Dear Parents and Loved Ones,
Let us share our enthusiastic welcome to both you and your student to the NYU community! We are very happy to have you with us.
The past few semesters have reinforced for us all the value of caring for each other, the importance of mental health and wellbeing, and the need for connection and community. As your student embarks on their NYU journey, we will also seek to reinforce our relationship with you, the incredible parents and families who have successfully guided these remarkable individuals to this point in their lives. We look forward to supporting your student’s development—personally, academically, and professionally—and to preparing them for a fulfilling life after graduation.
Over the next two months, your student will hear from us regularly, as we provide ways for them to connect with fellow students and faculty, highlight time-sensitive requirements, and generally support their preparation for the start of the semester. Last week, they received
this welcome message about Spring Welcome, Student Life, and ways to plan ahead.
You should also be assured that NYU’s operating plans continue to be guided by the latest public health guidelines. NYU has successfully navigated the pandemic thus far, in part because of the determination, resilience, and commitment of our students, but also due to the unwavering support of their loved ones. Our commitment to this partnership endures—not just to
keep each other safe—but in every aspect of your student’s growth.
To help keep you up-to-date on your student’s journey, we encourage you to utilize the following informational hubs:
- Dates & Deadlines — highlights action items and deadlines for incoming students
- Parents & Families — compiles helpful resources, including calendars, emergency contact information, events, recordings of webinars, frequently asked questions, and an archive of past communications to parents and families
- NYU Returns — provides up-to-date COVID-19-related guidance and information
If you ever have questions or concerns that are not addressed through these resources, we invite you to be in touch with us at
parents@nyu.edu.
We wish you and your family a healthy and safe winter holiday season and look forward to welcoming your student to NYU in January!
With all best wishes,
Jason Pina
Vice President for University Life and Global Engagement
