2009 Graduation Ceremonies

On May 13th, Steinhardt baccalaureate, master's, certificate, and doctoral graduates joined thousands of other NYU students and their families at Yankee Stadium for the all-University Commencement ceremonies. The ceremony included a major address, speeches by an undergraduate and a graduate student, the awarding of honorary degrees to a number of distinguished individuals, and the conferring of degrees and certificates. Deans of each School introduced each class as a whole, and a representative selected in advance received a symbolic diploma for each degree category.

NYU Steinhardt recognized its students who completed their coursework in September 2008, January 2009, and May 2009 at three individual ceremonies:
