Congratulations to the Princeton Class of 2026.
Bearing the name of John Witherspoon, one of Princeton’s early presidents, the Witherspoon Institute is especially grateful for the opportunity to continue, in our own way, a tradition of serious inquiry and moral reflection that has long marked this place.
Through seminars, friendships, and conversations that seek wisdom rather than mere utility, we are honored to participate in Princeton’s enduring intellectual tradition alongside so many thoughtful students over the years.
To all graduates: may your education continue long after commencement.
