The Alumni Association was established approximately 50 years ago. Each year in June, former students are invited back to their Alma Mater. During the weekend Alumni members can reminisce with old friends, develop new friendships and participate in many activities.

Also the Association gives out several monetary awards and equipment to the students of the Institute.

This year NYISE redesigned its logo. The circular logo now has a dark blue background with the words "The New York Institute for Special Education" in a circular pattern in the color of gold. The logo still features a torch behind an open book in the center of the circle. The torch is in gold matching the lettering and the book is in white. They represent the knowledge and enlightenment that education brings. Click here for a large view of the new logo.

To learn more and to become a member, contact Don Moore. Also consider joining their mailing list and communicate with old friends and staff members at Nyi-L listserv.
