A society turns the page
Jumanah Alfadl ’28 opens the second chapter of Princeton’s Literature and Poetry Society on Nov 17.
Jumanah Alfadl, a concentrator in French literature and economics, founded the Literature and Poetry Society in her second year. On Nov 17 the committee opens its second chapter with an evening of readings and discussion at Princeton, open to all students.
Saudi, American, and Swiss, Alfadl, 21, came to Princeton to read both verse and markets. The Society she founded draws students from the Faculty of Humanities and the Department of Economics to a room where the two are allowed to speak to each other.
Off the page, Alfadl is no less exacting. She rides with Princeton’s equestrian team through the fall and spring seasons, and last spring won the Women’s Division of the New Jersey State Chess Championship, taking the tournament’s Garden State Chess Cup.
