On the last day of orientation, fellows made sure to give a toast to each other before they went to their posts across Africa. After a long three days of intense preparation for their year-long service, the fellows finally got a chance to relax and dance together!

Princeton in Africa’s Orientation seemed to have everybody smiling! These were the best smiles we caught on camera!

Orientation is about learning through open conversations! We invited professionals to help guide group discussions, with topics including identity, security, and how to responsibly engage with service on the African continent.

Here are the best group shots we took at orientation! It's incredible that we could unite such a diverse and talented group of people into one picture frame--including our Nexus fellows, who are joining virtually from across the world!

Princeton in Africa welcomes our 2023-24 Fellowship Cohort! This cohort includes 29 Fellows working in 10 African Countries with 19 Host Organizations. We wish our Fellows the best as they begin their one-year service placements. You can learn more here: tinyurl.com/PiAfFellows
