A Great Bond. We are forever grateful for the chance to visit the Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst. We are thankful to the marines of MAG-49, the soldiers of 2-228 Theater Aviation Battalion and everyone who played a part in making this happen.

#TellUsTigers: “I think the Beatles are the greatest band in history, the band that shaped my life, including at Princeton. Growing up, ‘Abbey Road’ connected me with my father on early-morning drives to school. My love for the piano was sparked by performing a ‘Paperback Writer’ keyboard solo in a third-grade rock ensemble. The Beatles always seemed to be playing in the background. When I walked through FitzRandolph Gate during the Pre-rade my first year at Princeton, my world changed. While taking the hardest classes of my life and applying to far too many clubs, I tried to find a sense of home 2,000 miles away from my hometown, El Paso, Texas. Fortunately, I found it in the Forbes dining hall that first semester. One mid-autumn Sunday night, as I made my way to dinner between study sessions, I heard a familiar tune playing in the dining hall foyer. At the check-in table, Joe Coraggio, the Campus Dining staff member supervising the station, was playing ‘Let It Be’ on his Bluetooth speaker. While ‘Let It Be’ stands on its own as a testament to the indomitable will of the human spirit, it also reminds me deeply of home. When I complimented Coraggio on his great taste in music, we immediately struck up a conversation about the Beatles. This was the first of many conversations, with topics migrating from our mutual affection for the Beatles and 1960s rock to our own stories — his background in the business world, his children, and his love of golf and biking; my upbringing in Texas, my interest in public policy and my dream of attending law school. Throughout my time at Princeton, the two of us have bonded over our mutual interests. As I approach graduation, I realize how much I have taken for granted these little moments of meaning, but what I really feel is gratitude. I know I am not the only one who shares this connection with him. Coraggio was named an honorary member of #Princeton2023 — a distinction that speaks to the impact he has had on countless Princeton students. This honor symbolizes how small moments of great meaning can help all Princeton community members ‘come together.’” — Samuel Kligman ’26; 📷 by Noel Valero ’82 *86 (@noelvphoto ) #Princetagram

As AI continues to increasingly become central to everyday life, what implications are there in healthcare? How do privacy laws like HIPAA impact the use of AI tools in medicine? These were the questions Taylor Hyland ‘26 investigated as part of her senior thesis. She did so while playing for the ECAC regular season champs, @princetonwhockey . @_taylorhyland 's interest in the topic was sparked junior year while serving on @PrincetonSPIA 's Task Force on AI and National Security led by lecturer Ali Nouri. Serving on a Policy Task Force is a core requirement for SPIA undergrads, presenting an opportunity for students to gain practical exposure to policy and international affairs. In addition to her SPIA major, Taylor, from Wellesley, MA, has earned a minor in Values and Public Life. The experience from the task force and working with Nouri left Taylor thinking more about how governments can impact innovation through regulation, while still safeguarding citizens’ personal data and serving the public good. Her senior capstone project was locked in. By comparing Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations in the U.S. and the Personal Information Protection Law (PIPL) regulations in China, Taylor's thesis explored "how each country’s regulatory environment shapes the strategies that companies and research institutions use to build medical AI models." Her thesis advisor was professor Jacob Shapiro. In addition to online and text-based research, Taylor also worked with Princeton Precision Health. Throughout the process, Taylor learned something about herself, too. "It helped me realize how much I enjoy working on topics actively evolving in real time. AI is developing rapidly worldwide, making my thesis especially exciting because I was writing about a policy issue that continued to develop and change as I was researching it. Throughout the process, I also saw how discipline I learned as a student-athlete translated into my academic work. The perseverance, consistency, time management and dedication needed to write my thesis are all connected to habits I developed on the ice." She dedicated her thesis to her grandfather, Art Hyland '63.

The Museum’s chief conservator, Bart Devolder, "spent six months analyzing and preparing [Willem de Kooning’s] “Black Friday” for the Museum’s reopening and important new de Kooning exhibition. To do his work — which, first and foremost, is making sure a painting is in stable condition for exhibition — Devolder has to become a kind of forensic investigator. In this case, the process of examining the materials used by the artist, in order to preserve them for decades to come, also illuminates the artist’s process, he said. With “Black Friday,” that came with surprises — the biggest being the likelihood that a colorful de Kooning abstract painting was hidden underneath.” 🔗 Read the story from @princeton by tapping into our "Press" Stories highlight on our profile! 🔎 See “Black Friday” in “Willem de Kooning: The Breakthrough Years, 1945–50,” on view through July 26.
