Merit Pages Offer Students a Forum to Share Their Achievements

NYIT students now have a new tool to promote their accomplishments in and out of the classroom: Merit Pages. This online platform allows students to post academic and co-curricular achievements and activities in one location—accessible to parents, elected officials, high school guidance counselors, and hometown media outlets as well as peers and even potential employers.

Over the summer, a Merit web page was established for each NYIT student that displays achievements already entered by NYIT’s Strategic Communications team or directly by students. Achievements may include internships, academic and/or athletic awards, honor societies inductions, community service, leadership achievements, scholarships, fellowships, and involvement in clubs and Greek life, among many others.

Students can personalize their Merit page by adding photos, importing information from LinkedIn, listing other achievements and work experiences, and connecting to social media pages. Students also have the option of opting out of the Merit platform.

Throughout the year, when NYIT distributes an achievement through press releases and email notifications, students will also receive an email and a link to their Merit page.

NYIT students can find out more at nyit.edu/merit and access their individual Merit pages at nyit.meritpages.com.

Students can forward questions about Merit to the Office of Strategic Communications and External Affairs at studentnews@nyit.edu.
