Abu Dhabi's NYIT honoured for excellence in int'l education

New York - NAFSA: Association of International Educators is recognising NYIT and three other universities for encouraging international engagement both inside and outside the classroom.

New York institute of Technology, or NYIT, including its campus in Abu Dhabi, is being honoured for excellence in global education as a recipient of the prestigious 2016 Paul Simon Award for Comprehensive Internationalisation.
NAFSA: Association of International Educators is recognising NYIT and three other universities for encouraging international engagement both inside and outside the classroom. The award attests to NYIT's longstanding commitment to international education via its globally integrated curriculum, co-curricular options that encourage students to travel and become global citizens, an internationally connected faculty, and strategic partnerships throughout the world.
"For nearly 20 years, NYIT has been linking strategically with partners in regions that require career-oriented education to develop national economies and knowledge-based capital," said Edward Guiliano, president.With two campuses in New York, NYIT now operates additional campuses in Canada, China, and the UAE.
Following a unique "one university" model, all campuses share a common curriculum and issue the same diploma. Guiliano adds, "Part of what attracts faculty and students to NYIT is that we are a global university."
