Each fall, the Graduate School welcomes new graduate students at a series of receptions at Wyman House, the residence of the dean of the Graduate School. At this year's first G1 reception, Dean Rodney Priestley and the Graduate School staff were delighted to meet more than 40 graduate students from across the University.

Many thanks to Graduate Student Government (GSG) officers Natalie Chung, communications director; Kevin Zhang, special events officer; and Jan Ertl, president, for coming out to welcome new students. (Slide 4, L-R)

At every reception, as attendees gather in a circle to introduce themselves, Dean Priestley issues a challenge: Will anyone be able to remember everyone’s name after all the introductions are complete? At this year's first reception, Easton Singer, a first-year computer science student, astounded everyone by recalling nearly all the names of the 40+ people in the circle. AMAZING! (slide 5)

We also had our youngest-ever attendee. Congrats, mama! (Slide 6)

Thank you to all G1s who have signed up for one of the two remaining receptions. (Pro tip: Start sharpening your memory skills...)

If you haven't signed up for a reception yet, please go to Canvas to grab one of the few remaining spots.

If you have registered for a reception but can no longer attend, please let us know so we can give your spot to someone on the waitlist.

And a reminder for all graduate students: Watch your email throughout the year for invitations to gatherings at Wyman House and other Graduate School events. Hope to see you at something soon!

Princeton University graduate students: Now's the time to register for the "Thriving as an International Scholar" professional development learning cohort. All Princeton graduate students are encouraged to join this GradFUTURES Learning Cohort, which explores the opportunities and challenges of scholarly careers in our interconnected world.

In fall 2025, GradFUTURES, the Graduate School's professional development team, launched “Thriving as an International Scholar." The series was so successful that the Graduate School is bringing it back in fall 2026. This year's broader Graduate School theme, “Thriving as a Global Community of Scholars,” underscores the importance of fostering a vibrant global graduate community. Such a community is critical to the Graduate School's mission of preparing the world's most promising emerging scholars — and enriches the educational experience and scholarship of every Princeton graduate student, both domestic and international.

Two graduate students who participated in last year's cohort, Erica Passoni, Ph.D. candidate in German and Lynn H., Ph.D. candidate in atmospheric & oceanic sciences, have shared their perspectives on the series.

In a letter welcoming graduate students to the start of the 2026-2027 academic year, Graduate School Dean Rodney Priestley shares a wide range of resources available to graduate students to support their Princeton journey, from one-on-one meetings with Dean Priestley to mentoring opportunities with peers and Princeton University alumni. Priestley also explains the Graduate School's theme for the year, Thriving as a Global Community of Scholars.

“With your broad range of perspectives, experiences and backgrounds, you challenge one another, inspire one another, and push each other to think differently as you all seek new knowledge,” Priestley wrote in his letter. “The vibrancy of our community benefits every Princeton graduate student, domestic and international students alike.”

The Princeton Graduate School welcomed hundreds of new graduate students on August 26, at an assembly kicking off a two-day Orientation. Graduate School staff cheered as students arrived at Richardson Auditorium to hear remarks from Dean of the Graduate School Rodney Priestley, Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber, associate deans of the Graduate School, alumni leaders, students and faculty.

Eisgruber said that graduate students are “critical to every aspect of what this university does, from teaching to learning to research and to service. You bring tremendous creativity, diversity and talent from throughout the world, and I am so happy that you are here.”

Priestley announced at the beginning of the program that the Graduate School's theme for the academic year is “Thriving as a Global Community of Scholars,” and added that belonging to such a community benefits domestic and international students alike. (Image 2)

“Ultimately, being a thriving global community of scholars is about impact,” Priestley said. “You have joined a community that spans disciplines, cultures, and continents. Pursue your work boldly. And help us demonstrate what a thriving global community of scholars can achieve.”

Students also heard from academic and administrative deans who encouraged students to take advantage of the many kinds of support available, followed by a Q&A panel of faculty and graduate students, who offered thoughts on success in graduate school.

The proceedings concluded in Richardson Auditorium with welcomes from Princeton Alumni leaders and the singing of the University's alma mater, Old Nassau.

“While you're joining Princeton today as graduate students, you're also building a lifelong relationship with a truly global community, said Natalie Berkman*18, president of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni (APGA). (Image 6)

Earlier in the week, participants in the Graduate Scholars Program pre-Orientation Retreat heard Raghuveer Vinukollu, who received his Ph.D. in civil and environmental engineering in 2011, share reflections on graduate school and his industry career (Image 9)

Davis International Center orientation for new international graduate students started with a warm welcome to our Global Community of Scholars.

We’re glad you’re here. 🧡🖤

POV: You've been in Princeton University Graduate School Orientation for two days, your head is spinning with new information and new people, and then dinner gives off Harry Potter vibes.

The G1s gathered for dinner in historic Procter Hall on the grounds of the Graduate College on the last night of Orientation, and yes, the Gothic setting is pretty spectacular. Add delicious food and a dining team that makes everyone feel at home, and you have a great way to kick off grad school.

Welcome to Procter, G1s!

Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni, does this bring back memories?
