2016 Gary Walters ’67 PVC Awards Banquet

Special Issue

It was our distinct honor to celebrate the great Class of 2016 at the Gary Walters ’67 PVC Awards Banquet on Thursday, May 26th, before Reunions. Over 600 members of the Princeton Athletics family gathered as part of this exciting event that recognized the accomplishments of the Princeton Athletics community, including senior student-athletes, alumni, staff and friends.

We’d like to thank our loyal PVC members for their ongoing support. Your collective commitment to the Princeton Varsity Club and Princeton Athletics helps to provide opportunities for all varsity student-athletes to achieve, to serve and to lead while encompassing “Education through Athletics.”

We also recognize the continued dedication of the PVC Awards Banquet table sponsors and PVC Letter Sweater sponsors whose generosity allows the PVC to properly recognize the entire graduating class of senior student-athletes. On behalf of all of our varsity student-athletes, head coaches, administrators, and the entire Princeton Athletics community, we thank and salute all of our supporters.

We hope you enjoy this special issue of the PVC News and look forward to seeing you in 2016-17! Go TIGERS!!!

ACHIEVE. SERVE. LEAD.

Senior Keynote Speaker

Chris Perez ’16“Being a leader is a complicated task. Envision scoring a goal,

crossing a finish line or raising a trophy over your head. Envision

where you want to be in the future, then hold on to that and work

for it the same way you worked for your athletic goals. Leadership

requires others. Surround yourself with people that are going to

maximize your efforts and try to maximize theirs as well.”

A psychology major, Chris was selected to address the audience as a result of his perseverance and leadership of the wrestling team.
