Annual Dinner | October 23, 2015

The 2015 Annual Dinner was a great success, with a terrific speaker and record attendance.

A diverse group of alumni representing Princeton classes from 1954 all the way to 2015 gathered at Victor Hugo’s in Oak Cliff on a rainy Thursday evening. However, the weather did not deter any Tigers, as the group filled the venue to capacity for the sold out event.

Professor Lawrence Rosen, the William Nelson Cromwell professor of Anthropology at Princeton, was the featured speaker, delivering his presentation “A Brief Stroll Through an Arab City.” Professor Rosen’s perspective on the relevant and timely topic engaged everyone in attendance and sparked a lively follow-up discussion.
