Dear NYU SPS Community,

With spring in full bloom, I’m thrilled to see our community flourishing alongside it. As we head into commencement season, I’m so proud to celebrate the many accomplishments of our NYU SPS family this semester.

I’m bursting with #VioletPride for the NYU Women's Basketball team that took home the Division III Championship! Congratulations to our own members of the team for their contributions on and off the court during this exceptional 31-0 season. 

  • Megan Bauman ’25 (MS, Tisch Sports Business)
  • Erica Miller ’23 (BS, Tisch Sports Management; MS '25 Global Affairs)
  • Josie Munson ’27 (BS, Schack Real Estate)
  • MK Fahey '25 (BS, Tisch Sports Management; BA '25 Core Liberal Studies)
  • Audrey Cunningham ’22 (MS, Tisch Sports Business), Assistant Coach
  • Annie Barrett ’25 (MS, Tisch Sports Business), Assistant Coach
  • Sarah Cloutier ’24 (MS, Tisch Sports Business), Director of Basketball Operations

On April 12th, our very own Keia Clarke ’06 (Tisch, MS Sports Business) will receive the prestigious 2024 NYU Distinguished Alumni Award. Keia is the Chief Executive Officer of the New York Liberty, where she leads all business aspects of the Liberty organization, including oversight of the P&L, business operations, and strategic planning. Keia previously received the NYU SPS Distinguished Alumni Award in 2020, and was the featured speaker at the Schack Institute National Symposium of Women in Real Estate in 2021.

Spring 2024 graduates, we’re busy gearing up for your big day just around the corner! Be sure to mark your calendar for the following NYU SPS commencement events: 

  • Undergraduate Convocation (Mon. May 13): SPS will be the first school at NYU to host a graduation ceremony at the new Paulson Center.
  • Graduation Toast (Tues. May 14): We look forward to toasting our graduates in a reception in the lobby of 7 E. 12th Street
  • Graduate Convocation (Fri. May 17): We will return to Radio City Music Hall to celebrate our graduate students.

I’d like to also congratulate a recent SPS graduate, Leah Remini! I'm so proud that we could be a part of Leah's journey of resilience and hard work that led to her earning an associate degree through the NYU SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies.

I look forward to recognizing your continued excellence this semester.

Warmly,

Angie signature
