I hope your summer is off to a great start! We're a week out from beginning to match FLI undergraduates with mentors and WE NEED MORE MENTORS! There are currently 104 students registered and only 37 mentors; we need at least 20 more mentors!
Our FLI Tigers & Friends Mentorship Program is a wonderful way to connect with current undergraduates, support them as they continue their educational journey, and help them develop their network of Princeton connections.
We (the Class of '79) helped launch this program in 2019 as our 40th reunion class legacy project, so it would be great if the Class was better represented among the mentors.

Detriments of Theistic Religion in Politics and Its Effect on the Immigration Problem
Detriments of Theistic Religion in Politics and Its Effect on the Immigration Problem -- Published: September 6, 2024 Isidoro Talavera Baez - Books - Author/Writer The intersection of theistic religion and politics sparks continued controversy, particularly when addressing complex social issues like immigration. When religious ideologies influence political decisions, they can lead to policies that are less informed by empirical evidence and more driven by doctrinal beliefs. The consequences are not only detrimental to the integrity of policymaking but also to the well-being of communities affected by such policies. Critical examination of the impacts of theistic religion on political discourse and immigration is necessary to advocate for improved, evidence-based approaches to policymaking.
Detriments of Theistic Religion in Politics and Its Effect on the Immigration Problem explores the effects of religious influences in government policies related to immigration. Aspects of theology, ethics, and morality related to policy and law creation are explored, along with effective solutions to solve issues of immigration in the Unites States. This book covers topics such as theology, ethics and morality, and political science, and is a useful resource for politicians, policymakers, government officials, economists, religious organizations, business owners, academicians, researchers, and scientists.

Google Maps shows how busy public places are without disclosing peopleās locations.

Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), received the National Medal of Science last week for her renowned contributions to the science of cryptography, distributed computing, algorithmic fairness, and differential privacy ā a set of mathematical rules that power many of the data privacy guarantees we take for granted today.
