Talk to a Current Student
Graduate Student Ambassadors
Graduate student ambassadors are students who have been appointed by the Office of Admission to provide prospective applicants with information about graduate study in their programs. They are available to discuss the kinds of opportunities that can be
pursued in their programs, the nature of particular courses, student life at The New School, and similar matters.
The friendly and informative admission ambassadors can be contacted initially at the email addresses below. Prospective applicants can communicate with them by email or arrange for a telephone conversation or video chat.
Questions regarding application and admission policies and procedures should be directed to the Schools of Public Engagement graduate admission team. Please email nsadmissions@newschool.edu.
