Welcome from the Dean of Student Affairs!
Hello Transfer Student:
Welcome to the Polytechnic community. As a transfer student, you arrive with a foundation of knowledge regarding the adjustment to college. However, we want to ensure that you are prepared for the NYU-Poly experience. You will find that the faculty, staff and administrators will work with you to build a community of learners and to create an environment that promotes leadership, values diversity and respect for others, and fosters learning both in and out of the classroom.
It is important that you take an active role in your education. We encourage all of our students to become involved both inside and outside the classroom. You need to seek out the resources and services around the university dedicated to assisting you in your success. Polytechnic is located in the greatest college town around, New York City – so take advantage of all it has to offer. Finally, we encourage you to set your goals and to keep them high, but also remember to balance all of your responsibilities to ensure you remain healthy and focused.
You are now a member of the “PolyThinking” community, with over 150 years of rich tradition. This tradition of PolyThinkers has been built on a legacy of commitment, equality, diversity and impeccable academic credentials. You are the next generation of this tradition and will play an integral role in creating the future of PolyThinking with an eye on inventiveness, innovation and entrepreneurship.
Best wishes for a successful year!
Dr. Michael A. Hutmaker
Dean of Student Affairs
