Here are some firsts that historians of The New School will observe with this graduating class. It’s truly a green commencement, this is the first year that The New School will graduate Environmental Studies majors. And the number five is plus importante to Parsons. It’s the first time that the five newly-formed schools under the Parsons umbrella are lining up separately to toss their tassels. Even at this valedictory moment, The New School continues to be new!
