AN INTERVIEW WITH PRESIDENT EDWARD GUILIANO, PH.D.
With the support of alumni, friends, and partners, NYIT continues to elevate its recognition for global academic outreach, student and faculty achievements, thought leadership, and applied research that benefits the world.
Here, NYIT President Edward Guiliano, Ph.D., discusses highlights of the past year and describes how your gifts help define an ongoing legacy that empowers students across our global campuses.
Q What are some of this past year’s most notable accomplishments?
A There is much to celebrate. I could begin with the spectacular year our student-athletes and teams have had, but let’s start with the Senator Paul Simon Award for Campus Internationalization from the NAFSA: Association of International Educators. NYIT received this honor for its dedication to the idea of the global university—one that has been proven through our innovative “one university, one degree” approach that links our campuses in New York, Arkansas, Canada, China, and the United Arab Emirates through shared curricula, diplomas, and accreditations. We embrace globalism in our curricular and our educational experiences wherever they are delivered. And we continue to grow our global network of educational partners, businesses, and even governments.
IntheUnitedStates,we’vefortifiedourreputationaswellalong the lines of access to opportunity and serving the betterment of society. One example is NYITCOM at Arkansas State University, which will welcome more than 100 aspiring D.O.s to Jonesboro. At this new location, we will share expertise and train doctors to help improve the health care of the Arkansas community.
Within the university, we welcomed new trustees who contribute valuable leadership and vision as NYIT embarks on the second phase of its 2030 strategic plan. They include JeromeH.Bailey,retiredoperationalchieffinancialofficerat Citigroup; Sharon Greenberger, president and CEO of the YMCA of Greater New York; Roger A. Sawhney, M.D., partner and vice president of health care and private equity practices at Bain & Company; and Caroline Watteeuw,technologyofficeratglobalprivateequityfirmWarburg Pincus.
Q How does NYIT continue to elevate its status as a 21st-century global university?
A MuchofwhatdefinesNYIT—ourDNA,essentially—is a commitment to technology, entrepreneurship, careers, applied research, and diversity. In addition to providing a world-class education, validated through our high rankings, including top-tier placement in U.S. News & World Report, NYIT remains committed to uniting academia, industry, and government to convene and deliver solutions for our 21st-century world. Since fall 2015, we’ve played host to global conferences ranging from cybersecurity to sustainable megacities of the future to clean water and green energy.
These distinctions have helped us earn a reputation as an elite destination of learning. For the incoming Class of 2020, we received more than 10,000 applications—the largest pool in our history—from students in more than 100 countries and nearly every U.S. state. This is clear evidence that our academic programs and the NYIT brand are resonating with students.
Q How does philanthropic support help NYIT achieve its goals?
A Donor contributions validate our mission of providing accesstoopportunityforqualifiedstudents.Theyhavehelped to fund research in areas that include heart health, cybersecurity,Parkinson’sdisease,andothervitalfields of study, and have enabled our students to travel the world to participate in international conferences and workshops, serve underserved communities through our Center for Global Health, or pursue scholarly research as NYIT Presidential Global Fellows.
Grants and in-kind support also play a valuable role. One example of a project made possible through such donations isNassauCounty’sfirstandonlyClass10,000cleanroom at the Old Westbury campus. This facility allows researchers to nano-engineer unique composite materials and create sensors and other in-demand devices.

Q Every gift counts, especially for scholarships that provide invaluable financial assistance. What other ways does giving benefit students?
A Every year, NYIT assesses campus technology, facilities, and overall infrastructure to ensure that our students have access to the latest resources that give them truly 21st- century global learning experiences. Financial support helps provide advanced equipment for computer labs and travel expenses for study abroad projects.
Q What do our donors mean to you, especially NYIT alumni who support their alma mater?
A Continued support from our friends and alumni will be crucial in the years ahead. It’s with great pride that we acknowledge graduates who give back to NYIT. Across six decades, we’ve had the pleasure of telling many of their success stories—and those of our students and faculty— and we look forward to sharing many more in the years to come. I’d like to thank all of our many donors for their ongoing support.

As president of the only New York law firmthatspecializesineminentdomain,Michael Rikon has become an interna-tional expert in an area of law that is often misunderstood. One of the biggest myths about eminent domain, he explains, is that the land has to be used
for public purpose. “Over the years, public purpose has been so diluted as to mean anything,” he says. The potential for corruption is why Rikon is dedicated to ensuring his clients receive the best possible “just compensation.” Rikon built the foundations of his career at NYIT, where he also met his wife, Leslie. The couple have a son, Joshua, and a daughter, Carrie (B.A. ’97). “When it came time for my daughter to select a college, I had no problem recommending my alma mater,” he says.

FUNDING OUR FUTURE
06 // PRESIDENT’S REPORT 2015 nyit.edu/giving_to_nyit
In celebration of its 60th birthday in 2015, NYIT decided to tell a few stories.
The “60 Years, 60 Stories” Annual Fund campaign highlights the university’s achievementsandinfluence—fromitsinception as a single-campus school in New York City to the computer graphics lab in Old Westbury that pioneered the technology used in 3-D-animated blockbusters to NYIT’s current network of students, faculty, and alumni that spans multiple campuses and continents.
Many of NYIT’s stories—those that have happened and those still to come—are made possible through the NYIT Annual Fund, which serves a vital role in helping NYITfulfillitsmissiontogivestudentsaccess to a world of opportunities. Through the fund, donors can make a direct impact on the university, either by directing their gifts to support NYIT’s
greatestareasofneedortospecificprograms, schools, or campus facilities.
“The Annual Fund provides for everything NYIT needs to operate on a daily basis,” says David Potocki, director of annual giving. “Every dollar directly helps NYIT students through scholarships and campus improvements; supports faculty research; and enhances the technology we use to teach, connect, and communicate.”
“The Annual Fund is a great entry point if you’re new to giving to NYIT,” says PETER ROMANO (B.ARCH. ’76), vice chair of the NYIT Board of Trustees and chair of the NYIT Development Committee. And if donors are unsure which aspects of NYIT they wish to support, making a general gift to the Annual Fund ensures that their contribution is directed toward the best possible use.
“The great thing about the Annual Fund is that you can decide how your gifts are spent,” Romano says. “You can sponsor researchinaspecificarea,pickagroup of students you want to support through scholarships, choose which programs to enhance through new technology and other upgrades—even honor loved ones by naming a building or a facility.”
In recent years, the Annual Fund has helped write some new stories that illustrate NYIT’s legacy of learning through technology. With the help of Annual Fund dollars, NYIT has created new facilities and launched initiatives, including the following:
• In the HIVE (Home of Innovation, Visualization, and Exploration) at NYIT-Manhattan, students use creative digital design technologies that include 3-D printers, virtual reality, and motion capture software.
• At the Center for Sports Medicine, faculty members pursue breakthrough research on concussions and other sports injuries while caring for athletes of all levels.
• Students in the School of Management use the same tools found in leading WallStreetfirms,includingBloombergterminals showing real-time market data, in the Voya Simulated Trading Floor at NYIT-Manhattan.
• The Entrepreneurship and Technology Innovation Center (ETIC) promotes collaboration among academia, government, and industry and supports NYIT’s goal of developing more initiatives in cybersecurity, information technology, bioengineering and medical devices, and sustainable energy solutions.
Alumni are among NYIT’s most valued donors. “As former students, they know the NYIT experience better than anyone, and their decision to support their alma mater demonstrates how much they valued their time here,” Potocki says.

Romano, president of Peter J. Romano & Company Inc., a provider of project
development and management services for major capital building programs, is helping lead the way. He and his wife established the Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Romano Endowed Presidential Scholarship to support students in NYIT School of Architecture and Design. Romano urges alumni who haven’t made a gift to consider making one. “If you’re a successful individual, that’s because you received an excellent education from NYIT,” he says.
Over the past year, Romano shared his passion about NYIT with current and prospective donors in letters accompany-ing the “60 Years, 60 Stories” campaign. “I wanted to say thank you to everyone who contributed to NYIT,” he says. “And for those who haven’t given yet, thanks for considering us in your giving.”
Recognizing donors is essential for growing the Annual Fund, adds Romano. “You need to recognize people’s contributions, and that’s how we build a stronger community of giving at NYIT.”

Originally from New York City’s Washington Heights neighbor-hood, Pakrad worked at IBM for nearly 25 years before starting his own educational consultingfirm,SMPEnterprises,in1993.
Pakrad understands the long-term value a scholarshipcanhave.“Influencingoneperson can open up a world of opportunity for them,” he says. With a generous gift, he established the Samuel A. Pakrad Annual Scholarship for engineering studentsandbecameoneofthefirstmembers of the President’s Forum.
“This is our way of saying thank you to friends and alumni who have made significantgiftstoNYIT,”saysJohnElizandro, vice president for development. “Not only are they giving NYIT students worldwidethechancetofulfilltheirprofessional dreams, these donors are creating their own legacies.”
President’s Forum member MARTIN
FEUER (B.S. ’72), managing director at MUFG Union Bank, “jumped into the pool with both feet” when offered the opportunity to give back to his alma mater. NYIT, he says, “gave me a professional
foundation not just academically, but also with mentoring to help me get where I am today.”
His contributions have funded the Martin FeuerWildfireTopixProfessionalEnrichment Initiative for NYIT students in the School of Management. “My idea was to fund a professional development program where students can discuss controversial business topics that impact the workplace.” Feuer also serves on the Executive Council of the School of Management.
JING XIE (M.B.A. ’06) used her NYIT education to establish two companies: Fengwu (Phoenix) Investment Co. Ltd, which operates boutique hotels and manages property investments, and Huajing Group Corp, which is in the business of promoting international education. While she currently serves as chairwoman of Fengwu and president of Huajing, Jing considers it an honor to join the NYIT President’s Forum and contribute to the place where her professional journey began. “I hope my donations offer more students the opportunity to study at NYIT to have their own ‘see it/think it/do it’ experience.” To her fellow NYIT alumni, Jing adds: “Always remember that we are family, and each member should do his or her own share to make the family better.”
That tradition of alumni and friends helping the next generation is a hallmark of many student success stories at NYIT, and those stories are only growing with the establishment of the President’s Forum.
“NYIT was very good to me,” says LINDA DAVIE (B.S. ’80), who received a scholarship when she was pursuing her NYIT bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. “Finances were tight, and having

“NYIT was very good to me,” says LINDA DAVIE (B.S. ’80), who received a scholarship when she was pursuing her NYIT bachelor’s degree in criminal justice. “Finances were tight, and having
a scholarship helped me attend school and relieve a lot of the burden.”
After graduating from NYIT, Davie earned a law degree and worked for more than three decades as an associate attorney for the Suffolk County (N.Y.) court system. Now, the President’s Forum member is the founder of the Carol and Warren Davie Memorial Endowed Scholarship Fund for students in the College of Arts and Sciences.
Giving to NYIT, she notes, especially at the level recognized by the President’s Forum, has great potential to elevate NYIT’s reputation and empower students for greater success; and more successful students lead to more successful alumni.
To see that promise in person is in many ways its own reward. Each year, NYIT holds a President’s Forum dinner to honor donors and connect them with students whohavebenefitedfromscholarships and other gifts. The 2016 event, held at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Club in March, included 35 students and more than 80 donors.
At this year’s event, School of Management student Dina Ragab expressed just how much being a
recipient of the Voya Foundation Scholarship and the Herbert and June Bienstock International Workshop Endowment meant to her. “This scholarship allows me to meet and engage with different individuals from all over the world, visit major companies, and learn more about operation systems and logistics,” she said.
“It was very inspirational meeting [the donors] and seeing how so many successful alumni got to where they are because of NYIT,” says architecture major Louis Gonzalez (B.Arch. ’16), recipient of the Mr. and Mrs. Peter J. Romano Endowed Presidential Scholarship. “Everyone wanted to help out, and that was reassuring for me.” Gonzalez’s scholarship helped fund academic trips to Europe to explore natural landscapes in Iceland as well as study the historic architecture of London.
For many donors, becoming a member of the President’s Forum also brings their own experiences full circle.
“NYIT was the best place in the world,” says Davie. “And I just want to pay it forward to the next generation of students.”

“I believe that [NYIT School of Architecture and Design] offers a solid foundation for any person who wants to pursue a career not only in architecture, but also in the various fields of construction and real estate. In my career, I have come across grads who own construction and management firms and expediting firms, or who work for developers and (in my case) work for a private equity firm. I attribute much of the success in my career to my education at NYIT.”
