October 22, 1746 was Princeton’s Charter Day. In celebration of the 275th anniversary of that date, and as the first engagement effort of Venture Forward, Princeton alumni have planned a digital birthday party next Friday, October 22, called “Orange & Black Day.” We need your help to mark this milestone!
