HEYMAN CENTER STUDENT ACTIVITIES
As a student, you are regularly invited to attend conferences and events sponsored by the
Heyman Center. Lunchtime Conversations feature professionals in the field of fundraising sharing
their expertise in the field. These are free and open to the public. Recent conferences included
the
Global Conference on Fundraising for Higher Education, a one-day conference on women and
philanthropy led by several high-profile speakers, and a fundraising workshop for community
organizations. Additionally, the Heyman Center sponsors a series of seminars called
The Well-Rounded Fundraiser/Philanthropist. Recent topics included Politics, Language, and
Leadership: Why Words Matter; The Health Care Crisis in America; and a private tour of NYU’s
renowned Grey Art Gallery for a discussion of contemporary art.
The NYU Heyman Center is actively involved with many professional associations, such as
the Global Network, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), the Council on Foundations,
and Women in Development. Membership in these organizations provides yet another means of
connection to the professional community, access to events beyond New York City, and discounted
admission to conferences across the country.

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 may also choose to participate in 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.
