7 FEATURE STORY: Interview with Dana Dreibelbis ’78, plus more Volunteer Opportunities & Upcoming Events Inside!
Volume 15, Number 1 Winter 2012
Community Volunteers has three new
substantive volunteer opportunities with
Westminster Community Life Center.
The Center is now seeking alumni with
experience in grant research, human
resources and accounting. The Center
serves to enrich the lives of
neighborhood families in the greater
Trenton area through supplemental
educational services such as after school
programming and early literacy
intervention. Dana Dreibelbis ’78 (at
right), who has been volunteering with
the Center for several months, explains
why he chose to get involved with this
inspiring organization and how he plans
to use his professional publishing skills
to expand the capacity of the Center.
Read more about Dana’s experience &
NEW volunteer opportunities on page 7!
How/why did you first get involved
with Princeton AlumniCorps? What
has kept you engaged over the years?
About eight years ago, when I first be-
gan working at Public Health Solutions, I
was looking for smart, inexpensive help
in the office. I went onto the University
website, and that’s when I saw a refer-
ence to Project 55 fellowships. The next
thing I knew, Chet Safian ’55 and Steve
Houck ’69 were on my doorstep telling
me about PP55 and convincing me it
would be a great match. I had already
recruited two students at the time, and
Chet offered to make them fellows. In
addition, he convinced me that I should
be a mentor. Part of what really sold me
was when, the following year, I went
through the whole PP55 process and was
amazed at the candidates; they were well
screened and well matched with my or-
ganization’s needs. Later, I got involved
with Jim Gregoire’s (’69) initiative to
start public health fellowships.
What is your background regarding
nonprofits/volunteering? How have
you demonstrated “Princeton in the
Nation’s Service”?
I have spent my entire career working
in nonprofits—especially in healthcare—
which was my major. Upon leaving Pub-
lic Health Solutions I recently began ex-
ploring my opportunities and realized
there was a tremendous need for people
adept at helping organizations to develop
and implement strategies to deal with the
changing landscape of healthcare regula-
tions today. I am now working for two
clients in that role. One is the National
Family Planning & Reproductive Health
Association, where I'm directing a pro-
ject to provide their member organiza-
tions with tools to survive and thrive as

the world changes around them; fund-
ing which has traditionally come from
grants is now being transformed to
Medicaid/state sponsored insurance.
The second is a large NYC network of
ambulatory care sites where I will be
working with the leadership team to
improve their quality of service and
improve the health of the population
they care for by making better use of
technology and the patient information
it can provide.
What role do you think Alumni-
Corps plays in the broader
Princeton community and in com-
munities around the country?
AlumniCorps plays a key role in
bringing alumni together in the com-
mon pursuit of public interest opportu-
nities. This is important for several
reasons. First, when alumni are
brought together through a program,
connections are made, and amazing
partnerships and bonds are formed
which otherwise may not have been.
For instance, in Chicago, Paula Mor-
ency ’77 and Tom Allison ’66 have
recently begun
working together
on developing the
Community Volun-
teers program, and
have together dis-
covered common
interests and passions to channel into
their community. When alumni meet
other alumni in this way, it is really
compelling, and “Princeton in the Na-
tion’s Service…” is really brought to
life.
The other important aspect of
AlumniCorps’ work is intergenera-
tional as alumni of all ages can con-
nect to one another and to their com-
mon heritage as Princetonians. This is
exemplified within the Board and also
in the structure of AlumniCorps’ pro-
gramming (recent graduates are paired
with mentors of older classes, for ex-
ample). While the alumni community
is strong on its own, AlumniCorps
excels at leveraging initial alumni con-
nections into relationships that can
contribute meaningfully and effec-
tively to civic engagement, all the
while strengthening the bonds of the
alumni community in the process.
What do you see as some of the
challenges and opportunities you
will encounter in your upcoming
term as President? And what is your
hope for the future of Princeton
AlumniCorps?
I think the challenges and opportuni-
ties are very similar. We are really
striving to increase the engagement of
alumni from classes of the ’60’s,
’70’s, ’80’s, ’90’s, and ’00’s to create
a strong, alumni-driven organization
to include graduates of all ages. The
challenge is reach-
ing those alumni
who graduated be-
fore Princeton
AlumniCorps (then
Princeton Project
55) became an in-
stitution. Another
challenge is conveying the mission of
the organization and how it is relevant
for ’60’s and ’70’s graduates. We have
to be strategic in considering all the
ways they can participate that might
match up with their current passions,
interests, and desires.
Our opportunity lies in expanding
our outreach, involving more classes,
and helping to grow more programs.
With the addition of Emerging
Leaders and Community Volunteers,
AlumniCorps has created many more
outlets for alumni to get involved.
These two new programs enable us to
work not only with individual alumni
but also to partner with class service
projects that utilize AlumniCorps’
experience and skills. Through these
partnerships, we can help officers and
class members refine and implement
their visions.
My hope is that AlumniCorps would
become known in the alumni commu-
nity as an organization that provides
both individual alumni and class lead-
ership with opportunities to be effi-
ciently, effectively, and jointly
engaged in civic service.
Is there anything else you would like
to share as incoming President?
While we continually seek donations
to make our programs possible, and
ensure that AlumniCorps has a sound
financial base moving forward, our
primary goal is to engage alumni in
ways that incorporate their time and
talent. There are many ways an alum
can give to the organization: with their
time, their money, their potential con-
nections with other sources of funding,
volunteer opportunities, mentoring
opportunities, or opportunities to be
trainers for Emerging Leaders, etc.
There is a broad array of ways to be
involved and contribute to
AlumniCorps. While money is always
greatly appreciated, it is not the only
thing for which we are looking.
Interview with President Kathy Miller ’77, Cont’d. Kathy Miller ’77 graduated from Princeton with an independent major in
Healthcare Resource Allocation: The Economics and Politics of Healthcare. After
working full time for several years, she obtained a Master's in Urban Affairs and
Public Policy from the New School for Social Research as a NYC Mayor's Graduate
fellow. Kathy has been working in healthcare ever since, and is now running her own
independent healthcare consulting business. She has been a partner and mentor with
AlumniCorps for years, and was elected President of the Board in December.
“When alumni are brought together through a program, connections are made and amazing partnerships and bonds are formed which otherwise may not have been.”

Nonprofit professionals working in New York along with
their peers in Washington, DC can now take advantage of
the hugely successful Emerging Leaders professional
development program, thanks to a very generous grant
from the Rita Allen Foundation. An expansive network of
nonprofit organizations and executives combined with an
innovative curriculum, Emerging Leaders uniquely
prepares organizations to address the growing leadership
gap in the sector, identified by many in the field, including
the Bridgespan Group.
Through highly effective, in-depth knowledge sharing,
peer community building, and skills improvement,
Emerging Leaders creates a cohort of aspiring nonprofit
executives early in their careers while they are still
committed to the sector. Current participants are thrilled
with the far-reaching impact of the program as it enables
them to accelerate their growth and contributions more
rigorously and quickly than they otherwise could.
Emerging Leader Kyndall Parker ’06 states, “The
lessons I've learned from Emerging Leaders have made
me a better manager, direct report, and peer and put
me in a position to have been recently promoted to
Senior Director of Operations.” The program runs for 8
full-day sessions over 8 consecutive months and is open to
all university graduates who meet the application criteria.
The application deadline is March 15th.
Please note that there is an application fee of $20. This fee is
waived for Princeton Project 55 Fellowship Program alumni.
The nominal participation fee of $350 for each applicant who is
accepted may be covered by employers.

More than 140 candidates were
interviewed for Project 55 fellowships this
year between January 5 and 17. We would
like to extend our gratitude to all of our
alumni interviewers for coming to
Princeton and sharing their enthusiasm
and experience with applicants.
We would like to extend a special thank
you to former PP55 fellows Eloise
Salmon ’07 and Whitney Williams ’09.
Eloise and Whitney learned the details of
all of our partner organizations and
locations to serve as lead interviewers.
They each directed seven interviews a day
for three consecutive days and their active
role greatly contributed to the interview
process this year.
In addition to Eloise and Whitney, 24
alumni and volunteers participated in
interviews this year, including four Board
members, seven former fellows, and ten
current fellows.

Thank You, Interviewers!
Boston hopes to grow its
Princeton AlumniCorps base
next year and recruited five
organizations to submit
positions this fall, reports
Lizzie Harvey ’06. Many
thanks are due to Tom Flynn
p’10 and the rest of the Boston
Steering Committee for their
continued recruitment efforts.
Current and past fellows joined
with Harvard Center for the Public
Interest Fellows to celebrate the
holidays at Russell House Tavern in
Harvard Square in December. This
past January, the Boston program held
a seminar on sustainability and is
looking forward to upcoming seminars
on medicine and education.
The Chicago PP55 fellows continue
to collaborate with fellows from the
University of Chicago and
Northwestern University in their
weekly seminar series. Recent
seminars included a conversation with
Mildred Wiley and Howard “Nat”
Piggee ’96 at Bethel New Life, a
community development organization
on Chicago’s West Side, where
Kathleen Connor ’11 is currently a
fellow. Another seminar was led by
David Kay at METROsquash, an
organization that uses squash to draw
Chicago public school students into
experiences that broaden their
educational, cultural, and community
service horizons. METROsquash has
hosted many PP55 fellows, including
current fellow Jackie Moss ’11. PP55
fellows were joined by Northwestern
and University of Chicago fellows for
a holiday gathering in December, and
are looking forward to more
gatherings in the coming months.
Board members Paula Morency ’77
and Tom Allison ’66 are leading the
effort to build out Community
Volunteers in Chicago. Stay tuned!
“The Connecticut branch of
AlumniCorps and the PP55
Fellowship Program has been blessed
with outstanding fellows again this
year,” writes Harry Berkowitz ’55.
Julia Kearney ’11 and Michael
Belmont ’11 are at the Norwalk
Community Health Center, where they
have been immersed in every aspect of
the Center and are playing an integral
role in its functioning. Tiffany Lee
’11, at Housing Development Fund,
has likewise reported she is deeply
involved in the organization, and is
enjoying her fellowship. The fellows
continue to travel to New York to join
the New York AlumniCorps family in
their monthly seminars. Fellows have
enjoyed meals with Harry, who
continues to support the Connecticut
AlumniCorps community with his
good spirit and great energy.
Connecticut is looking forward to
hosting fellows again at the Norwalk
Community Health Center and the
Housing Development Fund in the
coming year, in addition to other new
partnerships with local organizations.
Kristen Smith ’03 reports that the
year continues to go well for the New
York AlumniCorps family. The annual
Career/Networking Night took place at
the home of Laurie & Arthur
Malman ’64 on Wednesday,
December 7th. Facilitators included
Paul Nehring ’10, Jess Jardine ’10
and Andrew Goldstein ’06.
Chet Safian ’55 & Jenny
Safian s’55 hosted a holiday
celebration at their beautiful
home on December 13th.
The NY program kicked off
the New Year on January 12th
with a trek uptown to the
Hispanic Society of America
for a seminar on the arts.
Distinguished panelists
included Marcus Burke ’69,
Mark Rossier and James Martin
(former Princeton dance teacher).
Marcus Burke, the Senior Curator at
the Hispanic Society of America, also
gave a tour of this hidden gem in
Washington Heights. This seminar
was organized with the help of Judy
Hole Suratt s’55.
On Wednesday, February 29th, Prep
for Prep will host a seminar on
‘Sustainable Food and Public Health’
featuring Dr. Gordon Douglas ’55,
Mia McDonald and Matt Rice.
On March 27th, at the Whitney
Museum, fellows will be receiving a
behind the scenes look at the museum
and its Biennial Exhibition due to the
hard work and planning of Scott
Taylor ’75 and NY Seminar
Committee Co-Chairs Katie Ko ’09
and Reilly Kiernan ’10.
Emerging Leaders will host its first
cohort in New York this year!
Applications are now available online.

Current fellow Joseph Sengoba ’10
is working to organize a forum
focusing on Philadelphia's criminal
justice system in the Spring, inspired
by the New York seminar at District
Attorney’s Office of New York, which
he attended. According to Carol
Rosenfeld ’05, the Philadelphia
fellows attended an amazing forum on
education reform at the beginning of
November, which was organized by
former PP55 fellow and Philadelphia
area committee member Katie
Thaeder ’09. February's seminar will
focus on using social media for social
change, and the group is also looking
forward to attending the Princeton
Global NetNight in March to practice
networking skills.
The Philadelphia area is thrilled that
they’re on track to once again double
the fellowship program for the coming
2012 - 2013 fellowship year. They are
continuing to recruit partner
organizations through the Spring
round - please email Carol Rosenfeld
’05 at [email protected] if
you know of any organizations in
Philadelphia that would benefit from
hosting a fellow.
Community Volunteers has launched
in Mercer County. Please view page 7

Julie Rubinger ’09 writes that the
Bay Area fellows are doing well. After
a career mixer hosted by the Harvard
CPIC program in October, Julie
reached out to members of the local
AlumniCorps community to
participate in a November seminar on
education. Entitled "The Future of K-
12 Education in America", panelists
included April Chou ’96 of KIPP Bay
Area, Andrew Garland ’01 of The
New Teacher Project, Derek Mitchell
of Partners in School Innovation, and
Kit Tollerson ’08 of Rocketship Education. The panelists
discussed the challenges of closing the
achievement gap, and how individuals
and organizations are developing
innovative solutions to improve public
education.
In early December, Chet Safian ’55
visited the Bay Area and met with all
of the fellows in the Marina district.
Chet recounted some wonderful stories
about the history of Project 55 and the
importance of public service. The
fellows celebrated the holidays with
other fellows from Stanford and
Harvard, at Yerba Buena Gardens in
downtown San Francisco.
Emily Silk ’10 and Sara Thardock
’11 report that the seminar series is
well under way in Washington, DC.
After taking part in an interactive
office dynamics seminar led by
Charity Fesler ’01 and Lisa Lazarus
’02 in December, fellows enjoyed a
January seminar about post-fellowship
plans: "Planning Your Next Move",
led by professional career coach and
talent recruiter Katie McNerney and
DC Area Committee Chair Ari
Altman ’97. Next up? A highly
anticipated discussion of
environmental policy, hosted by
Justin Smith ’90 at the Department of
Justice!
The DC region has also hosted a
number of more informal events:
December saw fellows, committee
members, and mentors gathered at the
home of Kathleen McCleery ’75 &
Bob Martinez ’75 for a holiday dinner
featuring delicious homemade soups
and equally enjoyable conversation.
Fellows also recently convened at
happy hour event planned by the three
newest additions to the DC area
committee: current fellows Carol
Dreibelbis ’11, Rachel Sverdlove
’11, and Sarah Twardock ’11. They
are now looking forward to a busy
spring—beginning in February, when
Kathleen McCleery ’75 will host
fellows at PBS NewsHour, where she
is Deputy Executive Producer.
AlumniCorps looks forward to
celebrating the inaugural year of
Emerging Leaders following the final
session on March 13th. We are
grateful to all of the individuals and
organizations whose ongoing support
has contributed to the great success of
the program. Nonprofit professionals
in Washington, DC who meet the
application criteria are encouraged to
apply now for the second year of the
program which will begin this
June. Please see page 3 for more
details!

What motivated you to get involved
with the Westminster Community
Life Center?
With the youngest of my children in
college, it was time for me to allocate
my time in new ways. My goal was to
put my Christian faith into action in a
local service program. Westminster
Presbyterian Church (WPC), home of
the Westminster Community Life
Center, appealed to me with its
longstanding record of leadership and
outreach. Westminster is in an area of
Trenton which faces a variety of
challenges, including high crime rates,
drug dealing, a low number of two-
parent home settings, and extremely
high drop-out rates in schools.
Can you describe the Center and
your responsibilities there?
My work at Westminster
Community Life Center has a variety
of aspects. Being self-employed, I am
able to carve out time to volunteer
there after school on Wednesdays to
provide homework assistance, reading
enrichment activities, and assist with a
food service. Kids who may not
otherwise have a substantial dinner are
fed a nutritious, hot meal.
The Center also has teen-level
outreach programs, which offer a safe
environment, coaching in life-skills,
and SAT college preparation.
How are you using your career
experience in publishing to help
meet key needs of the organization?
The Center’s students produce
writings and artwork that is collected
as a bound package. The middle
school students are producing a
multimedia CD to promote
constructive living and discourage
drug use and gang membership, and
the high school students are working
on an HIV prevention project.
I am planning to help expand the
scope of their publishing efforts
through a new initiative. The current
state of digital publishing (high quality
production with very low costs to
produce and distribute) enables us to
produce small books and multimedia
products of professional quality. Many
if not all of these can be sold via
channels such as Amazon. Irrespective
of what may happen on the 'sales'
front, all of the participants in this
process will be honing skills that could
lead to jobs in the publishing/media
marketplace, and career paths that are
important for the long-term health of
Trenton.
Why should Princetonians take
action through Community
Volunteers?
Many people talk about wanting to
make a difference but do not know
where to go or what to do. By aligning
with a reputable organization with a
proven track record, one has the
chance to be of service and learn more
about various issues. In my case that
has meant a greater understanding of
the direct and indirect effects of urban
problems, including the complexities
and impact of racism, and the
difficulties faced by youth in building
positive lives while being confronted
with obstacles such as joblessness and
gangs.
What do you enjoy most about your
volunteer work?
For me, the best part about this kind
of volunteering is that I have the
opportunity to serve in both concrete
and personal ways. I have been able to
live out my faith in a positive,
meaningful way while interacting with
others. The relationships I am building
with the staff, students, and parents,
along with the supportive schools and
community—all these relationships
and interactions make my volunteer
experience worthwhile.
