Squash Senior Natalie Tung Receives Prestigious Fisher Prize

Senior Natalie Tung, a member of the Princeton women's squash team, has been awarded the prestigious A. James Fisher, Jr. Memorial Prize – an honor awarded annually by the Pace Center for Civic Engagement to a Princeton senior who demonstrates an entrepreneurial spirit; exudes a zest for life; enthusiastically builds community at Princeton; mentors and promotes their peers; and is committed to Princeton and its mission of service.

As the co-founder and executive director of HomeWorks (link is external), a nonprofit organization that provides an afterschool boarding program to underserved middle and high school girls in Trenton, NJ, she is making an impact on campus and in the community.

"I am the most happy when I feel like I can make a difference, and when there is meaning to the work," Tung said in a profile piece last season. "My parents were able to support me and allow me to come to these amazing schools, and I don't want to waste this opportunity. I want to use my education to give back. I feel like that is the whole purpose of why I am here at Princeton. I have always been passionate about doing something, but doing something in entrepreneurship, it does allow me to have control over it."
