Dear NYU SPS Community,
At NYU SPS, we're committed to finding real-world, transformative solutions through sustainability, philanthropy, and research, and I’m excited to share some of the successes we’ve already achieved this semester.
Sustainability
April is an opportunity to renew our commitment to sustainability initiatives via these upcoming events:
- Financing the Future: Learn about renewable energy infrastructure and network with industry professionals.
- Clean Start Capstone: Celebrate the 10th anniversary of this program while seeing the latest in clean energy research from NYU SPS students.
Philanthropy
I'm also thrilled to share that we have secured an exciting philanthropic partnership with the Ford Foundation, Philanthropy NY, and The Center on International Cooperation (CIC) to co-host an event at the end of April—an engaging discussion for policymakers, philanthropists, and multi-sector leaders working to shape a better tomorrow. Learn more and secure your spot, here.
Research
We are always looking ahead at NYU SPS, and recent research developments from students and faculty highlight how we are shaping the world around us.
- Last month, NYU SPS students and faculty presented three separate research papers at the IEEE Integrated STEM Education Conference (ISEC) 2025 at Princeton University.
- Congratulations to Tisch Institute for Global Sport recent graduate Smit Bajaj and NYU Stern School of Business student Vishakh Sandwar for winning the 2025 National Football League (NFL) Big Data Bowl out of 400+ submissions! Their digital whiteboard project lets users interactively change the positions and placements of all players on the football field to explore different strategies and potential outcomes.
I’m looking forward to reconnecting with alumni at the NYU SPS reunion and recognizing our faculty and staff at our annual awards event.
As we look ahead to commencement, I hope you’ll participate in our crowdsourced graduation playlist! Please share songs that connect to your SPS experience.
Warmly,
