As we face an ongoing global pandemic, continued racial and social injustice, and a deeply divided country, New York Tech is committed to creating a space that fosters meaningful dialogue and a sense of community.

Time to Talk: Community Connections is a joint initiative sponsored by the Office of Student Engagement & Development to showcase our institutional dedication to becoming part of the change that needs to happen in our world. Through community-wide discussions, panels, forums, and activities, the Time to Talk initiative aims to explore power dynamics on the micro and macro level and contribute to a more just and equitable society.
