as a student here. I have loved my freshman year at school. As of now, I play JV tennis and am in training to be an Outdoor Action leader in the fall. I also work in the Environmental Science Department. I am interested in politcs and environmental
science. In my spare time, I play squash and enjoy hanging out with friends.

I experienced reunions for the first time last year and it has already become my favorite Princeton tradition. I look forward to meeting many of you in the next few months. For a little about me, I am an aspiring Politics major and will be spending this summer in Beijing learning (or at least trying to learn) Chinese. On campus, I am a member of the USG, the JV Tennis team, and Ivy.

Jackie Thomas ’09:
I'm Jackie Thomas from Lawrenceville, New Jersey.

On campus I work at the art museum, tutor ESL at the YWCA, and am involved with Oxfam Princeton and Service-in-Style. I am also a member of the Princeton Tower Club.
Terry McGuirk ’08:
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, and went to The Westminster Schools from kindergarten through 12th grade. In high school I wrote for my school paper, played varsity basketball and golf, and was president of my junior class. I was thrilled the day I got my acceptance letter from Princeton, and have enjoyed my time on campus immensely. I'm now a junior at Princeton seeking a degree in Economics and a certificate in Finance, but I have taken a wide variety of courses in the Humanities. I'm a member of the University Cottage Club, I play club basketball, and I love playing golf at Springdale. In general, I'm a big sports fan and enjoy competing at anything with friends. Again, I can't wait to work for the class of 1977 for a great reunion.
Veronica Thew ’08:
My name is (Alexandra) Veronica Thew. Yes, the first name is Alexandra, but I've gone by the middle one for as long as I can remember. A current Junior in the Anthropology department, I am looking at careers in journalism and advertising (mainly...but who knows what will happen). I love to write, and have done film/video and photography since high school. On campus, I'm the Associate Editor of the Daily Princetonian's Street section, which takes up most of my spare time. However, I'm also goalkeeper for the women's club soccer team, and participate in various other groups, both journalism-related and otherwise. I'm from Delaware, but I hope to end up somewhere else...
