Orientation 2024 at MSM took place over eight days from August 28 to September 2 — It’s an annual event packed with activities for new students, including the highlight: a sunset cruise around New York Harbor at the southern tip of Manhattan.

More than 400 new students arrived at MSM at the start of this academic year, taking part in this beloved annual ritual at the School: a jam-packed schedule of events at MSM and around New York City, such as going to a Broadway show, having a picnic in Central Park, or going to the Brooklyn Bridge.

Here are some photo highlights of some of the events!
