Princeton’s 2017 Compass workshop took place from February 10th through the 12th. The workshop featured a discussion session on the first night on presenting and facilitating seminars and six discussion sessions over the course of the two remaining days, led by undergraduate students, on papers in a variety of sub-disciplines within philosophy. In addition to discussion sessions, the workshop featured two advice sessions with female faculty mentors on the following topics: “Thinking about Graduate School?” and “How to Get the Most Out of Your Academic Experience”.
