Bill de Blasio will teach at New York University

Former New York Mayor Bill de Blasio will return to his alma mater - New York University (NYU) - but now as a teacher, not a student, reports New York Daily News.

After abandoning the idea of ​​running for governor of New York and the US Congress (de Blasio changed his mind because he did not enjoy the support of voters), the politician decided to take up teaching. This fall, he went to Harvard University as a visiting lecturer, and this coming winter and spring he will be teaching at New York University.

New York University said de Blasio, 61, would show up there in January for formal meetings and talks. And then in the spring he will conduct a course for graduate students. The topic of the course is not reported, it is only known that de Blasio will receive a position at the Wagner Graduate School of Public Service at the university.

After serving two terms as mayor, de Blasio left City Hall late last year. And returned to his hometown of Park Slope in Brooklyn.

“When I graduated from New York University in the 1980s, I never dreamed of a path that would take me to city hall and then back to my alma mater,” de Blasio said October 17. Now I can help others develop their dreams. I'm really looking forward to it."

At New York University, de Blasio, the long-haired guy who then used the name Bill Wilhelm, majored in urban planning and urban studies. He received his bachelor's degree in 1984. He later received a master's degree from Columbia University.

In July, de Blasio said: “Community work is what I want to do. And that can take many different forms: nonprofits and any number of good causes.”

Looks like he's targeting the scientific world for now.
