Seventy-five years after New York City College of Technology opened its doors to its first class of 234 students, we reflect on the College’s momentous history and take time to acknowledge the individuals who have shaped the institution we are today.

We celebrate our 113,000+ alumni who have made crucial contributions to society, across a spectrum of fields. We celebrate our faculty and staff who educated and supported students across these decades. We celebrate our current college community, the impressive 13,784 students and accomplished faculty and staff who have led to City Tech’s recognition as #14 in Top Public Schools and #15 in Top Performers on Social Mobility (US News & World Report Best Colleges Rankings, 2023.

To honor our inspirational past and prepare for a resilient future that will open doors of opportunity for generations to come, we are launching a 75th Anniversary campaign. Our campaign officially kicks off with #CUNYTuesday 11/1- 12/31, but celebrations will continue throughout the academic year.
