NYU Shanghai honored some 400 graduates from NYU Shanghai and other NYU degree-granting campuses in a virtual ceremony in May. Graduates hailing from 34 countries and regions tuned in along with friends and family at 20:22 China Standard Time to celebrate the conclusion of their NYU Shanghai journeys. “We may not have a choice when the pandemic may end, and when life can get back to normal, but we always have a choice in the attitude that we have towards challenges and difficulties. Such an attitude will be the foundation from which you build on your future. And the hardships you face today may one day prove to be the best training program for a stronger you,” said Commencement speaker and Winter Olympic Champion Yang Yang.
