Our 7th NYU Poly Engineering Cohort is the most successful yet!  Many thanks to Mr. Hassan and his work with our NYU Poly Partners to revamp the program to enable our young women to be the most successful cohort to date.  Last Thursday, all our 18 young women successfully completed 100% of their assignments for the term and successfully commissioned their robots.  Staff joined our students to celebrate their achievements.  We cannot be more proud of them, and we happily give a big shout out to Mr. Hassan for helping us elevate the quality of our partnership with NYU-Poly!

Annual Staff Party is THIS FRIDAY!  Our annual winter staff party is on Friday 12DEC14.  We'll once again be having it at Sharlene's Bar from 4-6PM.  We're asking for $20 from staff for an open bar and light appetizers.  Family and friends are welcome to join us at 6PM.   I'm trying to get a head count for Friday so I can budget and plan food and drink.   Please RSVP using this LINK by Wednesday, 10DEC14 and if you are coming, please give me your $20 by Thursday, 11DEC14.   We have a lot to celebrate together this year!  Looking forward to Friday!!
