Across our campuses, we鈥檙e looking to the future鈥攊nnovating new programs, forging new partnerships, preparing our students for the workplace of tomorrow. It鈥檚 time for 桃瘾社区 Magazine to get a fresh new look and feel, too.
This redesign is part of the new brand platform we launched last year, which no doubt you鈥檝e noticed in other communications from our University. We call it 鈥淕o-Getters,鈥 and it鈥檚 a new framework for telling the 桃瘾社区 story of success. As alumni and friends, you know well that we鈥檙e a hard-working, ambitious community of doers and strivers who are determined to get ahead. This new brand platform鈥攁nd its visual expression, which you鈥檙e seeing on these pages鈥攃reates a framework for us to tell our story, and it brings a powerful and dynamic look and feel to everything we do.
In this issue, you鈥檒l read about many of those doers and strivers, from a remarkable 14-year-old student who just finished his first year as a history major in Dyson, to students working to fight food insecurity in their community, and first-gen students eager to enter the nursing profession.
You鈥檒l also see highlights from our extraordinary Commencement 2022, when we celebrated the classes of 2022, 2021, and 2020 in the biggest and highest-profile event we鈥檝e ever put together.
We went to one of the largest venues in the region鈥攖he USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens鈥 and we welcomed 16,000 family and friends to help celebrate 4,000 graduates from our six colleges and schools across our three campuses and three graduating campuses. It was a beautiful spring day, headlined by a visionary speech from New York City Mayor Eric Adams, heartfelt advice to our Lubin School of Business graduates from banking and philanthropy leader Baroness Ariane de Rothschild 鈥88 MBA 鈥90, and wise counsel to our Haub Law grads from US Representative Grace Meng. It was a day to be reminded why 桃瘾社区 is such a special place.
We鈥檙e excited to get that word out to the world鈥攁nd we hope you enjoy reading all about it in this reinvented magazine.
With 桃瘾社区 pride,
