New York City brims with possibility. Every block you walk, every interaction you have, every connection you make here will animate your future. The city is a pulsing network—of people, of neighborhoods, of careers, of promise.

MMC’s CityEdge plugs you into the network.

CityEdge opens up the city’s educational avenues. It immerses you in the city’s world-shaping industries. It introduces you to mentors and leading industry professionals of all stripes. It prepares you for a post-college career of achievement and fulfillment. It gives you your edge.

Embark on a food tour of Chinatown—while learning about the impact of immigrant communities—in a first-year seminar. Get lessons on light and composition with professional photographers in a signature course. Snag an internship and gain real experience on Wall Street, Broadway, in the Fashion District, along Museum Mile, at a Midtown firm, on a TV show, or at the United Nations—wherever your passions and your professional goals intersect.

A few 📸 from yesterday’s Orientation Musical, directed and choreographed by Theatre Arts Professor Emily Clark and starring some of our super-talented Theatre students, who very generously gave their time and energy to rehearse and perform. The show, co-written by Clark and her students over the years, explored common fears among first years. Amazing job, everyone. We loved it! #nycstudents #nyccolleges ##theatrestudents

Oh, just getting in a little movement during Welcome Week with a Dance class led by Professor Jazelynn Goudy and morning yoga led by @mmc_ic Coordinator of Student Engagement LaNae Plaxico.

That's Isabella Paragas ’27, a double major in Musical Theatre and Business, and thee Jason Gotay ’11! Besides MMC, they share something in common: @sacmusicals, California's largest nonprofit arts organization. Jason starred in its recent production of "Sunset Boulevard," and Isabella's been working as an education and community engagement assistant for the organization this summer. Among other things, her team helps make theatre more accessible for blind and visually impaired fans, children, and underrepresented groups.
