Dear Senior, I am delighted to welcome you to senior status in the College of Arts and Science. The degree that you will receive this year attests to your excellence and your efforts. You have been true to the University's motto, "Perstare et Praestare" - you have persevered and excelled. I hope that your time at NYU has brought you many satisfactions - the excitement of intellectual discovery, the chance to grow personally, the opportunity for community service, and the warmth of friendships that will last a lifetime. Your final year will bring many new satisfactions, but also many challenges and decisions. We have created this website to inform you about the resources the College and the University provide to assist you at this time of transition. I wish you all the best during your senior year, and I hope that your relationship with the College will continue and grow deeper with the passing years. Sincerely yours, Matthew S. Santirocco Dean
