Today is NYU One Day, an annual 24-hour day of giving dedicated to funding the dreams of NYU students. At the NYU School of Professional Studies, we do more than prepare students for careers—we empower them to become trailblazers, innovators, and leaders who shape the future of work. Every day, our community of more than 57,000 alumni around the world proves what is possible with an SPS education.

On , we come together as one SPS community—students, faculty, staff, alumni, and friends—to invest in that impact.

You can make an impact by supporting the Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies by making a gift to the NYU SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies Annual Fund (McGhee Division), included among the list of funds at the bottom of the SPS One Day Webpage.

Help us reach our goal of 350 gifts. No matter the amount, every contribution makes a difference and demonstrates the strength of the NYU SPS community.

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Moira Marquis as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Writing, Communication, and Applied Humanities at the NYU SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies!

Dr. Marquis earned her Ph.D. in English from UNC Chapel Hill and brings a remarkable combination of academic expertise and real-world experience. She previously served in senior management at PEN America, where she conducted groundbreaking research on carceral censorship and led national advocacy campaigns.

Her writing has reached audiences far and wide: from TIME, Slate, Literary Hub, The Hill, NPR, and The Guardian to peer-reviewed journals such as Science Fiction Studies, Resilience, and Green Letters. She also contributed a chapter on women’s prison writing to the forthcoming Cambridge Companion to American Prison Writing and is currently working on her book, Thought Threats: Carceral Censorship in America, forthcoming from UNC Press.

Dr. Marquis embodies the power of knowledge and lifelong learning: as B.B. King said, “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you.”

We are proud to welcome Dr. Peter Rios, Ph.D. as our new Academic Director and Clinical Assistant Professor of Leadership and Management at NYU SPS Division of Applied Undergraduate Studies.
Dr. Rios is a Professor of Leadership and Management at NYU, a bestselling author, consultant, and global speaker. For more than 20 years, he has worked with Fortune 500 companies, universities, nonprofits, and communities across the U.S., Latin America, and beyond—helping leaders and organizations grow with clarity, resilience, and impact.
He has collaborated with world-class institutions such as Harvard University, the Lilly Endowment, and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, guiding leaders to navigate complexity, embrace change, and build thriving organizations.
From the U.S. Marine Corps to the classroom to the global stage, Dr. Rios’s journey reflects his conviction that leadership is about service, courage, values, and transformation. As he reminds students: “Nothing extraordinary grows in a comfort zone. So if you ever feel stretched or uncertain during your time here at NYU, remember this: growth often disguises itself as discomfort. You’re not just here to learn—you’re here to become. And you’re on your way to greatness.”
Please join us in giving Dr. Rios a warm welcome to the NYU community!
