Mathew M. Mandery, Ed.D., ’61
Founder and Leader, Brooklyn Tech Alumni Foundation
Mathew M. Mandery, the only Tech alumnus to serve as principal of Brooklyn Tech, had the extraordinary vision to build an alumni organization that would support Tech through financial, social and educational contributions.

His eventual return to Tech where he served as the Foundation’s CEO, was marked by the development of programs to expand and strengthen the Foundation and connect Tech to the larger STEM community through strategic partnerships. Dr. Mandery helped bring the Foundation to national prominence and the alumni educational programs are part of the permanent fabric of Brooklyn Tech.
