Students involved in Outdoor Action excel both in academics and in campus activities from varsity sports, to student government, and student organizations. The leadership skills they develop through Outdoor Action serve the larger Princeton campus and beyond as these students go on to be leaders throughout their careers. Here are some of the awards and prizes received by Outdoor Action Leaders.
These awards are given annually to seniors in the Outdoor Action Program who have made significant contributions to the program and to the lives of others at Princeton University. Thanks and congratulations to all of them from the staff at Outdoor Action and from the Friends of OA Board.
Six members of the OA community, led by leader-in-training Olivia Trase, joined FOPOS (Friends of Princeton Open Spaces) for a day of trail maintenance at Mountain Lakes preserve. The group built a boardwalk over a very muddy section at the start of the yellow trail from the Cherry Hill parking lot.

A critical part of OA leader training is competence and confidence in dealing with emergency situations. The Wilderness First Aid and CPR instructors teach the core skills of patient care and assessment, and judgement and decision making for the field treatment of emergency situations.
CPR InstructorsCPR Instructors teach the 3 hour American Heart Association CPR course to OA leaders and other members of the University community. In order to become a CPR Instructor you must complete the CPR Instructor Course.
While many people think of OA as an outdoor program, its primary mission is developing student leaders. We celebrate OA's contribution to leadership with an annual panel at Reunions where alumni leaders from the program return to share how they continue to use the leadership skills they developed through OA. Join us for a panel that brings together experts on leadership from academics, business, government, the non-profit sector and current Outdoor Action student leaders to explore what makes leaders effective and how to enhance your own foundations of effective leadership.
