Effie Rentzou, professor of French and Italian, has been awarded the title of Chevalier in l’Ordre des Palmes Académiques. A prestigious decoration awarded by the French Government, the Order of the French Academic Palms honors Rentzou’s contributions to culture and the arts.

According to the American Society of the French Academic Palms, the award “recognizes those who have rendered eminent service” to French education and culture. “[T]his esteemed distinction acknowledges their merits, talents and exemplary activities.”

Princeton seniors Alice McGuinness and Nathalie Verlinde and University of Oxford student Jack Nunn have been named recipients of the Daniel M. Sachs Class of 1960 Graduating Scholarship, one of Princeton University’s highest awards.

The prize recognizes the best non-fiction book on international affairs published in English. It is awarded annually by the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

Former Federal Reserve Board Chair Ben S. Bernanke and current Fed Governor Lisa D. Cook will deliver keynote addresses at the 13th annual conference of the Julis-Rabinowitz Center for Public Policy & Finance (JRCPPF).

There are certain things considered standard for first-year Princeton students: extra-long bed sheets, all-seasons attire for cross-campus treks, a laptop. But for some lucky students enrolled in freshman seminars with an international travel component, add to that list a passport and a healthy dose of wanderlust.

Find Opportunities Using the Global Arc

Intern & Study Abroad

A rewarding way to enrich and broaden a Princeton education can mean going beyond its gates.

Princeton’s study abroad programs give students the opportunity to expand and deepen their undergraduate education by studying or working overseas. By absorbing and adapting to a different culture, learning its language and befriending its people, students learn a great deal about themselves and gain a more sophisticated view of the world.

A World of Possibilities

Princeton accepts credit from more than 100 programs and universities in 40 countries . Students can pursue a wide range of studies internationally. For instance, they might study public policy at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, engineering at the University of Oxford in England or neuroscience at the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.

Paying for Study Abroad

Princeton’s full-coverage  financial aid program  ensures that every student has an equal opportunity to study abroad. Students who receive financial aid continue to receive it when participating in approved programs during the semester or year. Even those who don’t normally receive financial aid have access to external and internal  grants, fellowships and special funds  to help them meet some of the costs of overseas activities, including summer language study, international service programs and thesis research.

Internships Abroad

Princeton also partners with governments and private industries around the globe to arrange summer jobs and internships. Princeton students have taken jobs and internships as bank tellers in Paris, law clerks in Germany and television production assistants in Thailand. If a Princeton student is offered an unpaid internship that lasts more than eight weeks in the summer, University funding often helps pay for their expenses.

If you had told Chan, a native New Yorker, that his Princeton education would include studying fjords in the South Island of New Zealand, he might not have believed you. But a gut instinct and some helpful advice from the Office of International Programs were all it took for him to decide on a spring semester abroad at the University of Otago.
