On August 17, 2014, the incoming freshman at NYU Shanghai filled the dining hall of the new academic building to begin their NYU journey. They were welcomed by university leadership, faculty, staff, and students. Student body president Roxanne Roman told the class of 2018 that they have much to look forward to, saying, “You will meet people who teach you how to live, how to laugh, and how to love.”
Just a few days later, the NYU Abu Dhabi class of 2018 was welcomed by the NYU Abu Dhabi community. Recent graduates from NYU AD’s inaugural class of 2014 sent words of encouragement and advice to the freshman. Sahar Kazemini, NYU AD class of 2014, told them “Don’t be afraid to change and try new things.”
We wish the new classes the best of luck!
