The PVC also takes coaches on the road, extending the “PVC Coaches Luncheon” model to locations outside Princeton, in an effort to provide alums with the same experiences and opportunities to connect that local Princetonians are able to enjoy.
On this portion of the site, you’ll see a number of different examples of “PVC on the Road” events held over the past several years, in locations from Boston, Massachusetts to Tampa, Florida.
