You’ve paid hundreds of thousands of dollars, you’ve slept in a library more than you’d care to admit, and you’ve put many more hours of work into your thesis paper than you put into your last relationship. Finally, the day of graduation is quickly arriving, and it’s almost time to say goodbye to NYU and hello to the real world. Not ready to say goodbye yet? NYU’s alumni event calendar ensures that you won’t forget us here at Washington Square Park by offering some great events to you future-graduates.
“After a successful career in Chemical Engineering, Poly alumnus Jack Florence ’58 CE, has been growing grapes for almost 30 years in Geyersville, California. Jack’s grapes are now found in the finest wines coming out of the famous Zinfandel appellations Dry Creek Valley and Rockpile in northwestern Sonoma County. In fact one of Jack’s Zinfandels was named third best wine in the world by the Wine Spectator a few years ago. We’ll be celebrating his unique Poly story with a tasting of six of the wines his grapes produce.”
