ANNOUNCEMENT: In light of current New York University precautions surrounding the COVID-19 virus and in the interest of keeping all our community members safe, #NYUKEVO has a number of important updates. The Hagop Kevorkian Center building, including the Richard Ettinghausen Library, will be closed from March 16, 2020 until further notice. Our students will still have swipe access to the building and the computer lab, if needed.  Our Spring 2020 public events have all been canceled and we hope to reschedule some of them for the upcoming year. Our staff will be working remote from Monday March 16, 2020 and are available via the same phone numbers and email to answer any questions about the program and the center as a whole. We prefer email as the main means of communication, so please email us at Kevorkian.Center@nyu.edu or a particular staff member, details can be found on our website here: http://bit.ly/3aNrgKW . We understand this news may come as a disappointment and we regret any inconvenience.

The Hagop Kevorkian Center always stands in support of the many communities that are marginalized or stand at risk from various forms of oppression such as racism and xenophobia, Islamophobia, and punitive government policies. As we face increasing threats and fears, Kevorkian remains steadfast in its role as a safe and supportive space for our students, faculty, and staff, and well as the general public.
