Since Wasserman is operating in a hybrid model, we encourage students and on-campus supervisors to use our contact form to optimize communication service.
If you are a non-NYU employer seeking to verify a student's on-campus employment, send an email request to oncampusemployment@nyu.edu. Please know that our office can only confirm dates of employment. We do not provide subjective information such as job performance reviews or recommendations to hire students. Consider reaching out to the student's direct supervisor and/or department if you need more information.
