Raphaela Gold ’26 Reported on Student Mental Health for the ‘Prince’

This is the Princeton Alumni Weekly’s PAWcast, where we talk with Princetonians about what’s happening on campus and beyond. At the end of July, a pretty big story appeared on The Daily Princetonian’s website, one that took Raphaela Gold ’26 about a year and a half to report. It was a deep dive into mental health care on Princeton’s campus, and in particular into what happens to students who experience the most severe crises, the kind that might require hospitalization or a leave of absence. On the PAWcast she discussed how she reported the story — and what she found.
