一、关于普林斯顿大学
Princeton University has a longstanding commitment to service, reflected in Princeton’s informal motto — Princeton in the nation’s service and the service of humanity — and exemplified by the extraordinary contributions that Princetonians make to society.
The value of service is central to the mission of Princeton as a liberal arts university. It infuses the passions and pursuits of our students, faculty, staff and alumni, and is essential to how Princetonians serve the public good.
The University has reinforced its commitment to helping students and alumni use their educations to not only benefit themselves but also society more broadly. We push students, faculty and alumni to think about how their research, education and lives will benefit the nation, the world and humanity, and give them the support and resources to make it happen.
Princetonians pursue service in many ways, such as through a profession, vocation or role.
With innovation and purpose, our students work with each other to propose and pursue civic engagement projects throughout their time at Princeton. Ideas for engagement arise through classes and research, student organizations and campus activities, and many have a home in the Pace Center for Civic Engagement.
Our alumni engage in service across the world, participating in civic society and leading meaningful lives connected to a larger purpose and impact. Every year, more than 15,000 alumni volunteer to serve Princeton and University-sponsored projects. Alumni can serve with their class, regional associations, affiliated groups, the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni and more. Annually at Alumni Day, top honors go to an undergraduate alumnus and a graduate alumnus for their service to society.
Princeton-sponsored service programs offer positive ways for students, faculty and staff to engage with the larger community.
普林斯顿大学长期以来都致力于服务，这反映在普林斯顿大学“为美国和人类服务”非正式的校训中，也从普林斯顿大学为社会所做的非凡贡献中得到了证明。
作为一所文科大学，服务的价值对普林斯顿大学是十分重要的。服务的理念渗透在学生、教员、员工和校友们的激情与追求中，在普林斯顿人为公共服务的方式中格外重要。
普林斯度年大学加强其对帮助学生和校友利用教育的承诺，让他们不仅可以给自己带去好处，也可以在更加广泛的层面上为社会服务。我们鼓励学生、教员和校友思考，鼓励他们思考如何用研究、教育和生命造福于美国，造福于世界。不仅如此，我们还他们提供支持和资源，促使这一切发生。
普林斯顿人在追求服务上有多种方式，比如通过职业、使命或者角色。
我们的学生有创新精神，目的性强，他们通过合作，积极推出和追求公民参与项目。参与的理念来源于课堂和研究，源自学生组织和校园活动，并且许多都诞生于公民参与佩斯中心。
我们的校友在世界各地服务，他们参与公民社会，引领着富有意义的生活，以此实现更大的目标，产生更大的影响。每年，超过1万5千名校友自愿为普林斯顿大学及其赞助项目服务。服务的途径包括班级、区域协会、附属组织和普林斯顿毕业生校友学会等等。每年在校友节，学校都会给本科生校友和研究生校友颁发最高荣誉，表彰他们对社会的服务。
普林斯顿赞助的服务项目为学生、教员和员工参与更大社区提供了积极的方式。

Humanities
Scholarship in the humanities forms and deepens us as individuals and as contributors to society. At a time when technology offers dazzling new possibilities and cultures collide in ways both exciting and dangerous, the arts and humanities provide crucial insight into what matters in life, into the character of civilization, and into the capacity — and the limits — of people’s ability to understand societies different from their own.
