The Princeton Prize in Race Relations is a Princeton University awards program that recognizes high school students for outstanding work in advancing the cause of race relations in their schools or communities.(www.princeton.edu/PrincetonPrize.) First launched in 2003, Princeton currently offers this awards program in (10) ten cities across the United States. Ultimately, the goal is to expand the program nationwide.†
PCSC participated in the program for the first time in 2006, when it awarded the Princeton Prize to Gabriela Olguin, a student at South Los Angeles Area New High School No. 1. In 2007, PCSC awarded the Princeton Prize went to Josh Miller, a senior at Santa Monica High School.
Bringing the Princeton Prize program to Los Angeles took the vision, dedication and hard work of the PCSC Princeton Prize Committee- its alumni volunteers and its then committee co-chairs. The committee's goal in the upcoming years is to expand the reach of the Princeton Prize program in Los Angeles by having even more area high schools participate in the selection process. If you are interested in volunteering or in getting involved with PCSC's Princeton Prize Committee, just contact the committee co-chairs, Erica David at eadavid2003@yahoo.com or Emma Soichet at emmanuelle.soichet@gmail.com.
