Alumni Voices

Emily Kraft (D.O. ’23) Osteopathic Medicine

I definitely felt more prepared for residency because of the hands-on learning I received [at NYITCOM-Arkansas], and not all schools are able to provide that.

Soyeb Barot (M.S. ’05) Computer Science

It’s rewarding to learn from mentees [in the CAMPUS Mentoring Program], how they look at challenges and what motivates them. I am often impressed and inspired by them. New York Tech provides a fantastic home for a diverse community, which makes it a meeting place for students to come up with innovative ideas and solutions.

Gail Kubik (B.Arch. ’10) Architecture

[While at New York Tech], I gained an acute awareness of how an architect can be involved in more aspects of the built environment beyond the notion of designing or renovating buildings. Material research, energy/carbon analysis, disaster assistance, and policy formation are just a few examples of how architects can contribute to the conversations affecting the built environment.

Ava Watts (M.S. ’21) Environmental Technology and Sustainability

I created an opportunity for myself, but New York Tech jumped on it. Other universities might have shut it down, but New York Tech is so supportive of students’ goals.
