Maggie Rogers, a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and Clive Davis alum, will address students at the Tisch School of the Arts\u2019 graduation ceremony next week as this year\u2019s honorary speaker.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSee you at graduation,\u201d Rogers <\/span>said in an Instagram post<\/span><\/a>, which showed a 2016 photo of Rogers in NYU graduation attire.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rogers will speak to the class of 2025 at Radio City Music Hall next Friday, following \u201c<\/span>words of wisdom<\/span><\/a>\u201d from lame duck Tisch dean Allyson Greene, department chairs and a member of the graduating class. The singer-songwriter graduated from the Clive Davis Institute of Recorded Music in 2016, and later Harvard Divinity School in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement <\/span>was posted<\/span><\/a> to the official Tisch Instagram account on Monday afternoon. It comes six days after NYU announced that <\/span>Tisch alum and \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201d star Molly Shannon<\/span><\/a> will speak at the university\u2019s commencement ceremony in Yankee Stadium. In the last week, the university has also announced keynote speakers for other schools, including <\/span>TIAA Insurance CEO Thasunda Duckett<\/span><\/a> at the Stern School of Business and exercise instructor Robin Arz\u00f3n at the Gallatin School of Individualized Study.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A Maryland native, Rogers first garnered an audience when a <\/span>video<\/span><\/a> of her presenting her song \u201cAlaska\u201d to then artist-in-residence Pharrell Williams \u2014 who deemed the piece \u201csingular\u201d \u2014 found virality online. After graduating, Rogers continued to capture the attention of indie music enthusiasts through her debut EP, \u201cNow That The Light Is Fading,\u201d and her subsequent 2019 debut album, \u201cHeard It in a Past Life.\u201d She received a Grammy nomination for best new artist in 2020.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rogers\u2019 third and most recent studio album, \u201cDon\u2019t Forget Me,\u201d was released in April 2024 and received recognition in Rolling Stone as one of the \u201c100 Best Albums of 2024.\u201d She has since lent her voice and writing to a number of singles in collaboration with artists such as Sylvan Esso on \u201cAnthems for a Seventeen Year-Old Girl\u201d and Zach Bryan on \u201cDawns ft. Maggie Rogers.\u201d The latter received platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America \u2014\u00a0the third of her projects, after \u201cAlaska\u201d and 2019 single \u201cLight On,\u201d to receive this achievement.<\/span><\/p>\n
