Identity & Career

Your intersecting identities — backgrounds, experiences, voices and perspectives — will inform career decision-making, work and professional development throughout your time at Princeton and beyond.

The Center for Career Development is committed to empowering undergraduate and graduate students to pursue personally meaningful careers. We work with students of all backgrounds, identities and interests. 

The resources outlined in the following pages are not meant to be exhaustive, and are intended to supplement your exploration. You may identify with multiple categories listed below, or find helpful information in categories you wouldn't expect. 

In addition to reviewing these resources, we recommend you meet with a career adviser. You do not have to have anything figured out before an advising appointment. Advisers can help you talk through your questions, figure out what interests you and how to start putting together a personalized plan. 


Princeton University is committed to equal opportunity and non-discrimination. To maximize excellence, we seek talent from all segments of American society and the world, and we take steps to ensure everyone at Princeton can thrive while they are here. That is the sole rationale and purpose of our diversity and inclusion programs, all of which are voluntary and open to all, and which comply with federal and state non-discrimination laws. Princeton does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, ethnicity, color, national origin, religion, disability, or any other protected characteristic, and Princeton does not provide special benefits or preferential treatment on the basis of a protected characteristic.
