I’d like to wish a very special “Happy 90th Birthday” to the NYU School of Professional Studies! Since 1934, we’ve been committed to preparing future leaders across industries and empowering individuals to pursue their dreams and exceed their expectations. I’m proud to lead the NYU SPS community into its next chapter, and excited to build on the foundation of those that have come before me to keep creating a vibrant and diverse, welcoming and accessible global community in which students, faculty, staff, and alumni feel supported, connected, and inspired to do their best work.
Thank you to our faculty and staff who continuously ensure we offer academically demanding, real-world learning experiences that challenge students to solve problems facing leading organizations, while building high-impact skills and relationships. Your dedication is a testament to our long-standing success.
And, students, I look forward to seeing how you leave your mark on NYU SPS’ legacy. As you take your knowledge and skills out into the world, I know you’ll represent us proudly in all that you do.
One of the reasons NYU SPS is celebrating 90 years strong is because we have continued to grow and deepen the ways we serve and build our school community. The summer gives us an opportunity to look ahead to the next year and create the roadmap for taking our next steps together on this journey. The season also offers a chance to travel, connect, and learn outside the classroom. This summer, our SPS community has been gaining real-world experience—around the world!
From Global Field Intensives in Ghana, Paris & Cannes, Shanghai, Greece, and more, to the inaugural Future Workforce Global Summit in Berlin, Germany to our first alumni trip to Florence, Italy, it’s been a joy to see our students and faculty thriving around the globe. I’ve also been thrilled to hear of amazing internships with the likes of the U.S. Tennis Association, Triangle Loft, Major Food Group, Miles Ahead Sports Marketing, Destinations International, and more! The ingenuity of our students was on full display at NYU Tulsa’s Pitch Contest through the NYU SPS Tisch Center of Hospitality HI HUB Incubator. What an incredible summer all around!
During these long summer days, I hope you continue to rest, recharge, and get ready to bring NYU SPS into its next chapter. I look forward to celebrating the 90th anniversary through events and initiatives all semester long!
Warmly,
