Boxing as a Source of Skills and Friendship

Big cheers and kudos to Grace Shin '28 and others for reviving Princeton’s Boxing Club and for building community around boxing! When I was a freshman at a different university, I helped start the first women’s boxing club (still going strong today). Our nightly practices involving mile-long runs, footwork, boxing drills, and conditioning drew our tiny band of women together, leaving us stronger in and out of the ring. I still reflect fondly on the skills and friendships I made then and note with pride how well they have served me over the decades, including some surprising ways! I’m high-fiving you from here!
