SAOC is an affinity space for students and alumni who identify as Black, Indigenous, Latinx, Asian-American/Pacific Islander, Middle Eastern/North African, Sub-Saharan African, South Asian, and/or bi/multiracial. SAOC facilitates relationships between our students and alumni as well as the various racial, ethnic, cultural, and other communities we inhabit beyond Princeton.

Rooted in anti-racist, anti-colorist, anti-colonial, and intersectional practices, we are dedicated to the social, political, and professional development of our students and alumni as we all grow together.

This organization is open to all Princeton University students interested in supporting our organization’s mission, regardless of identity, such as race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected characteristics.

Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
