Evin Floyd Robinson ’12, G’14 and Jessica Santana ’11, G’13 help prepare the next generation of technology leaders in New York City through access to the development, mentoring, networking and professional experiences that prepare them for degrees and careers in technology.

Robinson and Santanta are co-founders of New York on Tech (NYOT), an organization that creates and improves pathways for impoverished students and those from underrepresented populations to gain exposure to and proficiency in technology and innovation fields.

Jessica Santana ’11, G’13

Through immersive programs for high school students that include internship opportunities and mentoring, as well as after-school educational programming, Robinson and Santana help a forgotten segment of the population receive access to this valuable training.

Their work has been featured by AlleyWatch, BET, Black Enterprise, CNN, Forbes, Huffington Post, The Network Journal, Sirius XM Radio, TechCrunch and Wells Fargo, .

For their contributions, Robinson and Santana will receive the Generation Orange Award during Orange Central, SU’s annual homecoming and reunion weekend, Oct. 18-21.

The Generation Orange Award is presented to young alumni who have made significant contributions to their communities and to the University.
