From April 29 through May 3, students, faculty, and staff celebrated the end of the academic year at MayFest. This year’s festivities were hosted by the Office of Student Life in collaboration with various student organizations.

A long-standing New York Tech tradition, MayFest kicked off with a swag giveaway on the Long Island campus and karaoke night in New York City. The week followed with a bevy of activities, including working on DIY projects while sipping bubble tea in New York City, Taco Tuesday on Long Island, Arcade Day in the 11th-floor auditorium in 16 W. 61st St., Final Roar Senior Toasts at Three Monkeys in New York City and Buffalo Wild Wings on Long Island, carnivals on both campuses, and a fashion show on the New York City campus featuring the styles of up-and-coming designers.
