   New York University

   There's nothing like a crisp autumn day in New York to put a spring in your step, and at all of NYU's campuses and global sites, the fall presents an opportunity for renewed focus. That's something we're leaning into as a community through the NYU IRL initiative, which challenges us all to reclaim our time and attention so we can concentrate on what matters most. What will we notice when we look up from our devices? Here's to less checking and more connecting, to less following and more wandering.
