by Jared Flesher
On a warm fall day, the sound of a brassy fight song floats across campus as much of the university prepares for a football game.

Feature your CAL Research at Princeton Research Day!
The Office of Sustainability is collaborating with the organizers of
Princeton Research Day
to highlight
CAL
research. The event on May 10 is an opportunity for students, early career researchers, and artists to share their work with the community through talks, posters, performances, art exhibitions, demonstrations and digital presentations. Topics represent the range of research across the University, including the natural sciences, social sciences, engineering, and arts and humanities.
If your research explored the campus or community as a living lab,
apply
to PRD to have your research featured! Be sure to include “Campus as Lab” in your keywords so your work can be identified as CAL. Deadline for priority consideration is Friday, February 16. Students are encouraged to submit works-in-progress, as there will be an opportunity to update submissions to reflect the results of research that is ongoing through the spring.
