Join an SPS team and compete in NYU’s intramural leagues! Options have included volleyball, basketball, futsal, and more. This is a great way to stay active, build friendships, and represent SPS in NYU-wide competitions. Look out for sign-up forms each fall.

Expect engaging speakers, alumni panels, and social activities while building community across programs. Hosted every fall, Spirit Week is a cornerstone of SPS tradition.

Each fall, the SPS community comes together for our annual Giving Thanks Dinner—a heartfelt celebration of gratitude, connection, and service. Students, faculty, staff, and volunteers gather to share a warm meal, meet new faces, and strengthen our sense of belonging at SPS.

Beyond the delicious food and festive atmosphere, the event also supports a larger mission of giving back.

An annual highlight of the SPS calendar, the Winter Ball invites students to enjoy a glamorous evening of dancing, dinner, and celebration. With a semi-formal dress code and an atmosphere of elegance and energy, this event is a chance to dress up, connect, and make lasting memories.

Celebrate the end of the academic year by joining SPS students for a memorable evening aboard a cruise! The Spring Cruise features dinner, dancing, and a chance to unwind with friends as you take in the skyline. A popular spring event, this celebration often sells out quickly, so watch for ticket announcements.

Celebrate the cultural diversity of our student body in this vibrant, student-led evening featuring traditional food, music, performances, and games from around the world. Students can participate as performers or cultural ambassadors—or simply attend to enjoy the experience and connect with peers across cultures.
