The Princeton Association of New York City (PANYC) is the official alumni association for Princetonians in the five boroughs of New York City. This includes all graduate and undergraduate alumni, spouses, and parents.

PANYC uses the Princeton University Alumni Council's Tigernet database to contact Princetonians in the NYC area. The list we use contains all alumni, spouses, and parents with a preferred address in one of the five boroughs of New York City.

The easiest way to add yourself to the PANYC mailing list is to ensure that your preferred address on Tigernet is in one of the five boroughs of New York City. If you do not have a Tigernet ID, then you can also register for one. The second option is to use our Contact Form.

No. PANYC's events are intended to be open to all members of the Princeton community. While we would be delighted by your financial support, it is far more important to us that you attend our events and enjoy yourself amongst other alumni, family members, and friends.

PANYC is a self-sustaining volunteer organization. Because we receive no financial support from the University, we rely on membership dues as our primary source of income.
Membership dues help us keep the cost of events low and even weather losses we may recognize on certain events. In addition, your dues help us support other NYC-area Princeton groups which include the Alumni Schools Committee, Princeton Prize in Race Relations, the affiliated groups (A4P, ABPA, ALPA, BTGALA, IAAP). PANYC is also hoping to use membership dues to start awarding book prizes and scholarships to high school students in New York City.

We are both unique and lucky that New York City is the only Princeton alumni region in the world that has both an alumni association and a Club. PANYC is the University-recognized alumni association for all Princetonians in the NYC area. The Princeton Club of New York is a private institution with its own building, facilities and programs that are usually open only to its members. Both organizations have separate dues structures and membership in one organization is not reciprocal with membership in the other. To make matters more confusing, there are many alumni associations in other regions who refer themselves as Clubs even though they have no physical building. An example of this is PANYC's counterparts in Southern California - the Princeton Club of Southern California.
While we are separate organizations, PANYC endorses the Princeton Club as a great resource for alumni to enjoy.

PANYC is always on the lookout for new event ideas. To propose an idea, please email us at info (at) panycweb.org. You can also contact any member of the PANYC Board. Our contact information is available through the Tigernet Alumni Directory. We would ask that the event meets these guidelines: 1) contains a strong Princeton component or is designed to bring Princetonians together and 2) is not primarily for self-promotion purposes. In addition, to maintain our 501(c)(3) status, we are not permitted to fundraise for other charitable organizations that are not affiliated with the University.
