Washington Square Park is once again in full bloom with the welcome of the class of 2028! New students participated in a series of curated orientation events, from the U.S. Open to the Cohort Challenge, bonding with their cohorts and learning about academic, social impact, global, professional, and community tools, resources, and opportunities to set them up for success at NYU Stern.

This year’s Orientation week ended with an energetic Convocation, the official NYU Stern Undergraduate College (UC) Welcome Event. Here, they were serenaded by Orientation Leaders performing an original Stern UC song, and welcomed by Vice Dean Rohit Deo, Interim Dean J.P. Eggers, and Senior Associate Dean Victor Mullins.

Beyond team-building and acclimating to new surroundings, the start of the academic year also presents students with the opportunity to reflect on how to flourish throughout their new college adventure through the Cohort Leadership Program (CLP), hosted by the UC every fall semester to facilitate community building among new students.

A huge welcome to all of our new students! We can’t wait to see what you accomplish this year!
