‘We have all these people that came before us, and we carry that in who we are.’ Our Year of the Tiger series continues. .

The Year of the Tiger that launched with this Lunar New Year is a moment of pride and reflection for Princeton’s vibrant Asian and Asian American community. Throughout the year, we are elevating the voices of faculty, staff, students, alumni and researchers in a series of thoughtful interviews exploring questions of identity, pride, hope, the lived experience of anti-Asian racism, and meaningful steps that allies can take. We continue the series with Serena Lu, from the Class of 2020.
