Throwback Thursday Photo: Homecoming

Today's photo recalls NYIT's first homecoming  in 1971. As reported by The Campus Slate, this homecoming was a week to remember. Students are pictured cheering from the first-ever bleachers installed on the Old Westbury campus near the former Dairy Barn (now the Student Activity Center). Festivities spread over the days included a pep rally, parade, and a ceremony to crown the homecoming queen.

Every Thursday, Social Media Strategist Brylee Kaye shares a retro photo for #TBT (aka Throwback Thursday), a popular hashtag campaign on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This content is featured as part of The Box's "60 Years in 60 Days" series in celebration of NYIT's 60th anniversary in 2015.
