Experiential Education Supervisor Recognition Award

Judge Gregorek:  "This honor is twofold:  to have been selected for the Experiential Education Supervisor Recognition Award; and to have been nominated by Christopher Engel (B.A. Management, May 2011)."

"Three years ago Christopher answered the call and began his leadership of Great American Mentoring--a club he helped me establish, earning awards for excellence each year.  Drawing upon the lessons in GAM, Christopher and I accepted the challenge of growing the School of Management's Professional Enrichment Program.  Christopher will graduate with numerous awards, certificates and other accolades."  

"While on paper I have been Christopher's supervisor, he is my teammate.  I am honored to have worked with him.  Speaking for my teammate and I, we choose to exercise this opportunity to tell everyone that our success was facilitated with the support and guidance provided by Career Services' Internship Certificate Program administered by Amy Bravo, Director of Experiential Education.  It ensured we kept up with the best of NYIT, providing us with consistency and feedback.  Consistency and feedback are the two ingredients that make a supervisor and an intern successful."

Michael J. Gregorek is a retired judge, who has been teaching philosophy, history, business law and more as an Adjunct Assistant Professor for NYIT for over ten years.  In 2007 he received the Presidential Excellence Award for Outstanding Achievement in Adjunct Teaching.

Christopher Engel is a senior graduating in May 2011 with a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/Management.  He is the president of Great American Mentoring.  For AY2009-10 he received awards for Outstanding Club President and Outstanding Student Leader.
