A MESSAGE FROM THE ASSISTANT DEAN
Welcome to New York University! I am so pleased that you have made your decision to join us. I
realize that this is a time of excitement, hopefulness for a better future, and following your
passion to pursue your dream of a master’s degree. I am here to help you reach your goals. If you
need help navigating NYU, please feel free to contact me.
One way that you can benefit is to get involved with the student life at SCPS and NYU. We have a
graduate student council and eleven student clubs that provide programming, socials, and
professional development that you will not want to miss. Just like you, NYU students have already
accomplished so much. Your peers are a wonderful resource with whom to network; not just about
school, but about work, living in the city, and balancing work/life issues.
In addition, we know that life happens and sometimes students need additional support. Please
feel free to contact the Office of Graduate Student Life to find out about other resources at NYU,
to access information on policies, or to just bounce an idea off someone who can refer you to the
appropriate area.
Please stop by Room 428 at the NYU Midtown Center to visit or make an appointment. I look
forward to meeting you and learning about your interests.
My warmest welcome,
Dr. Barbara Gossett
Assistant Dean
Office of Graduate Student Life
