On Wednesday, May 14th, the NYU community joined together to celebrate the achievements of the class of 2008. The ceremony includes a major address, a student valedictory, the awarding of honorary degrees to a number of distinguished individuals, and the conferring of degrees and certificates. The University continued its tradition of officially announcing the names of the honorary degree recipients shortly before Commencement.

NYU Steinhardt recognizes its students who have completed their coursework in September 2007, January 2008, and May 2008 at three individual ceremonies annually:

• The Baccalaureate Ceremony, honoring candidates for the baccalaureate degree
• The Valedictory Celebration, honoring candidates for the master's degree and certificate of advance study
• The Doctoral Convocation, honoring candidates for the doctoral degree
