In his 2021 State of the University letter, Princeton University's President Christopher L. Eisgruber remarked,

Open to everyone that would like to talk about race, racism, and racial justice, Princeton Diversity Discussions invite alumni, students, staff, family, friends, and everyone you think is groovy to join us!
