Eve has landed a new partnership with New York University (NYU).

The rapper went on social media to announce that she will be a 2024-25 Scholar-IN-Residence at NYU’s Steinhardt School of Culture, Education, and Human Development. The residency will be for a year and will begin on September 21. 

While a part of this residency, reports state that Eve will “engage in a series of meetings, classroom visits, and intimate conversations with students and faculty around the topics of her own career trajectory, the music industry as a whole, and other considerations.” 

Steinhardt’s Dean Jack H. Knott said in a statement, “We are thrilled to be hosting Eve as our 2024-25 Scholar in Residence. 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.” 

He continued, “I know our students and faculty will learn from her engagement and support of our efforts to advance equity, belonging, and innovation.” Along with this residency, Eve is getting ready to release her memoir, “Who’s That Girl?” on September 17th.
