美国一流大学年度捐赠的理念与实践--普林斯顿大学的经验

美国一流大学年度捐赠的理念与实践--普林斯顿大学的经验

2021年第3期高教探索Higher Education Exploration美国一流大学年度捐赠的理念与实践----普林斯顿大学的经验牛欣欣洪成文摘要:年度捐赠是美国一流大学多层次捐赠体系的根基。

年度捐赠承担捐赠人拓展、升级和维系的职能,不仅为一流大学建设筹集了相当数额的非限定用途的资金,更在培育大学捐赠文化、实现年度捐赠向大额捐赠延伸、提高人才培养和服务质量等方面发挥出重要的隐性价值。

普林斯顿大学年度捐赠项目实施成效显著,形成了以核心理念引领、制度化支持、专业化运作、大众化参与和层次化推进为特征的成熟运作机制,其年度捐赠的系统性、对捐赠文化培育的重视,以及以(潜在)捐赠人为中心的理念,能为我国大学强化和优化年度捐赠工作提供借鉴。

关键词:年度捐赠;一流大学;普林斯顿大学;运作经费来源多样化是世界一流大学的典型特征。

美国一流大学筹款历史悠久,殖民地时期的学院自创建起就面临资金匮乏的困境,由此形成的多元化资金来源模式一直延续至今。

年度捐赠是美国一流大学在筹款实践中发展形成的多样化筹款项目中的一种。

学校每年面向包括校友、学生家长、高年级学生等在内的大学主要利益相关者和友好人士,募集不限定用途的捐赠基金。

尽管与大宗筹款运动相比,年度捐赠在募捐额度和社会影响力等方面不占优势,但年度捐赠具有募捐对象广、捐赠起点低、连续性强的特点,构成了美国一流大学整个捐赠体系的根基。

年度捐赠的核心价值主要体现在三个方面:一是培育大学捐赠文化,为潜在捐赠人完成首次捐赠提供支持,实现捐赠人“拓展”;二是在年度捐赠人中识别出潜在的大额捐赠人,实现捐赠人“升级”;三是作为校友及家长等大学核心利益相关群体对大学认同度和满意度的一个重要表征,倒逼大学提高人才培养质量和服务质量。

由此,年度捐赠的价值绝不仅仅体现在显性的年度捐赠资金筹措上,它同时具备重要的隐性价值。

普林斯顿大学是美国最古老的大学之一。

在“美国新闻与世界报道”(U.S.News&World Report)发布的2020大学排行榜中,普林斯顿大学位列全球最佳大学排行榜第8位,全美大学排行榜第1名,同时也位居全美最佳本科教学排行榜、全美最有价值高校排行榜榜首o[1]普林斯顿大学在筹资工作上的独特之处不仅在于在筹资总额上表现不俗,在年度捐赠方面,尤其是在校友捐赠参与率上一直有卓越表现,明显优于其他顶尖大学。

普林斯顿大学(Princeton University),简称普林斯顿,是世界著名私立研究型大学,位于美国新泽西州的普林斯顿市,是八所常春藤盟校之一。

学校于1746年在新泽西州伊丽莎白镇创立,是美国殖民时期第四所成立的高等教育学院,当时名为“新泽西学院”,1747年迁至新泽西州,1756年迁至风景优美的普林斯顿市(位于费城和纽约之间),并在1896年正式改名为“普林斯顿大学”。

虽然其旧校名是“新泽西州学院”,但它与今天位于邻近的尤因镇(Ewing Township)的“新泽西州学院”没有任何关联。

它最初是长老制的教育机构,但学校从没有跟任何宗教机构有直接的联系。

水均益专访普林斯顿大学校长

水均益专访普林斯顿大学校长

节目预告:干细胞研究,攻克绝症的希望,美国前总统里根的家人奔走呼吁,轮椅之上的超人也为此不断疾呼。

他们从中看到了生的希望。

里夫:“干细胞就是医药界的未来。

”她,全球顶尖的分子生物学家,告诉世界:“干细胞研究前景远大,尤其是针对那些我们现在还医治不了的疾病。

”但这项研究却在美国总统选举中引发了争议,布什克里各执一端,争辩不休。

科学研究的道德界限到底在哪里?雪莉·蒂尔曼普林斯顿大学的第一位女校长,人类基因图谱破译的功臣,做客高端访问,接受水均益专访,讲述科学与道德的冲突,解释干细胞研究的广阔前景。

他(里根)曾经是两届美国总统。

曾经在冷战的最后岁月中叱咤风云。

(里根同期声:戈尔巴乔夫先生打开了一扇门,戈尔巴乔夫先生推倒了一堵墙。

)他曾经用自己的智慧和幽默打动美国人。

(里根竞选同期声:我不会在这次大选中拿年龄问题做文章,我不会为了政治目的攻击对手年轻和经验不足。

)然而到了晚年,他却蹒跚在老年痴呆症的病痛中,他的亲人期望他重新获得健康,始终在寻觅新的治疗方法,一项科学研究让他们看到了那线希望。

他(超人里夫)曾经拥有强健的体魄。

也拥有冒险家的精神。

(电影镜头——超人接住空中落下的小姐:别紧张,小姐,我接到你了。

小姐惊恐万分:你接到我了?拿谁接到你了呢?)他演绎了超人,然而一次意外却让他从星光灿烂的大道上瘫痪在轮椅上,他曾经沮丧,曾经想到过自杀,但是,他依然对生命的奇迹怀有希望,多年来,他一直在为推进一项科学研究发出呼吁,相信科学能够创造生命的奇迹。

(里夫同期:干细胞研究已经能治愈瘫痪的动物,干细胞就是医药界的未来。

请大家都挺身而出支持这项研究。

)是的,干细胞研究,让许许多多的人,看到了未来的希望,这项研究得成功将大大提高人的健康质量。

也许正因为如此,作为科学议题,第一次闯入了美国的总统大选,成为总统候选人辩论的重要问题。

布什和克里对干细胞研究分歧明显,辩论观点泾渭分明,有评论说,关于干细胞研究的政策已经成了影响选情走向的重要因素之一。

普林斯顿大学校长2018毕业演讲:读书无用论是最大的谎言(中英文)

普林斯顿大学校长2018毕业演讲:读书无用论是最大的谎言(中英文)

演讲稿英文版:In a few minutes, all of you will march through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do, it is my privilege to say a few words about the path that lies ahead. It is indeed a privilege, and also a joy, to address you, for all of you who graduate today have accomplished something genuinely important and worth celebrating.You have completed a demanding course of study. It will transform your life in many ways. It will expand the range of vocations you can pursue, increase your knowledge of the world, deepen your capacity to appreciate societies and cultures, and provide a foundation for lifelong learning.So we celebrate here on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall, as do other college communities in courtyards, auditoria, arenas, and stadia around the country. Graduates toss caps in the air and professors applaud. Families cheer and holler enthusiastically. Yet, even as we do so, we see a strange trend from columnists, bloggers, think tanks, and politicians. In essays, books, and speeches, some of them suggest that too many students are earning college degrees.Too many college graduates: that is a very odd claim, because the economic evidence for the value of a college degree is overwhelming. For example, in 2014, economists Jaison Abel and Richard Deitz of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York estimated the average annual return on investment from a college degree, net of tuition paid and lost earnings, at between 9 percent and 16 percent per year for a lifetime (1). For the last two decades, the return on investment has hovered at the high end of that range, around 15 percent per year.By comparison, the historical average return on investments in the American stock market is around 7 percent per year. That is why my friend Morton Shapiro, the president of Northwestern University and a leading educational economist, says that for most people, the decision to invest in a college degree will be “the single best financial decision they make in a lifetime,”even if judged purely in terms of financial return on investment.A degree conveys many other benefits as well. For example, college graduates report higher levels of happiness and job satisfaction, even after controlling for income. College graduates are healthier than non-graduates. They are more likely to exercise, more likely to vote,and have higher levels of civic engagement. To these pragmatic considerations we should add the joys that come with an increased capacity to appreciate culture, the arts, the world’s diversity, and the inherent beauty of extraordinary ideas.The numbers I have quoted are not specific to Princeton. On the contrary, they are averages over all four-year degrees, in all fields, from all colleges in the United States. Think about that for a moment: on average, all degrees in all fields from all colleges generate an annual return between 9 percent and 16 percent, and this return is supplemented by additional benefits to health, happiness, and quality of life. How could anyone think we need fewer college graduates?Some people answer that you can learn a trade without getting a college degree. Welders, they observe, can make more money than many college graduates. That’s true. There are, of course, reasons why you might want to get a college degree even if you plan to become a welder. You might worry, for example, about what happens if technology renders your trade obsolete, or arthritis leaves you unable to practice it, or you want to move into management or explore other interests. A college degree equips you to respond to the changes —to yourself, and to the world —that inevitably occur over a lifetime.Still, if pundits and politicians were saying only that America needs better vocational training, I could agree wholeheartedly. It would be terrific if more people could get the training they need to practice a trade. But at the same time it would also be great if more people, not fewer, could receive the extraordinary benefits that come with a college degree.So I ask again: why would anyone think we need fewer college graduates? I think there is a simple answer. Education requires high-quality teaching. Teaching, in turn, depends upon skilled labor, which is expensive. As a result, the up-front cost for education is real, large, and easy to measure. The returns are equally real and even larger, but they accrue over a lifetime, are hard to measure, and vary from person to person. It is tempting to wish that you could get more certainty at lower cost.The people who call for fewer degrees yield to that temptation. They emphasize the short-term. They focus almost entirely on the price of college and on the salaries students might earn in their first jobs. That is a mistake.A college education is a long-term investment. It enables graduates to develop and adapt, and it pays off spectacularly in the long run. The idea that we would be better off with fewer college graduates is a short-term swindle, a swindle that will cheat America’s young people, weaken the nation’s economy, and undermine our future. We need to have the confidence to invest in our young people and to ensure that a college education is accessible and affordable for students from all backgrounds and financial circumstances.I hope that all of you who graduate today, and who experience the power of education in your own lives, will become advocates for the value of higher education in our society. There is a national conversation taking place right now about the value of higher education, and we need your voice in that conversation. We need you, in other words, to help others to achieve in the future what you achieve today.How can you help more students earn college degrees? Here are three suggestions. First, become advocates for the importance of completion rates. A college education produces a tremendous return—if you get the degree. Returns are much lower if you start college but do not get the degree. The highest default rates on student loans do not involvecollege graduates with big debts. They instead involve students with small debts who never finish college and so never get the earnings boost that comes with a degree.A few moments ago, we awarded an honorary degree to President Barbara Gitenstein. Over her nearly two decades leading The College of New Jersey, she raised the College’s four-year graduation rate from 58 percent to 75 percent, a number that puts TCNJ’s on-time completion rate among the top ten in the nation for public colleges and universities. By raising TCNJ’s graduation rate, President Gitenstein has improved the lives of thousands of students who might have left school with debt but no degree. Be an advocate for higher education leaders like Bobby Gitenstein, and for colleges like TCNJ that commit to improving completion rates.Second, support America’s public institutions of higher education. State subsidies for public colleges and universities have declined precipitously, and state funding represents an increasingly small share of the budget at public research universities. At the University of Michigan, for example, state funding now accounts for only about 9 percent of total revenues. In the 1950s, by contrast, that number was 80 percent. Tuition at state universities has risen notbecause they have increased their expenditures per student, but because state legislatures have hollowed out their other sources of support.America depends on its public colleges and universities. They are engines of social mobility and innovation. Princeton and other private universities make essential contributions to the nation and the world —but there is no way that we could ever replace America’s great public institutions. They are a national treasure, and I urge you to support them.Third, stand up for the importance of enabling more students from low-income families to earn college degrees. Princeton’s Great Class of 2018 graduates today as the most socioeconomically diverse class in the 272-year history of this University. You will not hold that record for long. Other classes already at Princeton will break your record. Our graduate programs are likewise drawing upon new sources of talent: this spring we admitted the most socioeconomically diverse class of doctoral students in Princeton University’s history.At Princeton we believe in socioeconomic diversity because we know that to achieve excellence as a University and as a nation we must drawtalent from every sector of society. We know, too, that a Princeton degree is a rocket-booster for students seeking socioeconomic mobility. If we want to heal the divisions that inequality has produced in this country, we must ensure that students from low-income backgrounds receive the educations they need to develop their abilities and contribute to our society.As I look out at our extraordinary class of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree recipients, I take pride in your excellence and your diversity, and I am excited about the contributions you will make in the years ahead. The world needs more college degrees, not fewer. We need more celebrations like the one we hold today, with more proud families and happy graduates ready to go out and make a positive difference in the world. All of us on this platform are thrilled to be a part of your celebration. We applaud your achievements. We send our best wishes as you begin the adventures that lie ahead, and we look forward to welcoming you back to this campus on future visits. To the Great Class of 2018 and all of our graduates, congratulations!演讲稿中文版:几分钟后,作为这所大学新一批的毕业生,你们都会走出校门。

王光亚在普林斯顿大学的演讲开场白

王光亚在普林斯顿大学的演讲开场白

王光亚在普林斯顿大学的演讲开场白女士们、先生们:晚上好。

很荣幸应邀到普林斯顿大学参加你们的研讨会。

对我本人、我的同事及许多中国人来讲,普林斯顿大学的名字早已是耳熟能详。

她的历史比这个国家还长,从这个校园里走出了美国第28任总统伍德罗·威尔逊、伟大科学家爱因斯坦、著名诗人T.S.艾略特等众多杰出人物。

正如前总统克林顿先生在1996年普大建校250周年时所说:“在美国历史上的每一个紧要关头,普林斯顿大学及其师生都发挥了关键作用。

”令人高兴的是,在座诸位对中国事务都抱有研究兴趣。

虽然我们两国地理上相距万里,但在日常生活中却非常相近。

好莱坞影片、麦当劳快餐成了许多中国人生活中的内容。

而中国加工的服装、日用品也天天伴随着美国人民。

我希望通过今天的交流,能增进在座诸位对中国和中国外交政策的了解,为未来彼此的友谊与合作锦上添花。

Ladies and Gentlemen,Good evening.It is an honor for me to be invited to your seminar tonight. For me, for my colleagues and many other Chinese, Princeton has long been a familiar name. With a history longer than the country, it has produced many outstanding people, Woodrow Wilson, the 28th US President, Albert Einstein, the great scientist, and T. S. Eliot, the famous poet, to name but a few. As the former President Bill Clinton said in 1996 in celebration of the 250 anniversary of Princeton: "At every pivotal moment in American history, Princeton, its leadership, its students have played a crucial role."I am more pleased to learn that all of you have a keen interest in China. Though our two countries are geographically far apart, we have lots in common. While many Chinese enjoy Hollywood movies and McDonald's fast food, many Americans find that their clothes and daily necessities are made in China. I hope that today's seminar will help you gain a better understanding of China and its foreign policy, thus further deepening our friendship and cooperation.保持农历新年的核心价值观。

普林斯顿大学如何走向辉煌

普林斯顿大学如何走向辉煌

普林斯顿大学如何走向辉煌大学走向国际一流是否要学科齐全规模超大,普林斯顿大学的发展或许能够给大学领导们的抉择带来有益的启示。

本文将围绕普林斯顿大学发展的历史、规模、业绩、思路做些探讨。

一、普林斯顿的历史普林斯顿大学始建于1746年,当时几位长老会牧师对哈佛和耶鲁在北美启蒙运动中所采取的立场不满,决定另起炉灶,新成立的这所院校就叫做“新泽西学院”,校址选在新泽西的伊利莎白,它是英国在北美创办的第四个学院,也是美国第4所最老的大学。

一年后迁往纽瓦克,1756年,又从纽瓦克迁到普林斯顿小镇,此时的学校规模很小,只有一幢名叫“纳索堂”(又译拿骚楼”的大楼)。

1896年,学校正式改名为普林斯顿大学。

四年后,即1900年普林斯顿大学建立研究生院。

1902年,伍德·威尔逊(后成为美国总统)就任校长,开始了一系列重大的改革,开设荣誉课程、实行导师制。

第二次世界大战以后,以本科生教育质量著称的普大发展迅猛,到70年代末巳跻身全美最好的研究性大学之列。

二、普林斯顿大学的规模在“常春藤”盟校中,普林斯顿大学学生人数不多,目前在校学生人数约6400人,其中本科生约4600人,研究生约1800人。

学校的学生来自全美50个州和55个国家,其中海外学生占5%,他们主要来自加拿大、中国、新加坡、英国和德国。

教师1100人,其中教授440位,都是各自学科的带头人。

普林斯顿大学面积也很小,只有清华的四分之一。

三、普林斯顿大学的业绩普林斯顿大学位于纽约和费城之间的一座与众不同的乡村都市,那里到处绿地丛丛,洋溢着一派和平、生气勃勃的气氛。

它的世界一流大学地位是勿容置疑的,拥有包括纳什在内的30名诺贝尔奖得主,爱因斯坦于1933年获得该校终身教授职位。

学校培养出2位美国总统,44名州长和几百名议员。

它是常青藤盟校中的TheBigThree之一。

学术声誉处于美国顶尖大学的头几名位置。

几年来,在美国<<美国新闻与世界报道>>最具权威的学校排行榜中,它的名次一直稳定地保持在前三名,在1999年的排行榜中,与哈佛大学和耶鲁大学并列第一位。

名校校训——普林斯顿大学普林斯顿大学(PrincetonUniversity)位于美国新泽西州的普林斯顿,是一所著名的私立研究型大学,美国8所常春藤盟校之一。

它是美洲殖民者在新大陆创建的第4所大学。

该校于1746年在新泽西州伊丽莎白镇创建,当时名为“新泽西学院”,1756年迁至普林斯顿,1896年正式更名为“普林斯顿大学”。

在普林斯顿大学200多年的历史上,最值得其骄傲的是它世界范围内的科学成就和美国政治家摇篮的称谓:有33位诺贝尔奖得主、2位美国总统和44位美国州长毕业于该校,1000多名毕业生担任过美国国会参议员、众议员以及联邦政府和州政府的高级官员,相对论大师爱因斯坦、数学大师冯诺依曼?阿廷等著名学者曾在这里从事研究,著名华人科学家华罗庚、姜伯驹、陈省声、李政道、杨振宁等都曾担任过普林斯顿大学的研究员。

普林斯顿大学最引以为豪的是它的本科生教育,导修制是普林斯顿大学本科教学的一项特色。

学校大部分基础课程是在100至150人的大礼堂内上课,但每个星期学生都会参加10至15人的小班,由教授或是助教带领,复习一周以来所学的课程,这些由助教或教授带领的讨论班,给了学生更大的空间去理解在课堂上所学的理论。

普林斯顿大学的另一特色是,学生都必须遵照被称为“荣誉规章”的学术诚信的规定。

这条规定要求学生写一份保证书,保证其所有的书面作业既没有剽窃,也没有违反其他道德规范。

写下这份保证书即表示学生已经理解这条规定的“双向责任”:自己绝对遵守,也向校方报告其他学生违反这条规定的现象。

因为“荣誉规章”的存在,普林斯顿大学的考试没有人监考。

在《美国新闻与世界报道》公布的2012年度美国大学排行榜中,普林斯顿大学和哈佛大学并列第一名。

普林斯顿大学的正式校训是拉丁语“DeiSubNumineViget”,英译为:UnderGod'sPowerSheFlourishes,汉译为:在上帝的眷顾下,她欣欣向荣。

在今天的行政大楼拿萨堂前草地中央的铜牌上,铭刻着一条后来增添的非正式校训:IntheNation'sService,IntheServiceofAllNations(为国家服务,为全人类服务)。

它是美国殖民时期第四所成立的高等教育学院,当时名为“新泽西学院”,1747年迁至新泽西州,1756年迁至普林斯顿,并于1896年正式改名为普林斯顿大学。

起初校址设在新泽西州的伊丽莎白镇,校长为乔纳森·迪肯逊(Jonathan Dickinson),原校名新泽西学院(有人提出以当时的州长乔纳森·贝尔切(Jonathan Belcher)命名,但被否决)。

新泽西学院第二任校长是老阿伦·布尔(Aaron Burr, Sr.),第三任是乔纳森·爱德华兹(Jonathan Edwards)。

1756年,新泽西学院迁到了普林斯顿。

1896年,为了表示对所在地的尊敬,新泽西学院正式改名为普林斯顿大学。

同年,学院也进行了大规模的扩建,也正式变了一所大学。

在伍德罗·威尔逊任校长期间,普林斯顿于1905年新增了一个叫做“导修课”(“preceptorial”)讨论研究课程。

这个在当时很特别的概念以一个更个人化的小组学生与教师讨论的方法替代了原有的大教室课程。

1930年,并不附属于普林斯顿大学的高等研究院在普林斯顿成立,也是全国第一所给学者研究的住宿学院。

著名的相对论提出者爱因斯坦是研究院第一批教授之一,并于此任教并从事高等研究。

普林斯顿大学校长2018毕业演讲(音频中英文对照)

普林斯顿大学校长2018毕业演讲(音频中英文对照)

普林斯顿大学校长2018毕业演讲(音频中英文对照)In a few minutes, all of you will march through FitzRandolph Gate as newly minted graduates of this University. Before you do, it is my privilege to say a few words about the path that lies ahead.It is indeed a privilege, and also a joy, to address you, for all of you who graduate today have accomplished something genuinely important and worth celebrating. You have completed a demanding course of study. It will transform your life in many ways. It will expand the range of vocations you can pursue, increase your knowledge of the world, deepen your capacity to appreciate societies and cultures, and provide a foundation for lifelong learning.So we celebrate here on the lawn in front of Nassau Hall, as do other college communities in courtyards, auditoria, arenas, and stadia around the country. Graduates toss caps in the air and professors applaud. Families cheer and holler enthusiastically. Yet, even as we do so, we see a strange trend from columnists, bloggers, think tanks, and politicians. In essays, books, andspeeches, some of them suggest that too many students are earning college degrees.Too many college graduates: that is a very odd claim, because the economic evidence for the value of a college degree is overwhelming. For example, in 2014, economists Jaison Abel and Richard Deitz of the Federal Reserve Bank of New Yorkestimated the average annual return on investment from a college degree, net of tuition paid and lost earnings, at between 9 percent and 16 percent per year for a lifetime (1). For the last two decades, the return on investment has hovered at the high end of that range, around 15 percent per year.By comparison, the historical average return on investments in the American stock market is around 7 percent per year. That is why my friend Morton Shapiro, the president of Northwestern University and a leading educational economist, says that for most people, the decision to invest in a college degree will be “the single best financial decision they make in a lifetime,” even if judged purely in terms of financial return on investment.A degree conveys many other benefits as well. For example, college graduates report higher levels of happiness and job satisfaction, even after controlling for income. College graduates are healthier than non-graduates. They are more likely to exercise, more likely to vote, and have higher levels of civic engagement. To these pragmatic considerations we should add the joys that come with an increased capacity to appreciate culture, the arts, the world’s diversity, and the inherent beauty of extraordinary ideas.The numbers I have quoted are not specific to Princeton. On the contrary, they are averages over all four-year degrees, in allfields, from all colleges in the United States. Think about that for a moment: on average, all degrees in all fields from all colleges generate an annual return between 9 percent and 16 percent, and this return is supplemented by additional benefits to health, happiness, and quality of life. How could anyone think we need fewer college graduates?Some people answer that you can learn a trade without getting a college degree. Welders, they observe, can make more money than many college graduates. That’s true. There are, of course, reasons why you might want to get a college degree even if you plan to become a welder. You might worry, for example, about what happens if technology renders your trade obsolete, or arthritis leaves you unable to practice it, or you want to move into management or explore other interests. A college degree equips you to respond to the changes — to yourself, and to the world — that inevitably occur over a lifetime.Still, if pundits and politicians were saying only that America needs better vocational training, I could agree wholeheartedly. It would be terrific if more people could get the training they need to practice a trade. But at the same time it would also be great if more people, not fewer, could receive the extraordinary benefits that come with a college degree.So I ask again: why would anyone think we need fewer college graduates? I think there is a simple answer. Education requires high-quality teaching. Teaching, in turn, depends upon skilled labor, which is expensive. As a result, the up-front cost for education is real, large, and easy to measure. The returns are equally real and even larger, but they accrue over a lifetime, are hard to measure, and vary from person to person. It is tempting to wish that you could get more certainty at lower cost.The people who call for fewer degrees yield to that temptation. They emphasize the short-term. They focus almost entirely on the price of college and on the salaries students might earn in their first jobs. That is a mistake.A college education is a long-term investment. It enables graduates to develop and adapt, and it pays off spectacularly in the long run. The idea that we would be better off with fewer college graduates is a short-term swindle, a swindle that will cheat America’s young people, weaken the nation''s economy, and undermine our future. We need to have the confidence to invest in our young people and to ensure that a college education is accessible and affordable for students from all backgrounds and financial circumstances.I hope that all of you who graduate today, and who experience the power of education in your own lives, will become advocates for the value of higher education in our society. There is a national conversation taking place right now about the value of higher education, and we need your voice in that conversation. We need you, in other words, to help others to achieve in the future what you achieve today.How can you help more students earn college degrees? Here are three suggestions. First, become advocates for the importance of completion rates. A college education produces a tremendous return—if you get the degree. Returns are much lower if you start college but do not get the degree. The highest default rates on student loans do not involve college graduates with big debts. They instead involve students with small debts who never finish college and so never get the earnings boost that comes with a degree.A few moments ago, we awarded an honorary degree toPresident Barbara Gitenstein. Over her nearly two decades leading The College of New Jersey, she raised the College’s four-year graduation rate from 58 percent to 75 percent, a number that puts TCNJ’s on-time completion rate among the top ten in the nation for public colleges and universities. By raising TCNJ’s graduation rate, President Gitenstein has improved the lives of thousands of students who might have left school with debt but no degree. Be an advocate for higher education leaders like Bobby Gitenstein, and for colleges like TCNJ that commit to improving completion rates.Second, support America’s public institutions of higher education. State subsidies for public colleges and universities have declined precipitously, and state funding represents an increasingly small share of the budget at public research universities. At the University of Michigan, for example, state funding now accounts for only about 9 percent of total revenues. In the 1950s, by contrast, that number was 80 percent. Tuition at state universities has risen not because they have increased their expenditures per student, but because state legislatures have hollowed out their other sources of support.America depends on its public colleges and universities. They are engines of social mobility and innovation. Princeton and other private universities make essential contributions to the nation and the world — but there is no way that we could ever replace America’s great public institutions. They are a national treasure, and I urge you to support them.Third, stand up for the importance of enabling more students from low-income families to earn college degrees. Princeton’s Great Class of 2018 graduates today as the most socioeconomically diverse class in the 272-year history of thisUniversity. You will not hold that record for long. Other classes already at Princeton will break your record. Our graduate programs are likewise drawing upon new sources of talent: this spring we admitted the most socioeconomically diverse class of doctoral students in Princeto n University’s history.At Princeton we believe in socioeconomic diversity because we know that to achieve excellence as a University and as a nation we must draw talent from every sector of society. We know, too, that a Princeton degree is a rocket-booster for students seeking socioeconomic mobility. If we want to heal the divisions that inequality has produced in this country, we must ensure that students from low-income backgrounds receive the educations they need to develop their abilities and contribute to our society.As I look out at our extraordinary class of undergraduate, masters, and doctoral degree recipients, I take pride in your excellence and your diversity, and I am excited about the contributions you will make in the years ahead. The world needs more college degrees, not fewer. We need more celebrations like the one we hold today, with more proud families and happy graduates ready to go out and make a positive difference in the world. All of us on this platform are thrilled to be a part of your celebration. We applaud your achievements. We send our best wishes as you begin the adventures that lie ahead, and we look forward to welcoming you back to this campus on future visits. To the Great Class of 2018 and all of our graduates, congratulations!2018毕业典礼致辞Christopher L. Eisgruber总统2018年6月5日再过几分钟,你们所有人都会在菲茨兰多夫门前游行,成为这所大学新毕业的毕业生。

普林斯顿大学校长雪莉.提欧曼在2006年开学典礼上的致词

普林斯顿大学校长雪莉.提欧曼在2006年开学典礼上的致词第一篇:普林斯顿大学校长雪莉. 提欧曼在2006年开学典礼上的致词这是普林斯顿大学校长雪莉.提欧曼在2006年开学典礼上的致词President's Pages in Princeton Alumni WeeklyShirley M.Tilghman October 11, 2006Today marks the beginning of a great adventure for the members of what I have every reason to believe will become the great Class of 2010.And it is to you, in particular, that I want to direct my words this afternoon.In the course of the next four years, you will find that there are more ways to look at the world than there are books in Firestone Library;you will learn that the pursuit of knowledge is both liberating and demanding;and you will discover your capacity to grow as scholars, citizens, and classmates.Now all of this may seem a little nebulous as you fret about the sleeping habits of your roommates or debate the wisdom of your course selections or try to navigate the campus without looking as bewildered as you feel.Yes, you may be thinking, it‟s great that I am going to Princeton, but the questions that concern me most right now are “Will I survive?” and “How?”I can answer the first of these questions with a simple yes.You will survive.For we have chosen you with care, and you, I know, have looked us over thoroughly as well.All of you are exceptionally gifted in one way or another, or perhaps in more ways than one;all of you have shown a clear determination to use your talents to the full;and all of you bring something different—and something special—to your class and to our campus.Once you find your academic sea legs, you will do much more than survive—you will thrive, exploring new fields of knowledge,delighting us all with your artistic and athletic prowess, challenging us with your original world view, forming lifelong friendships, and finding ways to be of service to others.In time, the butterflies you feel today will be just a distant memory, and your confidence in your abilities will match the faith that we have placed in each and every one of you.How to make the most of your time at Princeton requires a longer answer, but I think it can be boiled down to five essential ingredients—the keys to a truly successful undergraduate experience.First and foremost, find and then follow your passions.This is not the time in your life to play it safe or to rest on your laurels.This is a time to be adventurous and to be honest with yourself about what really gives meaning to your life.Perhaps you are a closet poet but have never had the confidence to share your verse with others.If that is the case, sign up for a course in our Program in Creative Writing where outstanding poets and teachers like Paul Muldoon and C.K.Williams are ready to work with you.Perhaps you have been inspired to understand and find cures for intractable diseases.Then chart a course for the Lewis Thomas Laboratory, where Professor of Molecular Biology Yigong Shi is unraveling the molecular mechanisms by which cancer cells make the decision to grow or die, or for the Lewis-Sigler Institute, where Professor Manuel Llinás is exploring the life cycle of the Plasmodium parasite, the cause of malaria, which claims some 1.5 million lives a year.Or perhaps you want to understand and contribute to the fragile ties that hold our global community together.If this is your passion, then I recommend you visit the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs, where Professor Gary Bass is exploring the efficacy of humanitarian interventions and Professor Jennifer Widner isexamining how failed states can be effectively rebuilt.And if you are a budding engineer, who wants to use technology to change the world, I suggest you gravitate toward Professors of Computer Science Larry Peterson and Jennifer Rexford, who are inventing the next version of the Internet.Or perhaps you are one of the many students who arrive on your first day at Princeton without having committed yourself to any one subject or pursuit.You are not only in luck but you are in the majority, because past history tells us that 70 percent of you are going to concentrate in a discipline other than the one you declared on your application to Princeton.For you, our course offerings contain a vast array of possibilities from which to begin your search for what fascinates you.Indeed, what makes this University and this point in your lives so wonderful is that there are very few subjects you cannot pursue.The greatest difficulty you will face, I predict, is narrowing your choices to four or five each semester.Being true to your passions now may take you in directions that have little to do with the career you will ultimately follow, but I want to assure you that this is not a problem.Princeton is not a trade school where young men and women are groomed for specific occupations.Rather, the purpose of a liberal arts education, to paraphrase Woodrow Wilson, our 13th president, almost 100 years ago, is to acquire the power to distinguish good reasoning from bad, to digest and interpret evidence, and to develop a taste for knowledge and a deep respect for the integrity of the human mind.This is the reason we place so much emphasis on a multidisciplinary education—one that encourages scientists to study the novels of Toni Morrison and the symphonies of Ludwig van Beethoven, and humanists to study Charles Darwin‟s theory of natural selection and Albert Einstein‟s theory of relativity.Aliberal arts education is not, as a literal translation might suppose, a leftwing curriculum for artists.On the contrary, it encompasses a breadth of academic study that is, according to the Latin derivation, “proper to free persons.” In medieval times, education was limited to a small elite, but today the liberal arts are pursued by all who wish to exercise their minds, freely and openly, in order to acquire the intellectual grounding they need to excel in life, regardless of their profession.This brings me to your parents, who are understandably anxious to turn the generous investment they are making in your education to good account.Thanks to the cell phone and e-mail, not to mention text messaging, you have instant access to your parents, and they have instant access to you.I can hear them now: “A course on …Women and Film‟? How is that going to pay the bills? Will that get you a job?”Such questions, although perfectly understandable, should not be allowed to drive your intellectual agenda here.Always remember that a Princeton education, no matter how impractical it may, at times, appear on paper, is more than the sum of its parts and will always open doors in the world beyond the FitzRandolph Gates.Now is the time to do what you are compelled by your intellectual curiosity to do.The future, with Princeton degree firmly in hand, will take care of itself, and your life will be richer for it.(My second piece of advice is to be bold and to explore uncharted territory.The third thing you should do is pace yourselves.A fourth key to success is to understand and embrace the sense of responsibility that comes with an education at an institution like this st but not least, I want your years at Princeton to be fun.)(这里就只截取了每一点的论点)Now you have your homework for the next four years.Pursue your passions, venture where you have never ventured before,pace yourself, serve others, and have lots of fun.If you can do all this—and I am confident you can—your lives will be forever shaped by the experiences you will have and share over these next four years.Good luck to you all—I‟ll be watching!第二篇:在2011年秋开学典礼上致词在2011年秋开学典礼上致词各位老师、同学们:大家好!在这个美丽如画的收获季节,我们又迎来了一个崭新的学年,迎来了一批朝气蓬勃的新同学和一批新老师。
