Admitted Student Events

Congratulations!
Here at The New School, students aren't admitted — they're chosen. We've chosen you to join our community of spirited, innovative, socially engaged scholars and visionaries, and we hope you'll choose to enroll. Whether you've officially chosen The New School or you're still trying to decide on your best-fit college, you're invited to celebrate your accomplishments with us online, in New York City, or closer to home.
On this page, you'll find the full suite of events specially designed for admitted students from which to choose. Some of these events are specific to certain schools and degrees, while others are open to all.
Events on this page are for students admitted to programs administered at our New York City campus. Students admitted to programs at Parsons Paris should visit the Paris Admission Events page.
Bookmark this page and continue to check back to stay updated on our offerings. If you no longer see your school or program listed among our upcoming events, please contact us to inquire about recordings of previously held online events.
