  • Gratitude

    May. 12, 2020

    We often say we're doing our jobs well when you don't know we're here. Thank you, Aditi and Maximo, for noticing we are here. We are sincerely touched to receive this acknowledgment. To all of our seniors, your last year is not what you've planned and is ending without your well-earned traditional celebrations. We know we'll see you again, and when you return we will be here to support every one of your reunion celebrations! - with gratitude, Facilities Operations

"Portraits on university campuses usually portray school founders, presidents and donors. But at Princeton University, portraits of blue-collar campus workers are now taking center stage. A new set of paintings are offering a fresh perspective on the working class, racial struggle and empowerment at the Ivy League school".
