Survey on Graduate Student Space in Bobst

Graduate Students: We want your feedback!

We've been working hard over the past few years at creating services that meet your needs, as well as creating spaces in Bobst Library that support your work.

Please take a short (5-10 minute) survey to tell us what you think of the changes we've been making.

Your responses will be kept only in aggregate, and you can answer the questions anonymously, though you will also have the option to leave your contact information if you'd like to participate further.

Thanks,

NYU Libraries Graduate Student Working Group

Congrats to Draper's Threesis Semi-Finalists: Whitney Johnson & Kyle Munkittrick

Draper extends its congratulations to Whitney Johnson and Kyle Munkittrick, who were among the 12 semi-finalists in Saturday's Threesis Challenge. Whitney presented on "Dialogs of Identity in Roman Antioch" and Kyle on "The Species Ethic and Human Enhancement."

A big hand for all of Draper's participants as well--each of the presentations were very well received by the judges and audience and represented the wide scope and high quality of the scholarly work being completed in Draper.

Congratulations!
