Princeton University Hidden Minority Council.
The Princeton Hidden Minority Council (PHMC) is a student organization at Princeton University dedicated to supporting and advocating for students who are the first in their families to attend college or are from low income circumstances (FLI). The group was founded in 2013 by eight students who recognized the need for a supportive space for FLI students on campus. PHMC seeks to connect FLI students with existing resources, develop additional resources, and to foster awareness and reduce stigma for FLI students by sharing stories and insights about their experiences.
