Homecoming 2018
September 25, 2018
It’s back! After a 35-year hiatus, the NYIT community celebrated their school spirit on September 22 with Homecoming 2018. The day started with an Open Forum hosted by NYIT President Hank Foley, Ph.D., followed by festivities on the Student Activities Center Field. Andre Doughty (BFA ’15, M.A. ’16) served up the tunes as DJ and master of ceremonies as the crowd in NYIT-Long Island (Old Westbury, N.Y.) enjoyed a barbecue, local food trucks, a beer garden, and lawn games. To top it off, women’s tennis swept LIU Post 7-0, women’s soccer blanked Lincoln (Pa.) 9-0, and men’s soccer edged University of the District of Columbia 3-2.
