Senior Dinners with the Deans
Dean Choi and Assoc. Dean Greenbaum will be hosting monthly dinners exclusively for seniors, to give graduating students an opportunity to talk about their experiences at NYU and Stern as well as their plans and ideas for the future with the School’s leadership . These series of dinners will be held over the course of the spring semester at local restaurants. Seniors can RSVP through CampusGroups. A lottery system will be used and space will be limited to keep dinners small and conversational.

Seniors: Submit a Speech for Graduation
We’d like to invite all graduating seniors to participate in our annual speech competition to determine the student speaker at the Stern Baccalaureate Ceremony on Wednesday, May 18. All graduating students are invited to submit a speech, which will be reviewed by a judging panel made up of students, administrators, and faculty. A select group will then be invited to audition on March 2 during common hour. In the past, speeches have ranged from humorous to reflective and successful ones incorporate some of the following qualities:

  • A focus on your specific experiences as an undergraduate at Stern
  • Embody shared sentiments with your class
  • Include key learnings and important life changes you’ve experienced at Stern
  • Incorporate parting words and/or an outlook for the future of your graduating class
  • Be appropriate and enjoyable for the entire audience (your peers, families, friends, faculty & administrators)
  • Length should be between 3 to 5 minutes (Approximately 750 to 1250 words)

To be considered, speeches must be submitted by email to sternuc@stern.nyu.edu by Midnight on Sunday, February 13. Please include your email and phone number.
