Spotlight on: NYU Alumni and Parents Weekend Discounts
October 15, 2021
NYU Alumni and Parents Weekend is the largest alumni event of the year. October 21–24, attendees from across the globe will join together online to explore the future of education, technology, work, healthcare, and life after COVID-19; learn more about how NYU is impacting the world at large; connect to university resources and each other; and celebrate the largest private university network in the US!
To help make the event truly special, several of our alumni-owned businesses are offering special discounts to fellow Violets to keep your bellies, bodies, and best (pet) buds in tip top shape throughout the weekend.
