The Class of 2008, their families, and their friends are invited to attend the 12th annual Grad Alley, a Commencement Eve celebration marking the accomplishments of our graduates, on Tuesday, May 13th, from 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm. Three Grad Alley lanyards (passes for admission), automatically included in your TorchTone order for Commencement tickets, may be picked up during Commencement ticket distribution by each candidate, one for the graduate and two for guests.

(If you miss the TorchTone deadline, your Grad Alley lanyards will be included with your Commencement tickets when you order and pick these up in person during ticket distribution.)

A carnival type atmosphere is created along West Fourth Street, La Guardia Place, and the NYU plazas. Banners will serve as a guide while you stroll down Grad Alley enjoying the many entertainment opportunities including jugglers, mimes, Lady Liberty, arcade games and more. Food is available for a bite to eat while taking in the sights.

The sounds of a live D.J. fill Gould Plaza encouraging graduates, their families and friends to dance and party the night away. The campus on the square is alive with an air of nostalgia and excitement. As the sun sets, a fireworks display off the rooftops from Gould Plaza announces the roar of Commencement to follow the next morning.

Grad Alley takes place rain or shine.

Don't miss the fireworks on Gould Plaza at 8:00 p.m.!
