The year-long residency kicks off September 21 with a welcoming event. It will be followed by a series of meetings, classroom visits, and intimate conversations with students and faculty about Eve’s historic career and the evolving music industry.

“We are thrilled to be hosting Eve as our 2024-25 Scholar in Residence,” says Jack H. Knott, the Gale and Ira Drukier Dean of NYU Steinhardt. “She will share the expertise she's gained as an award-winning artist in music, film, and television, as well as a philanthropist working with young people in the arts. I know our students and faculty will learn from her engagement and support of our efforts to advance equity, belonging, and innovation.”
