The CAS First-Year Class Board invites you to ‘You Ask, We Answer!’, a virtual Q&A fair open to all NYU students across grade levels and schools! With representatives from over 20 university organizations, any question you have regarding your NYU experience can be answered at this live event. Following a breakout room-based structure on Zoom, you will have the opportunity to directly interact with NYU administrators on issues from COVID protocol, to course registration, to international student services. All attendees are entered into a raffle and have the chance to win prizes such as 50ft LED lights, a waterproof speaker, and a coffee maker (which will be shipped directly to their home from Amazon).
