XE is a welcoming, collaborative, and supportive community that creates a vibrant intellectual space for students to puruse their individual goals.
We offer regular public programs, lectures, panels, student-organized events, and social gatherings, icluding our annual XE Thesis Symposium, which showcases student research and celebrates our students' successful completion of their Master's Projects.
Student Representatives serve as a liaison between students and administration to ensure that all student ideas for social life are welcomed. Student representatives host town hall meetings, organize events (such as the student happy hour), and answer questions for new students.
Two student representatives are elected at the end of every calendar year and serve one-year terms.

XE's student-run interdisciplinary journal, Caustic Frolic, is a source of collaborative creation. Every semester students publish a new print issue, which is accompanied by a website that includes content from the printed journal as well as digital-only submissions. Caustic Frolic is a space where students not only gain experience editing and working in physical and digital publication, it is also one of the best ways for students to get to know each other better by working together towards a shared goal.
For additional opportunities to engage professionally and socially at NYU, see the resources of the Graduate School of Arts and Science's Master's College.
