Alumni
Princeton alumni are everywhere you look in the arts – on screen, stage and page, in galleries and museums, behind the camera and curtain, and in the roles of producer, curator, choreographer, and much more. Many others have brought their rich experiences and valuable skills learned through the arts into a broad range of professions. Alumni strongly support the Lewis Center, frequently return to campus as guest artists and speakers, and serve as resources to current students.
