Duane McWaine Explains Princeton to Kiwis

U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand David Huebner '82, a passionate advocate of social media in diplomacy, writes a series about U.S. educational institutions on the US. Embassy's website. In his latest installment, he turns to page over to his spouse Dr. Duane McWaine '80, to take a long, detailed, gloriously illustrated look at Princeton University (complete with a nice plug and picture of Colonial Club. McWaine starts his tour of the University like this:

Thank you, Ambassador! Like many Princeton University alumni, I have been back to campus in beautiful Princeton, New Jersey several times in the years since I graduated, including twice this year alone. Each time I go back I’m amazed at what’s changed and heartened by what remains the same.
McWaine's ranges across Princeton's history, academics, student resources, alumni, eating clubs, Triangle Club, the P-Rade, athletics and his own experiences as an undergraduate. It's well worth reading.

  1. Thanks Van! Hope I wasn't too flagrant with my Colonial mention. ;-)

    1. Duane, you can't mention Colonial enough! Let's give that mighty battleship on Prospect its due recognition!
