In addition to their love of learning and affection for their classmates, Princeton alumni maintain ties to the University by affiliation, for example, gender, ethnicity or special interest. Recognizing the importance of these ties, the University has hosted on-campus conferences in partnership with affiliated or affinity alumni groups. The first two conferences took place in the fall of 2006: "Coming Back and Looking Forward Conference for Black Princeton Alumni" and "Kaleidoscope: An Alumni Conference on Race and Community."
Alumni conferences celebrating the many faces of Princeton continue to take place regularly.
