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.
Save the date for Outdoor Action’s 50th Anniversary celebration on campus
Friday, September 20 - Sunday, September 22, 2024
To celebrate fifty years of Outdoor Action, we have a special event planned for all OA Alumni and Friends. Join us for a fun-filled weekend of events on campus where all generations of OA alumni and current students can meet, mingle and share the important legacy of OA, leadership and the outdoors. Like any OA event this will be engaging, experiential and explorative. Any time that OA alumni gather, it’s bound to be a fun adventure!
Princeton graduates serve in countless leadership positions around the world from entrepreneurs to teachers, directors to parents. Understanding the traits and behaviors that make leaders effective is critical for any organization, and applies to students on campus and alumni in the world at large. Join us for a panel that brings together experts on leadership and Outdoor Action alumnae from academics, business, government, the non-profit sector and current OA student leaders to explore what makes leaders effective and how to enhance your own foundations of effective leadership.
