Grad Alley

Tuesday, May 21, 2013

5:00-8:00 pm

 

The Class of 2013, their families, and their friends are invited to attend the 17th annual Grad Alley, a Commencement eve celebration marking the accomplishments of our graduates, on Tuesday, May 21st, from 5:00-8:00 pm.

The square is alive with an air of nostalgia and excitement along West Fourth Street, Washington Square East, Gould Plaza, LaGuardia Place, Schwartz Plaza, and in the Frederick Loewe Theatre and the Kimmel Center's 3rd floor Market Place and 4th floor Eisner & Lubin Auditorium. Banners will serve as guides while you stroll down Grad Alley enjoying the entertainment as well as jugglers, mimes, Lady Liberty and more. Snacks are available while taking in the sights and entertainment.

Guests will enjoy a number of entertainment venues including NYU Dance Fever on Gould Plaza, where you can dance the night away or just relax to the sounds of DJ Marcus; NYU’s Got Talent Performance Stage in the Eisner & Lubin Auditorium starring our very own students;  NYU Jazz Café on LaGuardia Place, featuring the NYU Steinhardt Jazz Orchestra with a number of special guest performances; our NYU Pep Band on Washington Square South and much more.

Four Grad Alley admission wristbands, one for the candidate and three for guests, will be included automatically with each candidate's All-University Commencement tickets ordered.

Grad Alley takes place rain or shine.

NYUGreen: Sustainability

We would like to remind everyone that as a private university in the public service, NYU has a responsibility to embed environmental values at the core of its administrative operations and academic mission. This year at Grad Alley, we will be using compostable serving ware and providing separate waste receptacles for recycling and compost. Disposal stations will be located throughout the event.

Please look for the signs and dispose of waste in a mindful manner.  

Thank you!
