The Best of 2014 In Photos
From the grand opening of our new campus hub, to the People’s Climate March and decorating the White House, the New School community has had a very active year.
Collaborations across campus produced the New York City premiere of a Mexican opera and launched a revolutionary journalism program. Accomplished researchers, creative pioneers, and iconic figures offered words of wisdom and inspiration to the next generation of leaders. The university continued to reach out, learn from, and make its mark on the greater New York City community, and took advantage of some incredible opportunities.
It is impossible to include each noteworthy moment from this past year. These photos provide just a glimpse into the best of The New School: 2014.
