Clara Goldberg

Belonging & Campus Engagement Coordinator

As the Belonging & Campus Engagement Coordinator, Clara is dedicated to making the Center for Jewish Life a warm, welcoming home-away-from-home for every Princeton student.  

Clara is from Potomac, Maryland, and graduated from the Double Degree Program of Barnard College and the Jewish Theological Seminary with a B.A. in English and Creative Writing and a B.A. in Jewish History. Clara brings a deep love for history and storytelling to her work, including her time working at the YIVO Institute for Jewish Research, where she helped create the first comprehensive map of Pre-War Shtetls, a resource from which any person could learn. 

Her work at CJL helps students discover their place, build lasting connections, and support them in their own Jewish journey. In her spare time, you can find her working on her novel, playing Taylor Swift songs on guitar, or trying to find the best bagel in Princeton. Drop by to grab coffee, brainstorm ideas, or just say hi!
