Princeton's valedictorian Kyle Berlin, a Spanish and Portuguese major from Arroyo Grande, California, delivers his remarks. A member of Rockefeller College, Berlin was awarded the George B. Wood Legacy Junior Prize in 2017, the Freshman First Honor Prize in 2015 and the Shapiro Prize for Academic Excellence in 2014-15.

A transcript of his address is available here.

This spring Cara Zampino ’17 joined Asymptote, an international journal for literature in translation, to help develop teaching material on pieces published by the magazine. Asymptote’s latest educational guide features Zampino’s first lesson plan, “Race and Cultural Studies: De/Re/Constructing Race Through Performance,” designed for upper-level high school and college classrooms.

A photo by SPO alum Olivia Adechi ’16 titled I Know Their Name, Chímaira I, 2014 is currently on display as part of “HYPHEN”, an exhibit located in the upper and lower hyphens, or connecting corridors, of Chancellor Green. The photos by Princeton students and recent graduates will focus on the University’s diverse student population, their experiences at home and their lives at Princeton.

Cecilia Hsu, Peter Schmidt and Joe McGrath have recently been selected as international Streicker Fellows by Princeton’s Office of International Programs. In total, fifteen Princeton undergraduates have been selected and will pursue internships and conduct research abroad this summer.

The Streicker International Fellows Fund was established in 2015 to provide undergraduate students the opportunity to carry out substantive research or educational projects while immersed in a foreign culture.
