Dear NYSID Community,

In light of the Supreme Court’s ruling that affirmative action should not be considered in college admissions, I would like to reiterate NYSID’s commitment to both maintaining—and expanding—the diversity of our student body. 

Through our ongoing efforts to raise scholarship funds and programs like our Pre-College Program where historically underrepresented students are introduced to design as a career, NYSID is opening pathways for socio-economically marginalized groups.  

We remain steadfast in our goal of creating a more inclusive pipeline to the design field. 

Sincerely, 
David Sprouls 
President, NYSID
