Dear Alumni and Friends,

Spring is a perfect time to celebrate accomplishments and growth and to push forward into the next chapter. We recently celebrated our 64th commencement and welcomed new and eager graduates to our 118,000+ member alumni association. We are large, strong, innovative, and unique.

As a student at New York Tech, you entered many new relationships. You worked on group projects or were part of a committee, you joined a club or organization, volunteered, were mentor or mentee. These close relationships continue long after graduation. I am happy to serve our alumni in a variety of ways. It is my goal to keep you connected and foster lifelong relationships. From welcoming you back to campus to meeting you at events and programs to cultivating future alumni, we are expanding our community and helping forge new friendships while deepening existing ones.

One way we do this is through our new Alumni-Owned Business Directory. New York Tech has been the home to entrepreneurs since its inception in 1955, and we continue to educate like-minded doers, makers, and innovators.

The New York Tech Alumni-Owned Business Directory allows alumni to share information about their businesses. From restaurants to architecture firms to medical practices, this directory showcases the diverse passions of our alumni community and how you can support them.

If you would like to be listed in the directory, please complete the application by August 1. The directory is scheduled to debut in September. Once live, the directory will be updated monthly.

As always, I welcome your suggestions and ideas for events and initiatives. Please feel free to reach out to me at spolidor@nyit.edu.

Have a wonderful summer!

Go Bears!
