Dear NYIT Alumni,

As we approach the summer, there is a sense of excitement overtaking NYIT campuses worldwide. I’m excited and optimistic about the university’s continued evolution, particularly across its interdisciplinary curriculum. This special edition of NYIT Magazine, showcasing the multi-faceted educational opportunities offered by the College of Osteopathic Medicine, exemplifies the importance of cross-disciplinary cooperation and collaboration. The NYIT brand continues to be enhanced and elevated by students, faculty, staff, and—of course—our alumni. 

As I meet with students, I am happy to note they realize the NYIT experience does not end at commencement. Alumni, too, appreciate the incredible opportunities that exist when staying connected to fellow graduates and the university. It has only been two short years since I have assumed the role as president of the NYIT Alumni Federation, but I have already seen progress as our global chapters welcome new members and forge new professional relationships. Career opportunities, business development, new friendships, and the chance to reconnect with former classmates are only a few of the rewarding benefits. Where else but in NYIT’s network of alumni can you find so many people, across so many disciplines, cultures, and continents that share something so special with you?

Lastly, I’d like to welcome Jennifer Kelly (M.S. ’99) as our new director of alumni relations. A fellow graduate, she brings with her professional experience and firsthand knowledge of the NYIT experience—the memories, the laughter, the academic rigors, and, of course, knowing what it feels like to hold that NYIT degree for the first time. Under her guidance, I know NYIT and the successes of our alumni will reach new heights. 

Ralph A. Sepe (B.S. ’97)
NYIT Alumni Federation President
