New York University Student Feste

As I finish up my practicum hours this week, I am amazed at how everything has come full circle. As someone who came into college with no clue of what I wanted to do after graduation, I found that the Office of Student Engagement allowed me to develop as a person and figure out the things that are most important to me. As I started to get more involved on-campus and take on more leadership roles, I started to gain an interest in working in the field of higher education in hopes to provide this same experience to other college students. By having the opportunity to work with Patrick Dezort, the Director of Student Development and Engagement at Felician University, as part of my Field Practicum in Psychology course, I was hoping to get

Visiting New York, I was heavily impressed by the vitality of this dynamic and influential metropole as by the cultural diversity on NYU’s campus. Furthermore, I liked the attitude of NYU’s founders, stating that this University is graciously open to all, which I as a non-U.S. Citizen appreciate in particular, just as the fact that NYU has the highest number of international students in the United States. Moreover, earning a degree adapted to current exigencies is crucial for me. The non-denominational concept is also exemplary, as it conveys a world open attitude, which is identical to my own one and extremely important to me in a globalized world. The “open” Washington Square Campus, located in the heart of Manhattan promotes interaction

I owe much of my success to great mentors. Given the increased competitiveness and projected growth of media industries, it is vital that we provide guidance for the next generation. I would love to help connect prospective students and future media professionals to the invaluable resources, connections, and education that USC Annenberg provides. Bridging the gap between student life and the professional world is a significant priority of mine.

It might be difficult to persuade you that my affinity for New York University grew out of a teenage love affair, especially one that wasn’t even my own and furthermore, one that began ten years before I was even born, but that’s exactly how fate planted this seed as the relationship of young Tywanna and Dwayne Williams blossomed from their frequent dates at the Waverly Place diner; commencing my path to the school. Tywanna and Dwayne eventually fell in love, got married, had three children and raised a family whose morals and values were built upon individuality, passion, and diligence. Their goal was always to provide us with opportunities and expose us to as much as we could, even if it meant a short ride over the Williamsburg bridge to

The 2002 internal report states: NYU is a completely different institution than it was twenty years ago and quite different than it was only ten years ago.” During that time, it implemented a recruitment strategy marked by a continuing ability to attract some of the best graduate and professional students in the world. NYU has more international students than any other university in the United States. NYU currently houses more than twice as many students as it did ten years ago. The SAT scores of entering undergraduates are at unprecedented levels, having risen nearly 100 points in less than a decade. The academic trajectory of most units is on the ascent, although there are inevitable differences among

At Pace University, I realized that childhood dreams do come true sometimes. My decision to study at Pace University was initially received with anger and fear. Ultimately, my parents put aside their feelings and decided to support me in my endeavors. I disembarked in New York soon after and was warmly welcomed by peers, faculty and staff. Being a student from India in a small town like Pleasantville, I was a center of the attraction for a while as many students even wanted to know how I learned to speak

Top-tier colleges are becoming increasingly competitive; therefor, acceptance rates are at an all-time low. Universities are receiving more and more uniform applications, so leadership abilities, exceptional essays, unique extracurricular activities, and high test scores can help to solidify a noteworthy application. The competition is fierce for acceptance because a college degree is essential in today’s world for most career paths. Among the degrees that can be obtained, a degree from an Ivy League

In reading the article Higher Education, Liberal Arts and Shakespeare written by Frank Bruni, my thoughts centered on my own experiences in instruction from the beginnings of formal education with many knowledgeable teachers who created in my life a desire to impart this exciting experience to future students. This shared goal between myself and Bruni originated from the excitement and excellent experiences demonstrated by outstanding role models.

The freshman research symposium was an extremely beneficial one credit course which granted me insight to a multitude of research opportunities both inside my major and in alternative interesting topics. While the two-day course incorporated a wide array of individuals presenting their research, some stood out more than others for my personal interests. Overall, the symposium successfully expanded my research desires both in fields that are relevant to my major and for those that fall outside of it.

The first time I heard about NYU was when my mom introduced me to her best friend Wendy Shao. Wendy studied at NYU in the 1996th as a graduate student who emphasized on composing poetry. During the time she stayed in China, my mom and I often go and visit her, and She always talks about her experience at NYU such as the creativity, and energy the students and faculty have, and how the students there are striving for excellence. When she was admitted, she received the New York Foundation for the Arts scholarships and the Rona Jaffe Foundation Writer’s award, which opened hundreds and thousands opportunities for her to success. She told me this is one of the greatest things about NYU is that the school provided her a huge platform where she

Some of the most satisfying and beneficial parts of my BFA experience were discovering, practicing, and debating art with a close group of peers and skilled instructors. To be part of a group of like-minded people who are interested in honing in on challenging one’s own perceptions and preconceptions has been invaluable to me and possibly not replicated in a different way. Creating bonds with equally serious and focused classmates in graduate school is something I’m looking forward to. During my visit to UNC, Hong-An Truong gave me a tour of the facilities and included me in one of the grad critiques. I could feel the supportive atmosphere and openness between the students and teachers. The program at UNC would be such a fitting environment for me and a place where I would be able to really take my ambition to the next level and to hone my ideas conceptually as

During that course, I became a stronger writer who was drawn outside of my normally introverted comfort zone. I moved beyond the “check that box” mentality into a mindset established for a journey towards excellence. In the end, my classmates awarded me, the once shy girl, the best actor for my role as John Proctor in the Crucible, and the teacher chose me as the AP Language and Composition Student-of-the-Year. Awards aside, I grew more confident and had a literary piece published later that year. My literary “family” shared in my educational journey as I worked valiantly on a trickle- down effect for my successors, should they choose to emulate our team’s

The Faculty of Liberal Arts & Professional Studies alum, who graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from York in 1994, returned to campus to receive an Honorary Doctor of Laws. He shares with new graduates and guests how his experience at York was integral to landing “the best job in the city.” He learned how to talk on the radio here, during his involvement as a music director with CHRY 105.5FM, York University’s campus radio station, which at the time was located at Vanier College and only served campus residences and the cafeteria at

NYU depicts the melting pot of cultures that New York City is. It offers students a social environment, academic rigor, and a prime area that is fundamental to making a successful and inspired student body. Living in New York City for so long you see diversity everywhere. In a diverse environment, for example, this one, students instruct each other in ways that ordinary classroom don't. Realizing that NYU has such a connection with group of students, I am overjoyed about joining that gathering of skilled

As I was searching around the country for colleges to apply to, my cousin, who went to the Columbia Law School, recommended that I consider Columbia University. Initially, I was hesitant, thinking that Columbia was for the “ultra-nerdy” and only concerned about academics. However, after going to an informational session, doing research, and visiting the Manhattan campus; I discovered so much more about Columbia. One detail that caught my attention was the unique 3-2 Program that the college offers so that students can pursue both a Bachelor of the Arts and a Bachelor of Science degree. This is important to me because I cannot decide whether I want to pursue a scientific career or a job in education or political science, and this will allow me to attain both. Outside of the educational realm, I also loved Columbia’s location in Manhattan. When I visited Columbia, it was my first time in New York City, and I instantly fell in love with its cosmopolitan nature. Columbia’s New York location and its great historical reputation give a great opportunity for students to connect with businesses related to the students’ fields and find internships and jobs easily. Columbia’s reputation also gives it numerous connections with many global leaders, many of who are alumni. This not only gives students the opportunity to discuss real-world issues with those who make decisions, but also reinforces the fact that students set themselves up for a great life when they attend Columbia
