Graduate Welcome Week

 

Are you a prospective Graduate Student looking to learn about services NYU provides to meet new people and learn about NYU resources? Grad Welcome Week is a series of programs and events designed to assist you in your transition to NYU and NYC. At the beginning of every semester, the Office of Graduate Life presents a series of Welcome Week programs that are a great way to get to know the university and experience New York City. To learn about past program offerings, please feel free to browse the Fall 2009 schedule of events.

Welcome Week programs are not mandatory, and they do not provide registration and advisement to new students. These services are available through your individual NYU school and department orientations.
