SILVER JUBILEE

25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

MS Management Of Technology Program

Friday, May 22, 2015 from 6 to 9 PM

Please join us in celebrating all that we have accomplished in the 25 years since the beginning of the MS Management of Technology Program. The event is being held at the New York Academy of Sciences in their stellar new facilities at 7 World Trade Center – 40th Floor and will start with a networking cocktail hour for MS-MOT alumni, students, friends and family, as well as NYU faculty and invited guests.

This will be followed by a served dinner with featured keynote addresses from Philip Guido; General Manager, IBM Global Technology Services, North America, and Faith Popcorn, a trusted advisor to the CEOs of The Fortune 500, and founder and CEO of Faith Popcorn’s BrainReserve, the futurist marketing consultancy she established in 1974. .

We have a limited number of eight-person tables available for alumni and industry sponsors. You may invite your colleagues, former classmates, and family and friends to sit with you at your sponsored table. Tables are set for eight but if your party includes fewer, we would be happy to suggest additional invitees including leading current students, recent graduates, or distinguished faculty members.

Support from these sponsored tables will enable us to expand and improve the MS MOT program for students and alumni. Among other things, your sponsorship will help build a powerful website to enable social and professional networking, improved professional development, access to technology and business experts (especially those within the entire community of MS MOT family and friends), and hiring and job searches. For more information please send your contact info to Prof. Bharat Rao (bharat.rao@nyu.edu) or Prof. Joe Nadan (nadan@nyu.edu).

In addition, we have individual tickets available for the event, for alumni and current students. We encourage you to consider bringing your spouse or significant other to this very special celebration.

We look forward to seeing you on May 22!
