Life at Princeton
At Princeton, employees belong to a community of individuals who each plays an important role to further the University’s mission of advancing learning through scholarship, research, and teaching to serve the nation and the world. Commitment to the mission is our priority, and we value respect, teamwork, and a workplace culture that is collaborative, diverse, inclusive, and welcoming.

Inclusive Princeton
At Princeton, we are “In the Nation’s Service and the Service of Humanity.” When we speak of humanity, we mean “all members of the human community” as described by Princeton alumna and Supreme Court Justice Sonya Sotomayor at Alumni Day in 2014. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are central to who we are and how we impact society. We seek individuals who bring curiosity and a diversity of viewpoints and cultures, and who can share their exceptional ability and promise with those they serve. No matter where you reside within the University, we encourage you to bring your whole self to Princeton, which enables Princeton to achieve its mission and reach its true potential.

Employee Resource Groups
Nearly half of Princeton University employees engage in one or more of Princeton’s employee resource groups (ERGs). These volunteer, employee-led organizations are comprised of professionals from across the University who come together based on shared interests, experiences, and/or identities. ERGs work to create a more inclusive environment and sense of belonging within the University while also remaining engaged with external communities.
Membership and participation in all ERGs are open to all employees, regardless of identity. Participating is an excellent way to connect, learn, build ally-ship, and grow at work.
