~~ TODAY ~~ NOON ~~ KIMMEL ~~


Dear NYU Community & Family:

We are certain many of you, as we are, experiencing a range of emotions in response to the 'no indictment' verdict announced this evening. In these moments, we believe it's important to find supportive community spaces to begin the process of making sense of our individual thoughts and collective emotions. With this in mind, we have decided to host an impromptu Community Forum in response to the verdict.

We invite you to join the Student Diversity staff and other members of our community today from 12 - 1 :30 pm in Kimmel 905/907 (760 Washington Sq S) for an informal dialogue. We hope you can join us. 

In solidarity,
The Student Diversity Team
NYU Center for Multicultural Education & Programs (CMEP) and LGBTQ Student Center

Joint Event with AAP!

For our International Student Coffee Hour on Dec 4th, we will be joining forces with students from the CAS Academic Achievement Program for a tour of the Grey Art Gallery.


 Specifically, we will learn about the photography of Ernest Cole:

"One of South Africa’s first black photo-journalists—created powerful photographs that revealed to the world what it meant to be black under apartheid. With imaginative daring, courage, and compassion, Cole portrayed the everyday lives of blacks as they negotiated apartheid’s racist laws and oppression. Apartheid, which means “apartness” in Afrikaans (the language of South Africa’s white minority of Dutch descent), was an often brutally enforced legal policy that separated people by race in all aspects of life, within a white supremacist hierarchy of power."



Join us on the 9th floor of Silver at 4:30pm, for lite snacks and refreshments before heading to the gallery.
