Summer Orientation 2008

"Building our Community - Shaping our Future"

Congratulations and welcome to New York Institute of Technology (NYIT). Orientation is designed to help you make a smooth transition to NYIT. During Orientation, current students, staff, and faculty work: to welcome you and your family members to NYIT; to create an environment preparing you for the next step of your journey through college; and to help you meet new people and ask questions. The goal is to ensure that you have a worthwhile, informative, and enjoyable experience.

We are delighted that you have decided to become a part of New York Institute of Technology. New Student Orientation is only the beginning of the exciting, challenging, and rewarding times ahead of you.

Your attendance is mandatory at one orientation session this summer, and at the Presidential Welcome in September. We are looking forward to meeting you this summer and we are confident you will like what you see at New York Institute of Technology.
