Butler College - Princeton University

Butler College - Princeton University Butler College events are open to all students affiliated with the College. Many programs are organized jointly with our paired two-year college, Wilson.

With the opening of the new Butler dormitories and common spaces in September 2009, Butler became a four-year college, housing over a hundred juniors and seniors along with approximately four hundred underclassmen, ten graduate students, and a resident faculty fellow. Butler residents hail from every corner of the nation and the globe, and represent a remarkable diversity of backgrounds and intere

sts. One of the aims of the residential college system is to build a strong sense of community, providing a living and learning environment that serves to enrich the Princeton experience in untold ways. Butler’s academic and social programming, much of which is organized by the students themselves, complements the classroom and extracurricular experience.

We're so proud of Naomi Hess '22 who, after advocating for a more accessible Princeton University, became the first person in a wheelchair to enter and tour Nassau Hall without any assistance. Thank you for your voice and your hard work, Naomi! Current and future Butler Bees and Princeton Tigers appreciate you!

Summer renovations added a new entrance and elevator to make the 265-year-old building accessible to wheelchair users.

Dear Butler Family: Please join us on April 9, 4:00-5:00pm to honor and remember Laura Wooten, the card checker at the Butler dining hall for 27 years and the longest-serving poll worker in U.S. history before she passed in March 2019. If you didn’t know her, come learn about her life and legacy. If you did know her, please share your own thoughts and memories, in person and on our website. You can find more information at laurawooten.princeton.edu.

Laura Wooten left her mark on Princeton and the nation, serving for years as the card checker at the entrance to the Butler College dining hall and becoming the longest-serving poll worker in U.S. history before her passing at age 98 in March 2019. Born just months after the ratification of the Nineteenth Amendment and raised in segregated Princeton, she saw the inauguration of the first African-American president and nearly saw the election of our first woman vice president. She was truly “one of the great moral leaders of our state and nation,” in the words of NJ Governor Phil Murphy, and a bill in her name promoting civics education, “Laura Wooten’s Law,” has passed in the New Jersey Senate and is currently making its way through the General Assembly. In her 27 years working at the Butler dining hall, her 79 years as a poll worker, and her lifetime in the Princeton community, Laura has touched the lives of generations of students, faculty, staff, and community members. We are honored to remember her life and legacy.

This event is open to the public.
If you know of others who may wish to commemorate Laura, please feel free to share this invitation. We look forward to celebrating Laura and her legacy with you all.
