Commencement | Grad Alley

The Class of 2009, their families, and their friends are invited to attend the 13th Annual Grad Alley, a Commencement eve celebration marking the accomplishments of our graduates, on Tuesday, May 12th, from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm. Three Grad Alley admission wristbands, one for the candidate and two for guests, will be included with each candidate's All-University Commencement tickets that were ordered via TorchTone. 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, and plenty of games and crafts. Plenty of food is available for a bite to eat while taking in the sights. The campus on the square is alive with an air of nostalgia and excitement.

Grad Alley takes place rain or shine.
