NYU Abu Dhabi honours Class of 2019 graduates

ABU DHABI, (Pakistan Point News - 28th May, 2019) Some 275 students from over 75 countries were conferred degrees at the New York University Abu Dhabi, NYUAD, sixth graduation ceremony.

Chair of the NYU board of Trustees William R. Berkley, NYU President Andrew Hamilton, and NYU Abu Dhabi Vice Chancellor Al Bloom officiated the ceremony held at university’s campus on Saadiyat Island. The event was attended by over 1,400 guests and was live streamed to audiences around the globe.

Former White House official, Paralympic ski medalist, Fortune 500 business consultant, Rhodes Scholar, and best-selling author Bonnie St. John offered the keynote address to the graduating class. In her remarks, she commented on the unique educational experience offered by NYUAD, saying, "education is so much about conversation, and what you learn from each other. And to have ten students in a room and have ten countries represented is a very different conversation than what most students around the world are having. This is a truly extraordinary place that has been created."
