Now not enough people know
that the Master's degree is the most rapidly
growing degree in higher education
We have something called Master's College
in which our wonderful students engage in the wide range of human thought.
I created the Master's College because we care about
Masters students, and this is a way we get the graduate schools to show
how important Master's students are and to give them enhancive
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's College Program Board.
This is a Master's College toast. Throughout
the year, the Master's College puts on different events
and invites students from different disciplines to attend, and it
seem like ther's different currents of ideas that seem to float
around and that students can get together and discuss
and when they 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 the wave of Master's education.
One of the great reforming waves in higher education.
We want different perspectives,
different experiences, and we want talent
wherever we might find it.
Diversity creates a multiplicity of ideas.
But then how do you bring together diverse populations?
One was is the common idea of identity as a student.
We want to meet each other and work together
and to let Master's students know
every day how important a Master's degree is
and how important their ideas are and how enriching.
They are going to take their NYU Arts and Science Master's degree
and go out and shape the world.
