Community ties
Community and regional affairs office serves as bridge
Princeton NJ — This issue of the Princeton Weekly Bulletin is being mailed to residents of the local community on behalf of the Office of Community and Regional Affairs.
Led by Kristin Appelget, director of community and regional affairs, and Karen Woodbridge, director of community relations, the office serves as a bridge between the University and the community. Staff members work with county and municipal government officials, plus with a wide variety of community organizations, to enhance the quality of life throughout the Princeton region.

The office manages University/community relationships in areas involving financial contributions, land use, affordable housing, transportation, environmental impact and local economic development.
Staff members also oversee community relations initiatives, such as the Community Auditing Program and the Program in Continuing Education, the Community Use of University Facilities Program and the Surplus Equipment Donations Program, as well as numerous arts and entertainment initiatives for the community, such as Community and Staff Day at Princeton Stadium and the Communiversity spring festival.
