Faculty Newsletter 5th Edition

5th Edition

Happy Spring! We are pleased to send you our “Big News from the Small Square.”  Find out about how our music program is expanding, the Prague visit of the visual activist and NYU Steinhardt professor Nicholas Mirzoeff, how our students are bursting the NYU bubble, and what happened 50 years ago in a gay bar near NYU called the Stonewall Inn (and why it matters).
 

We also encourage you to read about what our students think of Prague on their NYU Prague Now! blog and to listen to MONEY- the latest edition of the PragueCast student podcast.
