Summer Research

The research conducted by Princeton faculty during the summer pays dividends in the classroom and beyond. Through their experiences and scholarship, faculty help to create a sounding board for world and global events. In recognition of the deep value that it brings to the University, PLAS offsets travel expenses related to work centered on Latin America and the Caribbean.
