What's new at PAW Online: Oct. 8, 2012

Published in the Sept. 19, 2012, Issue

The cover of PAW’s Oct. 10 issue features a familiar face and an important piece of news: President Shirley Tilghman plans to step down at the end of the academic year, her 12th at the University’s helm. Read more about Tilghman’s announcement in Campus Notebook and the editor’s letter.

A 17-member committee of trustees, students, faculty, and staff is scheduled to meet later this month to begin the search for Princeton’s 20th president. PAW will provide updates on the search in the magazine and at PAW Online.
