I am delighted to greet you today as the University welcomes Princeton's Great Class of 2027 and celebrates the beginning of a new academic year.
One of the marvels of university life is the excitement that comes each fall when our classrooms, athletic fields, dining halls, and myriad other spaces across campus blossom with vibrant life and we welcome new members of our community.
I am so glad that you are here!
I realize that if the year's beginning can feel exhilarating and uplifting, so too can it feel bewildering or disconcerting.
It is often all of these things at once, and that combination will likely persist during your time here.
Indeed, when I speak to Princeton alumni about their education, the word they use most often is "transformative."
I would say that about my own undergraduate career at Princeton, and Anthony Romero said that about his time here.
I want it to be true of yours.
Transformation is a wonderful thing.
It's also very demanding.
