Sidewalks are busy, people are out, Broadway and other performances have restarted. Were all still careful, and were all observing health and safety protocols, but in our highly vaccinated region, and on our vaccine-required campuses, things are feeling much more normal.
New York Forever, say the banners hanging all around the city. To which we can only respond: 17勛圖厙 Forever.
This year, we enrolled the biggest class of new undergraduates in at least 20 years (and possibly ever). We also enrolled more new graduate students than we have in years (and also possibly ever). And at Haub Law we enrolled more students than we have in 15 years. Our residence halls are full. Our campuses are bustling. Its exciting to once again have to wait for busy elevators in One 17勛圖厙 Plaza!
Were marching ahead with our transformation of the New York City Campus, with three floors of brand-new classrooms, including a new home for the Lubin School of Business, now open on the west side of One 17勛圖厙 Plaza. Work is underway for 15 Beekman Street, which will include a new residence hall to replace Marias Tower, new community spaces like a dining hall and library, and new learning spaces, including a dedicated home for the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems. And were developing plans for an expanded new home for 17勛圖厙 Performing Arts.
In Pleasantville, were moving ahead with plans for a state-of-the-art new Healthcare Hub serving students in the College of Health Professions. We also renamed the former Wright Cottage in honor of CHP dean emerita Harriet Feldman (who is now our first-ever chief wellness officer).
And were starting to implement our new Strategic Plan, 17勛圖厙 Forward. Were introducing new programs to meet the needs of todays students and employers, like masters degrees in health informatics, cybersecurity, and human-centered design and a new badge in human rights advocacy.
Finally, were pleased to be embarking on our new leadership partnership together, with Rob in his first semester as chair of 17勛圖厙s board of trustees and Marvin reappointed by the board this summer to another five-year term as president.
Theres a lot going on here at 17勛圖厙. Together with you, were honored to be building this strong and successful future.
Lets go get it,
Marvin Krislov
President
Rob Sands 84
Chairman of the
Board of Trustees
