In Short: New Campus, Sachs Scholarship Winners

In December, the University broke ground on the new LAKE CAMPUS DEVELOPMENT, the first major campus expansion in West Windsor, south of Lake Carnegie. Plans for the site include 379 housing units near Washington Road for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers, slated to open in 2023, as well as a parking garage with more than 600 spaces and a geo-exchange facility to heat and cool buildings. The development also will add new homes for the varsity tennis, squash, and softball teams, reroute the cross-country course, and reconfigure playing fields for rugby and recreational sports.

Nathnael Mengistie ’22 and Sydney Hughes ’22 are recipients of the 2022 SACHS SCHOLARSHIP, named for Daniel Sachs ’60 and one of Princeton’s highest honors. Mengistie, a School of Public and International Affairs major, will pursue two master’s degrees at Oxford: one in international health and tropical medicine, and another in evidence-based social intervention and policy evaluation. Hughes, a chemical and biological engineering major, received the Sachs Global Scholarship and plans to spend two years at the Technical University of Munich, working on hydrogen fuel cell research.
