Dear NYSSSA Alumni:

Whether you are a recent alumnus of one of the eight NYSSSA schools, or attended a program long ago, we hope that the experience was a valuable one for you and that you have fond memories of your time in the program. As a graduate of the NYSSSA, you are now a member of the NYSSSA Alumni. There are currently over 10,000 NYSSSA Alumni who have distinguished themselves in careers in the arts and other professions – from actors to system analysts, symphony members to music teachers, animators to choreographers, marine biologists to graphic designers and prima ballerinas to physical therapists. Their lives and career paths are unique and varied, but their experience at NYSSSA provides a common bond.

In order to keep in touch with all of you, we have just launched a new section of the NYSSSA Web Site especially for alumni. It is a place where you can tell fellow alumni and prospective students about your accomplishments, remain in touch with friends, locate classmates, and contact the NYSSSA office, while staying informed about the current Summer Schools. We will also include alumni profiles, class notes and NYSSSA activities. In order to do this, we hope that you will take a few minutes to fill out and electronically return the new ON-LINE ALUMNI QUESTIONNAIRE so that we can place your information (if you permit) on the web site. If you would rather not be listed there, please let us know and we will keep your information in our files only. We will also be receiving a paper copy of the Alumni Questionnaire.

If you know of other alumni who would like this information, please pass it on to them. And, if you have any suggestions for the web site, please let us know. We hope to hear from you. Please email us at nysssa@mail.nysed.gov
