New York Tech Academic Minute

Five New York Tech experts will be highlighted the week of February 17 – 21 in a “takeover” of The Academic Minute, a daily segment on Northeast Public Radio featuring research that contributes to serving the public good. The weekly takeover is a privilege that allows universities to feature a different expert each day within a week (Monday - Friday) and is also promoted to readers of Inside Higher Ed.
