It has been brought to our attention that Dr. Ingenito did not receive tenure this year. This means that she can no longer be faculty at NYIT. This is obviously a large loss to the PT department. We all know what Dr. Ingenito teaches is so important to the NPTE boards and our careers as PTs. To have fellow NYIT peers at a disadvantage regarding all the material that she teaches is just unacceptable. The
program will truly experience a hard time finding someone to replace her who
will only be slightly comparable to Dr. Ingenito in the event that she does not stay in the NYIT family.
This is of deep concern to me as Dr. Ingenito represents everything that is so special to NYIT's DPT program. Outside of being a teacher who has the best interest of her students in mind at all times, she demonstrates values you simply cannot teach on a daily basis. Dr. Ingenito is highly involved in the NYIT community through fund raisers, the Health Academy at NYIT, symposium presentations, multiple research studies every year, etc. Dr. Ingenito is someone that I look up to as a Physical Therapist and health professional. She is the kind of Professor that every university should be fighting over to hire and keep.
