Events and Celebrations

An NYU tradition for 25 years, Grad Alley is a fun outdoor celebration for the graduating students and their guests on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. The streets around Washington Square will be transformed into a festive street fair with entertainment, giveaways, and refreshments for the graduates.  

Celebrate your achievements at the Cultural and Identity-based Graduations. The NYU Cultural and Identity-based Graduations were planned in partnership with cultural/identity-based student groups, the Center for Student Life, the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs, and the LGBTQ+ Center.

Each individual school will hold its own ceremony or event in honor of its graduates. Candidates may attend their school ceremony or event in addition to the All-University Commencement. School ceremonies and All-University Commencement are separate events, and both require unique tickets.
