Mission and Vision

A heritage of excellence, a bold vision for the future

Welcome Steinhardt Undergraduate and Graduate Students

I am delighted to welcome you to the 2011-12 academic year at the NYU Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. We feel a wonderful sense of excitement and promise as we begin the new academic year.

A new school year is an occasion for you to grow personally and intellectually, to challenge yourself and others, and as our University motto proclaims, "to persist and to excel." Senator J. William Fulbright wrote that the chief function of higher education is "the teaching of things in perspective," with the goal of "enriching the life of the individual, cultivating the free and inquiring mind, and advancing the effort to bring reason, justice, and humanity into the relations of men (women) and nations." This is a tall order, but a goal worth striving for.

Steinhardt is a community of faculty, students, and staff who work to improve our local and global communities through applied psychology, art, education, health, media, and music. We urge you to take advantage of all that is available to you in the School, your Department, and the University. Work with your professors; engage your classmates; enrich your life and the lives of those around you; become an involved and participatory citizen in our community.

As we look to the year ahead, this month we also look back on the decade since 9/11 to remember the lives that were lost and reflect on how we as a community have changed since that tragic day. You may wish to participate in some of the events that NYU will be hosting to commemorate 9/11, which are listed on the University’s Events and Traditions page. In addition, as you reflect on your own thoughts and feelings, I invite you to learn more about research, scholarship, and creative works by Steinhardt faculty on 9/11.

Looking forward, I hope you will make the Office of Student Affairs and your advisor first stops with any questions or concerns you may have. Learn more about the many services, events, and opportunities Steinhardt offers through the Student Matters blog, our news forum for undergraduate and graduate students in NYU Steinhardt.
Welcome to NYU Steinhardt.
