A Gathering with President Eisgruber in Detroit - June 27, 2017

Over two hundred Princeton alumni and guests attended a gathering with Princeton University President Christopher L. Eisgruber '83, on June 27. 2017 in the spectacular Rivera Court at the Detroit Institute of Arts.

The evening started with a reception, dinner, and then over dessert Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman William Clay Ford, Jr. '79 interviewed President Eisgruber and then opened it up to questions from the audience.

We enjoyed reconnecting with the University, learning about new initiatives, participating in an open discussion, the matchless setting, and of course seeing each other.

The event was held in the spectacular
