His determination to reach his full potential, as well as his ambition to be successful, led to his commitment to public service and his ultimate goal of enhancing the well being of others. As a senior at New York Institute of Technology who has worked for the Office of Student Affairs for nearly three years, he was provided the opportunity to hone his skills in strategic competency, organizational development, and supervision. Brandon has outstanding professional demeanor, attention to detail, and familiarity with team-oriented environments. Born on a United States Army installation in Germany into a military family, and living in more than 16 states, Brandon was able to volunteer for numerous federal policy initiatives and service groups. Through constantly interacting with many different people and performing multiple tasks under time constraints, Brandon gained three essential qualities to succeed in this fast changing global marketplace: a strong sense of responsibility, a problem-solving mindset, and team spirit. His friends and colleagues regard him as one of the most insightful, charismatic, and compassionate individuals in our community today. Aside from NYIT, Brandon resides in San Antonio, Texas. He currently works as a volunteer at a public service group in Fort Sam Houston, and interns for United States Senator Ted Cruz. Authored by: Mr. Brandon Lálone New York Institute of Technology About the Author: II NYiT Student | Class of 2013 The Antiquity Proposal When Determination Leads to Innovation Reflections From a Student Realizing the Promise of Greatness As the four years of my undergraduate experience quickly draw down, and with commencement on the horizon, I wanted to dedicate this piece of work to NYIT students past, present, and future. I spent nearly four years in Student Affairs and I was fortunate to serve in multiple roles with a recurring fundamental purpose: build a community dedicated to fostering student success while creating inclusiveness in our community. From my time on the Student Government Association, Campus Programming Board, Student Ambassador Association, Orientation Leader to Admitted Students, First Year Advisor to New Students, Resident Assistant and Head Resident Assistant for Residential Life, I utilized my daily experience in reflective dialogue with my peers to determine what areas we could improve on. Through this proposal, I made that experience and those determinations for improvement, a tangible reflection. There has never been a more dynamic period at New York Institute of Technology as we take steps to achieve lofty goals—and our efforts are paying off. Our global community is working together to create a university where education is second to none and groundbreaking research flourishes. The support of our alumni and friends makes this possible. Everywhere you look the University is being reinvigorated—thanks to this investment in our students, faculty, programs, and facilities—and we are taking advantage of this ambition to further accelerate our progress. This is an exciting time to be a NYiT student – we are on the move. Brandon Chase Lálone, Author Authored by: Mr. Brandon Lálone New York Institute of Technology Reflections From a Student: III NYiT Student | Class of 2013 The Antiquity Proposal Realizing the Promise of Greatness Purpose of Determination Streamlining Affinity | Blending Corporate Presence | Evolving Global Identity My purpose for creating this proposal stems from the impact of shared experience within our community. In our global community, we share common experiences that connect us to each other, our alma mater, and most significantly, to NYIT. The importance of continuity and shared experiences among students, past and present, cannot be overestimated. My purpose for writing such an ambition is to propose initiatives that better connect students to NYIT, expand inclusiveness by blending our corporate presence, and promote affinity in our global community by connecting us to our past history and tradition. My ultimate goal is to have NYIT’s retention rate above 90% - a very ambitious and boundless goal. We are all bound to those of yesteryear in spirit, but today's NYIT sees little of their lost legacy. Our hearts were made with the same unwavering spirits as those of our alma mater, and it is that very notion that guides us and leads our global community. While we may be a global institution, with diverse students and campuses all over the world, we are united not only by educational pursuits, but by our unfaltering pride and dedication to one another. Pictured Left is current NYIT President and CEO, Dr. Edward Guiliano at NYIT’s annual Mayfest celebration held in May of each year. Dr. Guiliano is pictured here watching his students have fun just before final exam week begins for the college. Authored by: Mr. Brandon Lálone New York Institute of Technology Purpose of Determination: IV NYiT Student | Class of 2013 The Antiquity Proposal | Streamlining Affinity | Blending Corporate Presence | | Evolving Global Identity | Preface Heritage | Tradition | Birthright New York Institute of Technology (NYIT) has a long history of working with students across the globe to articulate the aims of a career-oriented professional education in our time. NYIT and its history are profoundly distinctive as an admired and respected institution of higher education. Its mission focuses centrally on the quality of student learning and the changing purpose and nature of post-secondary curricula. Recently, as NYIT’s population has become increasingly diverse, our traditions must transition to create a more inclusive environment for students. For the sake of correcting, strengthening, and preserving these rituals and all the positive contributions they have to offer, NYIT’s leaders must also recognize the faults related to
