New York University One Hundred Eighty-Eighth Commencement Exercises Celebrating the Class of 2022 Wednesday, May 18, 2022 11:00 a.m. Yankee Stadium Bronx, NY
Thank you for joining us on this most special of occasions, New York University’s 188th Commencement. I never cease to marvel at the talent contained in our community. Thriving beyond borders and across academic disciplines, NYU has emerged as one of the world’s most dynamic institutions of higher learning. The NYU community is bold, creative, and engaged—and it is helping to reimagine what it is to be a university in the 21st century. In this iconic stadium, we are pleased to once again celebrate both our inextricable connection to New York City and our distinctly global spirit. The 19,000 members of the Class of 2022 represent the entire country and globe and are poised to join a worldwide family of more than 600,000 NYU alumni. To the Class of 2022 and to the parents, families, and friends who have helped make possible this special day: thank you for sharing your talent with us and helping to make this university so extraordinary. We look forward to hearing about your future successes and welcoming you back home to NYU often. Congratulations and my very best wishes. Andrew D. Hamilton

The Ceremony of the Torch
Katherine Fleming
The silver torch, designed by Tiffany & Co., was given to the University in 1911 by
Helen Miller Gould. The torch symbolizes “academic purpose and authority.’’ It has
become a tradition for a senior member of the faculty to carry the torch in the
Commencement procession. The first passing of the torch to the youngest graduate
took place in 1938. The practice prevailed until the Commencement of 1944 when
the torch was passed to a returning veteran of World War II. The ceremony was
abandoned as of the Commencement of 1953 and was reinstated nine years later.

name and founding year. The motto perstare et praestare,
to persevere and excel, underscores the depiction of classic
runners, and, when combined, they represent the continued
pursuit of academic excellence. Finally, there is the upheld
torch of the Lady of the Harbor, signifying NYU in service to
the “metropolis”—New York City.
