Princeton faculty members are all exceptional scholars in their disciplines who are expected to teach as well as engage in research. Faculty work closely with undergraduates in the supervision of junior year independent work and senior theses.

Princeton University recently highlighted Politics Professors Frances Lee and Leonard Wantchekon as Exceptional Faculty on the University's homepage.

2023 Global Economy Prize winner Wantchekon came of age as a pro-democracy student activist in Benin. He was a keynote speaker and co-host for the recent World Bank-UN Refugee Agency conference on forced displacement.
