Former president Bill Clinton addresses NYU Abu Dhabi’s first graduating class, 2014. 

New York University


The students in our Class of 2014 arrived at NYU Abu Dhabi as pioneers…united by a common bond: a desire to make their mark on a more knowledgeable, productive, responsible, just, and peaceful globe. It is a terrific privilege…to welcome President Bill Clinton…who has devoted his life to addressing the world’s most significant challenges in pursuit of these very same goals.
— Vice Chancellor Al Bloom, NYU Abu Dhabi
