Def Jam Records

In the early 1980s, Rick Rubin, co-founder of Def Jam Records, lived in Room 712 of NYU's Weinstein Residence Hall on University Place, where he collaborated with Russell Simmons on what is now one of hip hop's most influential record labels.

In addition to program and campuses abroad, NYU has established parallel research institutes at Washington Square with academic foci on particular countries or regions. The international houses at NYU serve as academic forums supporting faculty research intersecting with particular geographic areas. The international houses typically sponsor academic conferences and colloquia, host visiting international scholars and prominent guest lecturers, and coordinate activities across related programs and institutes at NYU. Equally important, the international houses reinforce faculty and student engagement in the NYU's programs abroad and frequently offer joint programming with the NYU campuses abroad.
