Sounds of Spring: Concert Highlights NYU Shanghai and Kong Xiangdong

Celebrating the Final Stretch: Countdown to Commencement

The countdown to graduation has officially begun. On March 13, the Class of 2026—NYU Shanghai’s final cohort to start at Century Avenue before moving to our current campus—inched one step closer to their big milestone and celebrated their 88 Days Countdown.

Rediscovering Real Life on Campus

NYU In Real Life (NYU IRL), an initiative spearheaded by NYU President Linda Mills, affirms NYU’s commitment to integrating device-free environments and events across its New York City, Shanghai, and Abu Dhabi campuses. That means there will be more phone-free spaces, gatherings, and activities that invite community members to look up from their phones, connect with each other, and be fully present.

Class of 2025: Where Are They Now?

The Class of 2025, with 399 graduates hailing from 42 countries and regions, are now spread across the globe, pursuing diverse professional paths in 35 countries and regions — from academic research to finance and entrepreneurship. Find out where they are now in the 2025 First Destination Report!
