Students recognized for service and achievement at Class Day

Members of Princeton's class of 2009 gathered on Cannon Green Monday, June 1, to celebrate the conclusion of their undergraduate careers in a Class Day ceremony honoring their service and accomplishments. The Harold Willis Dodds Prize was awarded to Sarah Dajani of Seminole, Fla., and Fiona Miller of Florence, Mass. The award recognizes seniors who best embody the qualities of Princeton's 15th president, Harold Dodds, "particularly in the qualities of clear thinking, moral courage, a patient and judicious regard for the opinions of others, and a thorough devotion to the welfare of the University and to the life of the mind." Dajani helped foster dialogue between different religious and cultural groups on campus as president of the Muslim Students Association. A Woodrow Wilson School major, Dajani was a member of the Religious Life Council and the University's Priorities Committee. She also wrote for The Daily Princetonian student newspaper as a reporter and opinion columnist. Miller, a comparative literature major, has been a leader in the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community. She helped organize events such as Pride Week and National Coming Out Day, was an officer for the student organization Pride Alliance and was a peer educator on lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender issues.
