Hello Graduating Silver School Students!
Welcome to the Silver School Graduation Newsletter! These newsletters will keep you informed of important deadlines and information as graduation approaches. As always, you can reach out to silver.graduation@nyu.edu if you have any questions.
The 2023 NYU Silver School convocation ceremony will return to the historic United Palace Theatre in Washington Heights, located at 4140 Broadway, on Tuesday, May 16th, 2023 at 1:00 PM. The Silver convocation ceremony will conclude at approximately 3:00 PM.
United Palace Theatre is a short distance from the 175th Street subway station and is surrounded by abundant parking. United Palace is a distinctive, easily accessible venue that, at 3,300 seats, can accommodate many family and friends who wish to celebrate our graduates' achievements.
Designed by noted architect Thomas Lamb, United Palace is Manhattan’s fourth largest theater. It was opened in 1930 and designated a New York City Landmark in 2016. It has a rich history as a home for arts, culture, and spirituality, and a strong connection to the vibrant community in which it is based, making it an ideal location for our school’s convocation ceremony.
Details for the below points can be found in this newsletter. Our goal is to provide you with all of the information you need in order to celebrate this momentous occasion.

APPLY FOR GRADUATION
Applying for graduation indicates that you will be completing your academic requirements at the end of the Spring 2023 term and alerts the University to review your record in order to confer your degree. All students who plan to graduate in May 2023 must apply for graduation on Albert using the instructions noted here by the deadline of Wednesday, February 15th, 2023. NOTE: If you do not anticipate that you will complete all your course requirements by May 2023, do not apply now. It will complicate your process to apply for summer (September graduation).
REPRESENT THE CLASS OF 2023
Are you interested in performing a special role in the graduation ceremonies? We are seeking students from the BS, MSW, DSW, and PhD graduating classes to serve as Class Representatives and Banner Bearers. Class Representatives and Banner Bearers are part of the procession in either the NYU Commencement ceremony or the Silver Convocation ceremony, sit on stage during the ceremonies, and have their academic attire provided by the School/University.
