own pace."

Hamilton-Chandler said the primary difference between Career Services "then and now" is that technology has significantly changed the way students interact with the office, as well as with prospective employers.
"Many alumni may still remember bulletin boards and binders full of paper job and internship postings, as well as long lines to register for on-campus interviews," Hamilton-Chandler said. "Today, employment postings, applications and interview schedules are managed online. In the past two decades, the Internet and social media have fundamentally changed employer recruitment methods and the way students search and apply for opportunities.
"Our goal is to continue to provide highly personalized services while also maintaining 24/7 online accessibility," Hamilton-Chandler added, noting that Career Services plans to update its website this spring with more interactive and multimedia features.
Sophomore Gavin Cook said he has benefited from many of the office's resources.
"The best part about working with Career Services is that they help you with the tools and vocabulary to market yourself, whether on resumes, in interviews or networking situations," Cook said.

Several celebrations and displays are scheduled for the spring semester to commemorate Career Services' centennial. Alumni and students are invited to participate in the "Alumni Connections Student Networking Event," at 6 p.m. March 4, 2013, at Prospect House. This annual event brings alumni from a wide range of fields back to campus to share their insights and advice with students. To register for the March 4 networking event, visit the Career Services website.

In addition, the summer internship and nonprofit career fairs from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Friday, Feb. 15, 2013, at Dillon Gym will feature displays for students, alumni and employers. In April, a reception is planned to honor alumni who have hosted the office's "Princeternship" career exploration program, and a Career Services open house will be held for alumni during Reunions. Also, all members of the graduating Class of 2013 will receive recognition for being the 100th graduating class that Career Services' has assisted.
A look at Career Services' history is available on the office's Facebook timeline, which features photos and articles from its founding through today.
The Career Services website and Facebook timeline feature historical highlights from the office's past 100 years, including a celebratory infographic. (Illustration by the Office of Career Services)
