NYIT President’s Message to Alumni in China

Dear alumni and extended NYIT family:

As we prepare to welcome the Class of 2015 to NYIT's fifth historic year in Nanjing, I want to thank you for being a part of NYIT's undergraduate campus in China. This month, more than 300 new NYIT-Nanjing students will join our global university network of 14,000 students and 3,600 faculty and staff around the world.

When I meet our students, I like to tell them that our name—New York Institute of Technology—is an extraordinary calling card on the global landscape. They quickly discover it for themselves.

I came to China a few weeks ago as the United States delegate to a forum of college presidents held in Shenzhen. I spoke to more than 160 leaders in higher education worldwide about how universities are ideal incubators of collaboration and ingenuity. I urged them to help me create international "idea centers" in partnership with business and government. I emphasized that students need to be citizens of the wolrd to meet the challenges of the global market.

I spoke with confidence because I've seen it happen at NYIT, a truly global university. Read More.
