NYIT Magazine Explores Megacities and More
February 29, 2016
Take a look at the city skyline on the cover of the latest issue of NYIT Magazine and you'll notice it's turned vertically, stretching up and away from the edges of the cover itself. Megacities are pushing past boundaries and growing in unprecedented ways. But with that growth comes problems—such as the lack of clean water, food, and energy. In this issue, learn how NYIT faculty members and students are addressing these challenges and finding innovative ways to ensure that megacities, and their populations, have a viable future (story p. 12).
Want more great NYIT stories? From appetizing apps to tantalizing trucks, see how alumni are dishing up big business in the food and beverage industries (story p. 19). Women's volleyball closed out a historic run in December 2015; reconnect with Coach Gail Wasmus (M.P.S. '80) as she celebrates 30 years at NYIT (story p. 10). Plus: alumni notes, the latest news, and a spotlight on acclaimed sports and television program censor Mike "the Finger" Marsico (B.F.A. '96) (story inside back cover).
