The Master's College from NYU Arts & Science on Vimeo

Now not enough people know that the Master's Degree is a rapidly growing degree in higher education We have something called Masters College in which our wonderful students engage in a wide range of human thought I created the Masters College because we care about Masters students. And this was a way for the graduate school to show how important Masters students are, and give them enhanced sense of community and intellectual adventure. Each person in this room recognizes the other as human How would selecting genetic traits affect that recognition? There are so many events and activities organized by the Master College program board, This is a Masters College toast. Through out the year, the Masters College puts on different events and they invite students from across disciplines to attend and it seems like there are different currents of ideas that sort of float around and students can get together and discuss and have different perspectives on things, It can really enrich your own perspective. You are a student. You are putting your mind into action. You are not just a number here. You're a significant student that is part of a wave of Masters education. One of the great reforming waves in Masters education. We want different perspective, different experiences and we want talent, wherever we might find it. Diversity a multiplicity of ideas. But then how do you bring together diverse populations? One way is the common idea of identity as a student. We want to meet each other and work together, and to let Masters students know everyday how important a Masters degree is. and how important their ideas are, and how urgent. They will take their NYU Arts and Science Masters Degree and go out and shape the world.
