Frequently Asked Questions
Have You Moved?
As part of this project, we are also taking this opportunity to help make it easier for you to stay connected to New York Tech. PCI will help us to collect updated contact information from those of you who may have moved and inadvertently lost touch with us.
Your Story
So what "Tech Tales" will you tell?
- Did a special faculty or staff member have a profound impact on your life?
- Did you meet your sweetheart at New York Tech?
- Can you trace your career path back to a defining moment at our alma mater?
- Have connections you made on campus turned into lifelong friendships?
- Were you at New York Tech during a historical moment?
PCI Partnership
With our limited resources, we’d never be able to tackle a project like this. By partnering with PCI, we’re able to access their trained staff of real live human beings who are excited to listen to what you have to share. PCI will also be helping us to collect and assemble the stories into the "Tech Tales" book that we can share with all Bears. Please note that we have only shared your contact information with PCI in conjunction with this project. We have NOT sold your contact information, or otherwise used it for outside marketing purposes.
Do I have to buy something?
No. This project is being done at NO COST to New York Institute of Technology. The project is completely funded by the alumni who CHOOSE to purchase the "Tech Tales" book that will be produced at the end of the project. PCI will also offer you the option to purchase other New York Tech branded merchandise such as a hat, t-shirt, sweatshirt, and a travel bag. You are welcome to purchase these items, but you are not required to do so to (a) participate in the project or (b) order the oral history book. Again, we’d never be able to embark on a project like this without the support of our amazing alumni and the partnership with PCI. So we sincerely thank every person that participates and chooses to purchase the book. Please see the chart below for more information.

What’s next?
Soon you will be receiving email and postcard communications from the PCI team with instructions on how to participate. We’d like to invite you to share one of your stories with us, and take part in this first of its kind project to honor the experiences and voices of our alumni. The PCI team will collect stories until the end of the calendar year. After then, they will enter a post-production phase editing the data. We hope to have the book distributed in by Summer 2021.
