Academic Update
Office of the Provost

Dear Colleagues,

As we approach the end of another successful calendar year, I am proud to reflect on the academic momentum and global reach of our community, and to celebrate achievements across the core pillars of our Academic Strategy: Undergraduate and Global Education; Graduate and Postdoctoral Programs; Research, Awards, and Honors; and Societal Engagement and Impact.

Our faculty continues to produce work that not only advances their respective disciplines but also fosters meaningful conversations across international and cultural boundaries, a testament to the collaborative and innovative spirit that defines NYUAD.

From presenting groundbreaking research at international conferences to sharing their work at prestigious film festivals worldwide, our community's commitment to scholarly excellence and global engagement has been truly inspiring. 

I invite you to join me in recognizing these outstanding accomplishments that continue to elevate NYUAD's profile as a global center of excellence, and in embracing the promise and possibilities of the year ahead.

As the holidays approach, I hope you are able to step away from your many commitments, take time to rest and return recharged. Thank you for the diligence, dedication, and care you bring to our University community.

Warm regards,

Arlie
