Two Emmys and one powerful message. 🏆🎬

This past weekend, Mariska Hargitay was honored with awards for Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special and Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction Program for MY MOM JAYNE, her film about coming to understand her late mother Jayne Mansfield's story and legacy. Accepting her awards, she encouraged everyone, especially women, to find the courage to tell their own stories in their own way, a message that resonates well beyond Hollywood.

Hargitay has spent some time filming scenes for LAW & ORDER: SVU right here on our Riverdale campus, and Manhattan University is proud to have played even a small part in the journey of such a talented storyteller, one whose work reminds us how much can be gained by taking the time to look closely at where we come from and the people who shaped us. It's moments like these that remind us how many stories pass through Manhattan University without us always realizing it.

Congratulations, Ms. Hargitay, from all of us at Manhattan University. 💚

On this Labor Day, Manhattan University is celebrating the workers who keep things running, in every industry, every day.

This holiday also gives us a nice opportunity to reflect on the Lasallian value of service to others, a principle that shows up in the daily work of our faculty, staff, and students. We hope everyone takes today to rest, recharge, and enjoy a well-deserved break.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Manhattan University! 💚

It's official: Manhattan College Parkway has been co-named Manhattan University Way. ✨

The new street sign was unveiled this afternoon at the intersection of Manhattan College Parkway and Waldo Avenue, but this isn't the first time this street has changed monikers. In 1953, it was renamed from Spuyten Duyvil Parkway to Manhattan College Parkway. Today's co-naming reflects the University's more recent shift from Manhattan College to Manhattan University; a change made to its corporate charter in 2024.

The ceremony featured remarks from Manhattan University President Frederick Bonato, Ph.D., NYC Councilmember Eric Dinowitz, Assemblymember Jeffrey Dinowitz, and Bronx Community Board 8 Vice Chair Bob Bender, who are all pictured from left to right in the second photo. Professors Mehnaz Afridi, Ph.D., and Margaret Groarke, Ph.D., also spoke, sharing their own reflections on what this recognition means for the University and the broader community it serves.

Here's to the Jasper legacy that built this moment, and the story still being written. 💚

There’s nothing quite like the energy of the Fall Club Fair! ✨

Students packed Smith Auditorium to meet the leaders behind our many clubs, ask questions, and find the communities that fit their interests. It’s a great reminder that getting involved on campus is one of the best ways to make Manhattan feel like home. Whether it’s a club sport, a cultural organization, or a professional society, there’s a community for every Jasper! 💚

Looking for a way to get more involved on campus? Today's the day! ✨

The Club Fair runs from 2:30 p.m. - 4:30 p.m., rain or shine. If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll be relocating from the Quad to Smith Auditorium. Stop by, ask questions, and find your people. Whether you're into service, sports, the arts, or something totally new, there's a club (or five) waiting for you. 💚
