Dear Silver Community:
As we approach the closing weeks of the academic year, I want to thank you for all of your efforts to weather this supremely difficult period with generous understanding, strength, good grace, and support for one another.
The School’s Senior Leadership Team (listed below) is actively planning for various contingencies for Fall 2021 (for example, regarding in-person classes, Field education, return to offices), and we will be keeping you apprised of major updates and information as our Fall plans firm up in light of the pandemic. As the University administration has recently noted, the University as a whole is planning for a safe return to in-person activities, closely following New York State and CDC guidance.
We will be back in touch, and in the meantime, should you have specific questions or concerns, please share them with us via the following Q&A form to help inform our planning:
Fall 2021 NYU Silver Returns Q&A Form
You can also send your concerns and questions to the planning team at
Silver.Continuity@nyu.edu. I want to wish you a Spring of growing hope and optimism.
Sincerely,
Neil B. Guterman
