Contrary to popular belief, Princeton Project 55, the independent alumni-led nonprofit started by members of the Class of 1955, did not have an apostrophe in its name. The “55” never identified the class, said Kenly Webster ’55, one of the founders, but the age at which many alumni are “winding down their careers” and can dedicate more time to volunteering.That confusion soon should disappear. In May, the 20-year-old program changed its name to AlumniCorps.“We felt we needed a pan-alumni name,” says Webster, chairman of the AlumniCorps board. “The name is an invitation and increases the possibility of attracting a larger audience of participants.”To read more about the organization's expansion, including a new program that aims to get experienced alumni involved with D.C. and Trenton-area non-profits, click here.
