Info Please sign up for each presentation you'd like to attend in the Eventbrite link above. RSVP is required for all non-NYU guests. If you are part of the NYU community it is recommended you RSVP to help us have accurate numbers for attendance. MIAP staff, faculty, and students are counted as attending all presentations and should not RSVP. Thesis advisors are assumed to attend the presentation of their advisee, but should RSVP to any other presentations they wish to attend. If your plans change, please send an email to tisch.pre...@nyu.edu so we can offer your spot to someone else in case we need to start a waitlist. All presentations are in-person. There will be a student staff member checking in attendees in the Tisch entrance lobby. Your attendance is granted to the building 30 minutes before presentations. Take the elevators to the 6th Floor and look for signs to Michelson Theater. Once you have checked in downstairs you will not need to show your registration at any other point other than if you leave and re-enter the building. There are bathrooms and water fountains available. All tickets are general admission and there is no assigned seating. If you need to request any accommodation, please email tisch.pre...@nyu.edu. |
