Carl A. Fields Center
Mission
The Carl A. Fields Center for Equality and Cultural Understanding acknowledges, celebrates and promotes the diverse experiences that each member of Princeton University brings to the community. In collaboration with academic departments, the Women's Center, the Davis International Center, the LGBT Center and affiliated student organizations, the Fields Center acts as a catalyst for exploring critical issues on campus by initiating programs focused on race, class, gender, social justice, civic engagement, sexual orientation and the historical and current realities that impact the understanding of these topics.
