The Williams Club in New York City — a private alumni club that offers networking and educational programming to its members — moved to the Penn Club building in March 2022 after 12 years of being housed at the Princeton Club. The move was prompted by the Princeton Club’s financial difficulties, which led to the permanent closure of the Princeton Club in October 2021.
