| | September 11th, 2012 NYC - WE BACK BABY!  Kim Pham - digest wrangler and newly-elected president ( w00t) - here! Humbled to be rockin' it alongside my stellar executive board, who have been hard at work planning this semester's dope events. Yeah that's right - we were furiously heads down on our initiatives while you were out frolicking Oppa Gangnam style. All joking aside, Tech@NYU is at the forefront of fostering a student technology culture in NYC - a sandbox for y'all to meet, experiment, share, and ultimately ship. It is this vision that wakes me up everyday and fuels my sleepless nights - to provide the tools, platform, and inspiration for students to learn and build with one another. That, and the daunting task of keeping Nate Berkopec's legacy of GIF Master alive. Looking forward to seeing your beautiful faces at the next Tech@NYU event. Regardless, say hi + lets grab a cup of coffee - I want to hear your story :) [Featured Event] @ Hours // 12:30pm, TBD Tech@NYU believes that true value is derived from meaningful, one-on-one interactions. We're introducing @ Hours to bridge the gap between bright students and prominent NYC tech figures through concise, 10-minute conversations. Our first @ Hours will be with Marshall of Socratic Labs - they put edtech companies through a rigorous program to develop, test, and scale solutions to education problems, and provide access to investors. If you are intrigued by the learning sciences, edtech startups, accelerator programs, etc., Marshall is looking for social media/marketing and design interns or anyone to come hang at their new space. Interested in having a conversation? Sign up for @ Hours today! [Featured Event] Tech@NYU General Meeting // 5:10pm, Kimmel 804 Ready to rock it with the best?
