IIE President Allan Goodman’s latest blog reflects on the graduation of New York University Abu Dhabi's first class, which he attended on May 25th. In particular, he shares about a student speaker who bravely presented to an audience packed with presidents and professors. "His theme was that this was only the end of the beginning, but he said it in a way that made an NYU Abu Dhabi education extremely and suddenly very relevant," writes Goodman.
