New York Institute of Technology

New York Institute of Technology proudly recognizes its Peer Success Guides (PSGs) for the 2024-2025 academic year. The program pairs first-year undergraduate students with a sophomore, junior, or senior student, who provides them with both social and academic support during their first year, helping to direct them to the many services and resources available at New York Tech. Having walked in the shoes of a first-year student, PSGs can relate to the transition and challenges that these students may face. As such, they help to share valuable insight about the exciting successes they achieved and the tough lessons they learned along the way.

New York Institute of Technology is proud to recognize the students who serve as executive board members for the university's many clubs and student organizations.

This summer, eight New York Tech students representing the School of Architecture and Design, the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, and the College of Arts and Sciences spread out across the university's New York City and Long Island campuses to coach at this year's Middle School Summer Maker Academy. Supported by a grant from the VOYA Foundation, the weeklong summer camp program, spearheaded by the College of Engineering and Computing Sciences, has young students come together to brainstorm tech-infused, environmentally friendly solutions to real-world challenges.

New York Institute of Technology recognizes the student leaders who assist the university's Academic Success and Enrichment team, including those who serve as Peer Tutors, Peer Success Guides, and Supplemental Instruction Leaders. Peer tutors are trained students who help to provide their peers with one-on-one, convenient, and interactive support in the courses where they have demonstrated success. The Peer Success GUIDE (PSG) Program pairs first-year undergraduate students with a sophomore, junior, or senior student, who provides them with both social and academic support during their first year, helping to direct them to the many services and resources available at New York Tech. Supplemental Instruction Leaders are undergraduate students who have already passed a selected course with a grade of A- or A, and who possess strong time management and organizational skills. Among other responsibilities, these students prepare structured sessions that review and reinforce difficult material introduced in class.

New York Institute of Technology presented Student Leadership and Service Awards to students who demonstrated leadership, served the university, and enhanced fellow students' experience throughout the 2020-2021 academic year.

In August, four New York Institute of Technology students assisted university instructors in virtually teaching twenty-one rising sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students during the weeklong Middle School Summer Maker Academy. Lessons and workshops informed middle schoolers about STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) topics and careers, as well as United Nations Sustainability Development Goals. The program included five days of lessons and concluded with a showcase of the students' final challenge, building a Clean Cargo Allocation Ready Truck. The project was required to meet the main objectives set forth by U.N. Sustainability Development Goal #3, to "ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all, at all ages." The event was hosted by NYIT College of Engineering and Computing Sciences and NYIT College of Arts and Sciences, and was made possible through a Voya Foundation grant.

Over the summer, New York Institute of Technology's student orientation leaders virtually welcomed new students ahead of fall semester. Orientation leaders facilitate discussions with new students on campus resources, academic success, and life as a New York Tech student. While orientation is being held virtually, several in-person "welcome" events in which these leaders will participate will be held on campus closer to the start of the fall semester.

Orientation leaders facilitate discussions with new students on campus resources, academic success, and life as a New York Tech student. In past years, orientation events have taken place at New York Tech's Long Island and New York City campuses. This year's event was held virtually due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each spring, the Office of Student Life presents awards to outstanding members of the graduating class. This year's award winners are part of a "tradition of recognizing our student leaders," according to Tiffani L. Blake, M.S., Ed.M., New York Tech's interim assistant provost for student engagement and development. Eleven students were honored with Student Life awards for their contributions to the university.

Students from New York Institute of Technology's College of Engineering and Computing Sciences attended this year's Society of Women Engineers 2019 conference. The event, which is the world's largest conference and career fair for women in engineering and technology, took place November 7-9 in Anaheim, CA. Students discovered career opportunities, made connections with industry, and were inspired by new mentors. Females only account for 21% of New York State's engineering graduates, but students who attended were inspired to help break boundaries and continue to promote diversity within the engineering and STEM fields. Students discovered career opportunities, met with industry leaders, and connected with new mentors. The Society of Women Engineers, founded in 1950, is a not-for-profit educational and service organization in the United States. SWE has over 37,000 members in nearly 100 professional sections and 300 student sections throughout the United States.

New York Institute of Technology's student orientation leaders are gearing up to welcome new students ahead of the fall semester. Orientation leaders serve as the main point of contact for new students and their families during New Student Orientation. In addition to leading several large-group sessions, they also facilitate small-group discussions with new students on campus resources, academic success, and life as an NYIT student.

New York Institute of Technology presented student life awards to 18 students who showed leadership, served the university, and enhanced fellow students' experience throughout the 2018-19 academic year.

Medical students from NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine (NYITCOM) made an impressive showing at Educating Leaders 2019, the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) annual conference. The event, which was held from April 9 through April 13 in Washington D.C., is the largest osteopathic medical education event in the United States. This year, NYITCOM students shared findings on topics such as rural health care, science and health education for K-12 students, and the role of virtual reality in medical school education, among many other topics.
