STUDENT AFFAIRS
NETWORKING AND PROFESSIONAL EVENTS
Networking opportunities are an important part of the graduate program, and we maintain
strong connections that serve your career goals well. Individual consultations with advisers,
discussions about job opportunities and trends, and access to alumni in strategic positions are
essential to the program. Through guest speakers, career seminars, and job postings, you have
access to a range of professional services. Special nights museum trips and tours of professional
facilities, like those of Acclaim, one of the five largest game developers, and the film production
facility of DuArt Film & Video, provide an opportunity to draw on New York City’s vast
resources. Through our extensive contacts in the profession, your formal education is augmented
with a variety of events—including a lunchtime lecture series, seminars, guest speakers, special
colloquia, social activities, and other professional events. These provide opportunities for you to
cultivate a positive network of colleagues in different areas of the industry and offer you access
to first-person voices, opinions, and expertise.
SCPS OFFICE OF STUDENT AFFAIRS
The
SCPS Office of Student Affairs offers a wide variety
of programs and services designed to help our diverse student population make the most of their NYU
experience and grow within a community of scholars and fellow professionals. The Office of Student
Affairs can provide you with information about academic resources, ways to get involved in student
life on campus, and how to obtain assistance and support. From University and SCPS services to
academic policies and protocols, there is a wealth of information with which to become familiar.
NYU UNIVERSITY-WIDE STUDENT CLUBS AND ORGANIZATIONS
In addition to the broad range of industry professionals and guest speakers you meet in the
classroom, you are able to choose any of
NYU’s 350 clubs and associations as your
primary venues for student involvement,
career networking, and meeting classmates with similar goals, interests, and
hobbies. Even as a part-time graduate student, you are encouraged to participate in
student governance,
graduate student organizations, and special-interest clubs. As an active
graduate student, you are invited to an extraordinary array of events and opportunities to expand
yourself both intellectually and professionally. You may participate in school-wide or
program-specific forums, seminars, and conferences offered by the School, as well as by other NYU
schools and colleges and their affiliated professional associations. These types of activities add
greatly to your student experience and enhance your networking opportunities.
