Woke Wednesdays
Our mission is to provide a platform for discussion amongst college-aged students, faculty, and administration in regards to current political and social issues in our lives, mainly as students on campus. We do so buy creating content, such as videos and podcasts, to encourage dialogue and give visibility to issues on Princeton University's campus, of which also translate to issues found in every campus worldwide, not just the Ivy League.
Conversation: Black Student Life at Princeton
55% of the Princeton student body comprises of non-white students, with 9% of the campus population identifying as black (academic year 2018-19). In this podcast, we talk about what it's like to be a black undergraduate student at Princeton, delving into deep discussion and some hot takes.

Conversation: How I Got Into Princeton
There is more to an application then your standardized test scores. In this week’s podcast, we cover how three students, each with their own unique perspective, got into Princeton.

Listen to the podcast to hear the diverse range of test scores, class standings, extracurricular activities, and stories of these students and learn that there is no formula to getting into Ivy League schools. ________________________________________________________ Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to our content and follow us on social media: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChYRZSJNOKE2j9wyGa5GHHw Instagram: http://instagram.com/wednesdayswoke Website: https://wokewednesdays.us Facebook: http://facebook.com/GetWokeStayWoke Twitter: https://twitter.com/WokeWednesdays Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/ya4dl6x5 iTunes: https://tinyurl.com/y75zjgag CREDITS: Sound Engineering: Daniel Kearns
