Nearly 300 members of NYU Shanghai’s Class of 2021 celebrated four years of achievement and perseverance this morning in the university’s first in-person undergraduate commencement ceremony since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.  Commencement speaker and COVID-19 expert Dr. Zhang Wenhong encouraged students to help end global inequality and division. "I believe that the future of humans depends on whether the young people of the world can finally come together."

In this music video, the Class of 2021 reenacted “The Moments” 《忆》from their years at NYU Shanghai —from moving into dorms, studying away, weathering COVID-19, to reuniting for graduation. The video was written, composed,  choreographed, directed, performed and filmed by NYU Shanghai seniors with assistance from students in NYU’s Go Local program.
