Princetonians demonstrated incredible resilience in the face of the COVID-19 pandemic fighting the virus, pushing forward academically and growing stronger as a community, as shown in the year-in-review video above.
The video features the song “I won’t sleep soundly,” written by first-year student Molly Trueman after attending a Black Lives Matter rally in June, and arranged and performed by Trueman and the Princeton University Glee Club.
The year began with a drumbeat of academic and co-curricular events. Students returned from winter recess, taking final exams in January for the last time before a change in the academic calendar, and then participated in Wintersession classes, and then the start of the spring term.
