Welcome, Tigers!
Princeton Club of Austin (PCA) membership is automatically granted to all undergraduate and graduate alumni, current students, parents and spouses in the greater Austin area.
Welcome from our President, September 2024
Hello Tigers!
We have an amazing extended community of Princeton alumni, parents, and students here in Central Texas. The greater Austin area continues to grow quickly, and we’re excited to welcome our newest arrivals. There are now 798 undergraduate & graduate alumni in our region, spanning classes from 1947 through 2024, as well as more than 20 current students hailing from Central Texas.
The PCA was chartered with the following goals:
To serve Princeton by providing interviews for all local undergraduate applicants
To serve the Austin community through volunteer service activities
To serve its members through social and educational activities
Last year, our all-star team of volunteer alumni interviewed 222 local undergrad applicants to Princeton! Our club organized more than 30 events including happy hours, outdoor activities, educational events, dinners and brunches, volunteer activities, and more. Last fall, PCA also launched our Tiger Mentor Program, where we paired nearly 50 alumni across generations based on industry and/or interests. In the spring, we enjoyed a waterfront lawn party cocktail hour, a Texas barbecue spread, and bluegrass music from an alumni band at the Annual Speaker Dinner. And in August, we brought back a past club tradition - a summer pool party!
We are excited to continue this terrific momentum - and enjoy the company of even more local alumni this year! Please browse through our website to learn how you can engage with the PCA. Our Club aims to offer a wide variety of activities that appeal to our diverse demographics, and we’re always eager for feedback, ideas and new volunteers. As new activities get added to the calendar, our team will send email announcements (make sure your contact info is up to date on TigerNet) and post on social media.
The PCA is an all-volunteer organization that depends exclusively on dues and donations to subsidize our events and administrative costs. Please consider becoming a dues-paying member of the Club by contributing at a level that meets your current budget.
I am excited to work with you and our leadership team to foster our lifelong connection with Princeton and look forward to seeing you at upcoming events. Let’s have an amazing year!
Go Tigers!
