Princeton’s Top Social Media Moments of 2019

2019 was a year of celebrating and recognizing Princetonians who are changing the world and living out our informal motto of “In the nation’s service and the service of humanity.” 

Here are the stories and moments that surfaced to the top of our social media feeds.

Princeton’s James Peebles receives the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics

On October 8, 2019, the world woke up to the news that professor emeritus James “Jim” Peebles *62 had received the 2019 Nobel Prize in Physics “for theoretical discoveries in physical cosmology.” Our team immediately took to social media to mark the occasion and give minute-by-minute updates as the University community celebrated Professor Peebles. Some of our social media coverage even made its way to a local news broadcast. When Professor Peebles traveled to Sweden in December to receive his Nobel, we were able to look back and re-share some of the great moments from October.

Princeton remembers Toni Morrison, Nobel-winning author and emeritus Princeton faculty member 

In 2019, we lost many notable Princeton faculty members including professor emerita Toni Morrison. After announcing that she had passed away, the University used social media to celebrate her legacy, her impact and beautiful words ... and the world listened and shared in the moment.

Graduate student Xiyue Wang returns home after unjust imprisonment in Iran

In the summer of 2016, Princeton graduate student Xiyue Wang was detained by Iranian authorities while studying the Farsi language and doing dissertation research. Wang was charged with espionage, convicted and sentenced to 10 years in prison. Ever since, the University community has been rallying in support of his release. On December 7, 2019, Xiyue Wang was released thanks to the United States government, the government of Switzerland, and the students, faculty and staff who continued to advocate for his freedom throughout this ordeal.

Looking ahead to 2020

Video continues to remain a dominate form of content for sharing our stories and messaging across platforms. However, we will continue to create content for specific channels and audiences - one piece of content does not fit all. Also, Twitter is not dead as we incorrectly predicted in 2017. Twitter has become an instrumental vehicle in adding Princeton’s voice to international conversations especially around climate change, innovation, and college access and affordability. Finally, LinkedIn is making a come back. This year, the top viewed video on LinkedIn was watched more than the top viewed videos on Twitter and Facebook. LinkedIn continues to be a platform of untapped potential especially as it continues to unveil new features.

Regardless of platform or features, authentic and timely content remains constant which we hope to continue to bring to our social media audiences in 2020.

With Princeton University’s commitment to service in its strategic planning, and the Pace Center for Civic Engagement’s renewed emphasis on helping students learn to do service well, the Pace Center teamed up with Isometric Studio (led by Princeton alums Andy Chen ’09 and Waqas Jawaid ’10) to refresh the center’s visual identity over the summer of 2017. The new system includes a logo featuring the center’s namesake and founding donor John H. Pace, Jr. ’39 with a dynamic and scalable system of graphic elements that put the emphasis on service broadly and offer new opportunities to use images to share student stories and community impact. (See more at pace.princeton.edu) It also connects with the visual identity of a new University program called #ServiceFocus.

As Benjamin Stuart Walcott, Class of 1917, approached the final semester of his time at Princeton, he wrote to his father about his future plans:

If I go to Europe, as I want to, to drive an ambulance or in the aeroplane[,] I will be doing a man’s work and shall be doing enough to support myself. If the work is unpaid, it is merely because it is charitable work and as such is given freely. If you want to pay my way, I will consider it not as dependence on you, father, but as a partnership that may help the Allies and their cause… If not, I will be willing to invest the small amount of capital which has accumulated in my name. I have been thinking of this work in Europe for over a year now, and am still very strong for it. I don’t know what the effect will be on myself, but if it will be of service to others, I think that it is something I ought to do.

His plane was shot down over France in December 1917, on his first combat patrol. He did not survive.

John van Duyn, Class of 1862, shown here ca. 1862, graduated from Princeton at the age of 18, joined the Union Army as a medical cadet, and earned his medical degree at 21. By the time the Civi War ended, he had the rank of Major and was a full Army surgeon. In 1918, at the age of 73, he went with his son to France, where they helped establish a hospital for the treatment of wounded World War I soldiers. He is the only Princetonian known to have served in both the Civil War and World War I. Reflecting on this experience, he said that methods had changed in the intervening decades, but the brutality of war had not.

Menu Monday: We don't get as many insights into either ordinary dining or latter 20th century food as we do special occasions and/or earlier examples, so this local pizza menu from ca. 1965 was an exciting find! Note that these days, a large pizza will run you significantly more than $1.90.

Princeton University alum Lisa Bryant '93, 21, had just graduated when she headed off for an Army training program. Having completed the Army's R.O.T.C. program at Princeton, Bryant was a lieutenant. She was only intending to spend the summer there before a more permanent assignment, but she never got to leave Fort Bragg.

On July 10, 1993, Sergeant 1st Class Ervin Graves, 33, asked Bryant to dance multiple times, and each time, she turned him down. In response, he followed her and attacked her. The events ultimately resulted in Graves's conviction for murder and attempted rape in a court martial trial. Graves had reportedly shot Bryant because she resisted him.

At Princeton, Bryant was captain of the cheerleading squad (shown here in her cheerleading uniform). She wrote a senior thesis on Army families.
