Next Monday, March 29, Princeton University will begin distributing Census forms to Frist Center mailboxes for students who live on campus. Students will also find another envelope in their mailbox that week, containing a short letter and a pink sticker with the following words: Attn: U.S. Census Bureau It’s Time To Count Everyone!
