YU Celebrates 93rd Annual Commencement
On Wednesday, May 29, Yeshiva University, the flagship Jewish university, will honor the Class of 2024 at the 93rd Annual Commencement Ceremony at the Louis Armstrong Stadium at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens. Friends, families and alumni, along with faculty, staff and administration, will gather as over 600 students from Yeshiva College, Stern College for Women and the Sy Syms School of Business receive their degrees. Additionally, more than 1,100 graduate students in law, medicine, social work, education, Jewish studies, psychology and STEM-related disciplines will be awarded degrees throughout the commencement season. This year, U.S. Sen. John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, a staunch advocate of Israel and Jewish Americans, will receive the Presidential Medallion for Distinguished Heroes of Israel. Through a series of powerful and engaging video segments, the program will highlight the unwavering efforts the University community has made in support of Israel after Oct. 7 as well as celebrate the Class of 2024 with candid and heartfelt reminiscences from students, staff and administration. The audience will also hear from our nine valedictorians and the deans of YU’s under- graduate and graduate programs. The 93rd Annual Commencement comes at a time of great significance, serving not merely as a graduation but as a profound celebration of our Jewish identity and values in action. We invite you to join us in marking this momentous occasion, where each cap and gown symbolizes a personal and collective story of commitment, learning and leadership, rooted in Jewish values and traditions. Congratulations, Class of 2024! READ MORE
