Student Outcomes, the CyBears, and the Latest Alumni News
October 31, 2018
Read the Fall 2018 Issue of NYIT Magazine.
This year, eSports viewership is expected to reach 380 million. That means big opportunities for athletes and other industries. NYIT is already in the game. In Field of Screens (p. 12), you’ll meet the CyBears, our official eSports team, and learn how NYIT is using eSports to expand into new areas of research, academics, and career preparation.
Speaking of careers—have you ever wondered how NYIT students fare when they graduate? We break it down by the numbers and introduce you to students and recent grads (including IBM hackathon winners) in A Picture of the Future (p. 18).
Plus: Meet Patrick M. O’Shaughnessy (D.O. ’99), Kyle Barry (B.S. ’07, M.B.A. ’12), Leigh McManus Clark (B.S. ’03), and Denise Berger (B.Arch. ’86); attend local alumni events in your area; and catch up on all the latest news from your classmates in alumni notes.
