The Kaleidoscope
Greetings Everyone,
I hope you have had a wonderful start to your week and a nice
weekend! I had the pleasure of attending some of the Alumni
Day events over the weekend and walked away so encouraged
and inspired by the stories of our alumni as they shared the im-
pact of their Princeton degree. We are currently engaged in ways
to create more connections between current grad students and
alumni, and we hope that you take advantage of these wonderful
opportunities to connect. The ADI team is excited to continue to
support you in your current grad experience and will be even
more excited to bring you back to campus when you have fin-
ished your degree!
On another note, I want to highlight the opportunity to become a
Diversity Fellow with the ADI team (see pg. 5 for m ore
details). We have lots of fun as a team and are looking to bring on
a couple of additional advanced graduate students who have
great ideas and want to join us in creating a more inclusive grad-
uate student community. One exciting new change will be the
addition of an NYC fellow (Erin Flowers), who will be dedicated
to creating programs and building community in the NYC area.
We will also be looking for a new Philly area Diversity Fellow as
well. If you are interested in becoming a diversity fellow, apply
now!
Cheers to a wonderful and productive rest of your week!
All the best,
Dean Miller

On Enjoying Grad School A love that dare not speak its name
By Briallen Hopper
I loved my time in grad school, and I’ve never regretted going.
This was a much easier thing for me to admit last year, when I was a contingent writing instructor with a Ph.D. in literature who had giv-en up on the tenure-track job market after five years of failure (three years of interviews, two years of nothing) and then spent the next five years in a holding pattern, trying to turn my meaningful but precarious job into some kind of career.
I know as deeply as anyone that grad school guarantees nothing. But that didn’t retroactively sour my good experience. Instead, it inten-sified my memory of the sweetness. Even my obligatory piece of anonymous viral quit lit in The Chronicle was a love letter to lost grad-school joys. "I’m giving myself free rein to hate ‘the market,’ " I wrote , pseudonymously, in these pages back in 2010, "but I will never trash talk the memory of graduate school: the way it feels to get caught up in conversation, the way students surprise and delight you, the way an adviser’s kind comments melt you like chocolate, the way your name looks in print, the way brilliant people can sum up a seminar in a sentence. In the words of Ira Gershwin and the voice of Fred Astaire, ‘No, they can’t take that away from me.’ "
During my decade as a failed scholar, refusing to disavow my love of
grad school felt like a kind of necessary if perverse perseverance. It
meant: I’m not one of those obnoxious people who believes in aca-
demia just because it happened to work out for me. It meant: The
years of my youth were not just a means to an end.
