So you’re interested in NYU: you’ve looked at the website and you’ve attended an info session. You’re also on Meet NYU right now, so clearly you’re doing your research. But if you want to go deeper, there are lots of ways to connect virtually with NYU to get a feel for our different schools and programs. A good next step is to check school and department social media accounts. Then, check to see if they are offering school-based info sessions or open houses. Departments and programs at NYU also often have events that are open to the public. And since many are continuing to make them digitally accessible, you can attend from wherever you are.
Experience NYU’s Trailblazing Faculty
You can register for the NYU Trailblazer series—a TED Talk–style video series featuring research and insights from some of NYU’s most accomplished and compelling professors. Upcoming talks include Recovering Hidden Knowledge: Untold Stories of the Black Experience with Professor Jacqueline Bishop and China-Africa Relations: Past and Future with Professor Adele Carrai. Can’t make it? Check out the NYU Trailblazers archive on our YouTube channel.
Be a Game Design Major for a Day
Are you a game maker? Apply for a virtual spot at Playtest Thursdays. This weekly event is an opportunity for game developers to test out their in-progress games—whether you’re making a board game or a virtual reality experience. Here, members of the NYU community, including NYU Game Center students and faculty, are on hand to playtest games and offer you their feedback. It doesn’t matter if you’re finished with your game or just beginning. All levels of experience and development are welcome.
