AN ALUMNI INITIATIVE

A MISSION FOR CHANGE

A YEAR OF CHANGE AND RECOGNITION

Dear Friends and Supporters:

PICS is a family of committed supporters: Board, alumni, current and former interns, and community partners, who seek to tackle important social issues and make a difference in our communities, whether on the local, national or international stage. Our undergraduate interns inspire us with their passion, creativity and enthusiasm for the work at hand and we are proud to support their efforts during their summer internships as they look to make a difference with important nonprofit organizations.

The PICS Board held a Strategic Retreat in the spring of 2013 and committed to the dynamic goal of doubling our nonprofit internship offerings to 150 per summer over the next three years in order to meet the growing demand by the undergraduate population. We can happily report that we exceeded our first-year goal and will have over 90 interns in the field for 2014.

We also saw the need to provide more internships in nonprofit programs in the Arts, and with the support of strongly engaged alumni and friends, are able to offer public service internships in 2014 at the following organizations:

- Career Transitions for Dancers - New York City Center – Fall for Dance Program - American Repertory Ballet - The Curtis Institute of Music - The Children’s Scholarship Fund

Recognizing the need to tell our story to more alumni and connect on a broader level, we have created a new website and e-newsletter this year. We have co-hosted a Reunions Speaker Panel to highlight some of the issues our internships address.

All of these achievements would not have been possible without YOU! You have answered the call as Alumni Partners to the interns, as creators of internships, and as supporters of our work. We thank you and look forward to sharing this PICS legacy with you.

OUR MISSIONTo develop and support, through active alumni involvement, paid summer internships in civic service for Princeton undergraduates that positively affect the public interest and the students themselves.

Back

OUR VISIONTo expand the PICS program to serve more Princeton students, exposing them to the rewards and challenges of careers in the non-profit sector, and promoting their continuing commitment to public service whatever their eventual career choices may be.

The community service internship program was established by the Princeton University Class of 1969 in the belief that community service is essential to the welfare of society and is inspired by the rich tradition of Princeton and Princetonians “in the Nation’s Service and in the Service of All Nations.” Recognizing the success of the initiative and desiring to leave a broad legacy, the program was renamed Princeton Internships in Civic Service (PICS). PICS has become a multi-class organization that provides the opportunity for students to explore potential careers in public service and the nonprofit sector. Princeton students bring their creativity, skills, and energy to their sponsoring nonprofit organizations, producing effective, meaningful work on significant projects of value to the organizations. The internships encompass a wide range of endeavors in national and international organizations, working in group advocacy, legal services, public policy, the environment, health and social services, community development, education, and the arts.

In May 2010, a partnership began with the University Pace Center for Civic Engagement. By partnering with the Pace Center, the program has expanded the internship opportunities available for students and at the same time also broadened the outreach to Princeton alumni with a commitment to civic engagement. PICS focuses its energies on development of internships and the continuing engagement of alumni in its expanding program.

PICS has placed over 800 interns in 565 different internships with 172 public service organizations for which over 146 alumni or spouses of alumni have served as mentors or board members.

Conceived in 1996 as an initiative of the Princeton Class of 1969 and born as the Class of 1969 Community Service Fund...

We have also provided seed grants to: Engineers Without Borders (Princeton Chapter); Princeton in Africa; Princ-eton in Asia (Southeast Asia Program); Princeton in Latin America; Princeton University Class of 1995 Summer Service Fund; and the Princeton University Summer Journalism Program

COMMUNITY PRAISE FOR PICS INTERNS

PICS remains the best internship program that I’ve ever worked with. This internship program always sends us highly qualified and smart interns who are hard workers and eager to learn and have always added value to our organization.

-Nelson Carrasquillo, Supervisor

Kate was terrific. She could and did do everything, from the mundane to the nearly miraculous. It was a pleasure to get to work with Kate and get to know her. She continued a tradition of excellence among the PICS volunteers who have spent their summers at TJC.

Epiphany School’s PICS intern was a godsend: smart, motivated, and always up for any challenge. Epiphany made major strides this summer thanks to [her] hard work. By the end of her internship, the faculty were begging her to drop out of Princeton. Sadly, we couldn’t persuade her. The new incoming students ... all now have a chance for a fresh start thanks to [her] hard work.

“In addition to providing the necessary financial support, we have been able to connect in a very meaningful way as Alumni Partners to the interns who serve in our local nonprofits. ... They are excellent mentees because they are so interested in learning from our experiences and re-flections—we feel that our ability to have some influence in their lives magnifies our own impact on the world.”

“Paul Haaga was a constant supportive presence throughout the summer, and he facilitated contact with important people in career fields I was considering. Paul’s commitment to nonprofit endeavors and the PICS program amazed me, but his dedication to the interns was stunning.”

“Cathy and I have truly enjoyed serving as PICS Alumni Partners for the 7 interns who now have worked with the folks at BHCHP. We have tried to ensure that each intern has had a stimulating experience each summer, which has given us an excuse to meet each intern relatively early in the internship, and to have a dinner or two as the internship progressed. ... we have experienced a stronger connection to Princeton and its undergraduates. Cathy and I often reflect together upon the many insights we have gained from serving in this role over the years, and how much younger in outlook (although perhaps not in body) we are as a result.”

“Chris Milton was my alumni partner. He and his wife believe steadfastly in the mission of the program, and they were so attuned to making sure that my experience was a wonderful one as well. ... The support and guidance that I received from my alumni partner made me feel so at-ease throughout the entire internship, and the Miltons were so kind and interested in the work that I was doing.”

Thank you to our 2013 ALUMNI PARTNERS:

Anne Charrier H’69Sue McSorley ’77“PICS interns consistently report that one of the advantages of a PICS internship is the opportunity it provides to work with an alumni partner as a guide or mentor or general adult presence to smooth the transition into a workplace and to provide advice and counsel about career paths and general work issues. What is less frequently reported, but no less meaningful, is the amazing impact that working with these in-spiring and inspired young people has on the alumni partners! I am confident that the LSNJ (Legal Services of NJ) interns who I’ve mentored in the last three summers have had a far greater impact on me – and have propelled me to greater ac-tion and energized my commitment to service, I am eternally grateful to PICS, to LSNJ and to these interns for the role they’ve played in my life.”

“The energy and enthusiasm of PICS interns is amazing. Their vitality and commitment are infec-tious – and we alumni partners receive the best part of the bargain. We get that rare opportunity of reconnecting to a younger generation so full of ideals. We are renewed in sharing their summer’s experience. And we take full measure of pride in what they accomplish.”

“ Lives

AN EXPERIENCE THAT ENDURES AFTER GRADUATION

I graduated in May, 2013 with a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and a briskness to my step, driven by an urgent desire to pursue a career in medicine.

As a new fish now in the sea of hospital scrubs every morning at Cornell Medical College, I have had plenty of cause to reminisce about my PICS internship in the Pediatric Orthopaedic Surgery Department of Children’s National Hospital. The last time I donned such scrubs for the first time, an orthopaedic surgeon had mistaken my role as a summer “intern” with the more official term for a first-year resident intern. Only a few days into the PICS program, the surgeon asked me to assist with an experimental spinal fusion surgery on a research pig. This particular hands-on learning experience is only a small fractional anecdote in what would pan out to be a truly remarkable summer of learning, inspiration, and educational development. As a result of the PICS program, I benefited from ten weeks of total immersion into the field of orthopaedics. By observing the commitment and rewards of residents and surgeons alike, my initial interest in medicine was irrevocably secured.

I intend to continue with lab research at Weill Cornell for two years while applying to medical school. I hope to don scrubs once more and matriculate in 2015. With implications for every field of clinical research, gene therapy is certainly an exciting field to continue the educational journey—in my case, a journey buoyed by the PICS experience.

MAKE YOUR COLLABORATE

Do you work in a nonprofit or support a nonprofit? If so, consider creating a PICS internship.

• Interns are paid a stipend in line with that of other University internship programs for an 8-10 week summer internship with a nonprofit organization. • The nonprofit organization applies in the fall to pics.princeton.edu and includes their description of the work. Our Board reviews for approval the proposed internships, which are then posted on our website in December for the student application process, which begins in January. The students are then interviewed by either the organization or a PICS alumni interviewer. • Once students receive and accept their offers, they go through an orientation process in the spring before the start of their summer internships. • Each student is also given an Alumni Partner to share the internship journey, which for many students is an introduction to the Princeton Alumni network and often results in an ongoing mentoring relationship. During the summer, the Alumni Partners follow their students’ progress through the summer and provide any support needed. • At a Fall Reception we welcome our interns back to campus and have them share their experiences with Board, Alumni and University staff. Students and their organizations also complete end-of-summer evaluations helping us to maintain this highly regarded and competitive program.

SUPPORT

The wide range of exciting opportunities offered by PICS to Princeton undergraduates is made possible through the generosity of our committed alumni and friends, as well as class partnerships and alumni club support.

PARTNERAlumni Partners have a remarkable impact on our summer interns and receive the benefit of experiencing the summer journey through the eyes of a young adult. Many of our Alumni Partners maintain lifelong relationships with their students and find their own connection to Princeton wonderfully invigorated.
