Campus and Community

2022 at NYU will be remembered for many things—among them the vaccination policy that allowed us to resume nearly all of our pre-pandemic campus activities; the historic triple Commencement honoring the classes of '20, '21, and '22 at Yankee Stadium; and several big firsts in areas ranging from academic rankings to athletics. Our University photographers captured all of that and more, providing a visual record of campus life in each season. Below are 22 snapshots that tell the story of our year and point toward our future—click on any image to revisit its original context on @nyuniversity's Instagram grid.
