Save the Date

Save the date for the next NYU Publishing Alumni event, to be held on Tuesday, May 19th. Since this event is NYU-sponsored, the location (details to come) will be great and refreshments will be served.

We're still in the planning stages, so if you have any ideas for speakers and/or requests for certain topics, please let us know.

And for current students, NYU-sponsored events are limited to alumni only (due to space limitations), but we'll be scheduling a regular meetup for all NYU Publishing Association members probably sometime in June, and hope to see you then.

Good night,
Karina, Joanne, Ania, and Karen
