Congratulations!

Thank you for considering Princeton Chemistry for this exciting next step in your academic career!  We are eager for you to experience what makes our department unique.  Please join us for our 2026 Visit Weekend to learn about our state-of-the-art research facilities, robust academic program, and beautiful campus. Share in the collegiality of our academic community as you discuss your research and interests with our faculty and current students.

This year’s in-person visit:

• Friday & Saturday, February 20 and 21, 2026

Whether you are able to attend our Visiting Weekend or not, please bookmark this site to serve as your online reference. For those planning to attend, read all FAQs for more information about travel, reimbursements and other details. If you are unable to attend, look at the “Resources” tab at the top of the page for information about housing, campus life and much more. Deadline to register for the Visiting Weekend: Feb. 6th.

Weekend Schedule & Faculty Selection:

As you make your decision about attending, please review the table below that shows which faculty who are interested in having new students join their group and will be available to meet over the weekend (indicated by a ‘yes’ or ‘yes – lab rep’ in the date columns) to discuss your interests and reseach. Formal adviser selections do not occur until the end of the first semester, allowing first-year students to explore the department or conduct rotations with a few faculty. If a specific faculty member in whose research you are interested is not available when you visit, you are welcome to meet with representatives of the lab or contact the faculty directly outside of Visiting Weekend. Meetings with associated faculty from other departments may be arranged by request.

*Note: You may select up to 5 faculty members to meet with. If faculty who you have not requested would like to meet with you, they will also be added to your schedule.
