Dear New York Tech community:

Fresh off the news that we moved up 130 places in the Wall Street Journal/Times Higher Education College Rankings, I am delighted to share another great update about New York Institute of Technology. We are now a member of the prestigious Association of Independent Technological Universities (AITU), a group that includes Caltech, Carnegie Mellon, MIT, RPI, Stevens Institute of Technology, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and other leading private American technological universities and colleges. Founded in 1957, AITU’s mission is to play a vital role in securing the future of American competitiveness in the global marketplace. It embraces the same core values shared by New York Tech, which include promoting creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship; offering a technology-fueled education that leads to rewarding careers; and nurturing interest in STEM and professional education from K-12 onward.

Our AITU membership represents new opportunities for us to learn from elite institutions as we develop superior academic, research, and career preparation experiences. Moreover, our inclusion would not have been possible without the New York Tech community and its legacy of achievement throughout the decades—so congratulations again to faculty, staff, students, and alumni on this outstanding news!

Sincerely,

Hank Foley, Ph.D.
President, New York Institute of Technology
