Hey all! I'm Charlie, a senior from Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the School of Public and International Affairs. I'm also pursuing certificates in Journalism and Musical Theater. 

On campus, I'm involved in The Daily Princetonian, Triangle Club, PUP (Princeton University Players), and Kesher. One of my favorite memories from my first year at Princeton was a snowball fight with my zee group vs our "rival" zee group.

The SPI 370 (Ethics and Public Policy) course really changed how I approach thinking about and talking about political topics. It was just such a fascinating class! I’d consider myself well versed at general academic requirements, but especially in the social sciences. I also know about a lot of niche minors and have friends in them (did you know we have a conducting minor in the music department?). Also, balancing time commitments – I've had to learn that the hard way. Oh, and how to be concise (that's a joke).

My advice for Yeh first-years is to relax! You're here for a reason, you deserve to be here, now the job is to make your next four(ish) years the most fulfilling as we can.
