Football Great, Well
Known Broadcaster
To Deliver
Commencement
Address
John Hazen White, Jr.,
Business And
Civic Leader To Be
Honored At
Commencement
This year’s commencement address will
be delivered by Terry Bradshaw, a Pro Football
Hall of Fame quarterback who brought fans
to their feet as he rocketed footballs down
the field, then turned his love of the game
into an Emmy award-winning broadcasting
career. He has authored best-selling books,
launched a singing career and acted in movies and sitcoms. On Sunday, May 5, 2013
he’ll share both insight and humor with New
England Institute of Technology graduates and
their families and friends. The college’s 72nd
commencement ceremony will be held at the
Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence
beginning at 11 a.m.
The versatile Bradshaw became one of
the most recognized quarterbacks in NFL
history and was the first to win four Super
Bowl championships, all for the Pittsburgh
Steelers. He led his team to eight AFC Central championships during his 14 year career,
and became a two-time Super Bowl MVP
and four-time All Pro. When he retired as an
active player he segued to broadcasting and
became one of the best known broadcasters in
sports. His work on Fox NFL Sunday earned
him Emmy awards as an outstanding sports
personality/analyst in 1999, 2001 and 2009.
He is popular on the TV talk show circuit and
has appeared on virtually every talk show on
air, including numerous guest spots with Jay
Leno. His acting credits have included a role
in the hit Failure to Launch with Sarah Jessica
Parker and guest spots on sitcoms including
New England Institute of Technology
will honor prominent Rhode Island business
leader and civic activist John Hazen White, Jr.,
during commencement. Mr. White is president
of Taco, Inc., a third-generation, $200 million
manufacturing company headquartered in
Cranston, Rhode Island. He is also an outspoken civic activist, dedicated to improving the
state’s business and political climate. White
will receive an honorary doctor of humane
letters in recognition of his contributions to
the betterment of Rhode Island.
Under White’s leadership, Taco, Inc.
employs 500 people, including some NEIT
graduates. The world-class manufacturer of
pumps, valves, tanks, electric controls and
other components used in heating and cooling applications is a leader in its industry.
The company is known for empowering its
employees through education and involvement in all levels of decision making. Taco’s
Cranston facility features a large teaching and
training center where employees are offered
the opportunity to choose from 150 different
free courses in everything from reading and
English as a Second Language (ESL), to
marketing, accounting, cooking and painting.
White says continuing education is something
from which everyone benefits.
“People like me, who are looking for young
people to come into the business world, are
looking for people who like to learn,” says
White. “That’s because no matter what a
person’s specific area of expertise is, it’s only
Everybody Loves Raymond, Malcolm in the
Middle, and Hardcastle and McCormick.
He also lent his unique voice to the popular
animated film Robots. He says he’s always
looking for a new adventure.
“I think progression in life has always been
kind of a cool thing,” says Bradshaw. “I’ve
always challenged myself. I’ve failed at many
things, but I’ve had so much fun that it’s been
a really great life.”
Bradshaw says New England Tech students
should look forward to the challenges and
changes ahead in their lives. “They will see
a natural progression going forward and they
should embrace it and be happy with who they
are. They’ve already had a great accomplishment by graduating and should be excited
about what’s out there. The best part of life is
moving forward.”
Bradshaw became a standout player in high
school where he also set the national javelin

a fraction of what they’re capable of being.
Learning brings into play all the things that
make an individual unique and special.”
Taco extends its commitment to learning to
the children of employees, offering not only
college scholarships, but summer enrichment
programs. Six to eleven year olds are offered
an opportunity to attend art and music camp
and learn about puppetry, music and dance.
Older children have the opportunity to study
oceanography and learn about the environment at a summer camp at the University of
Rhode Island.
Mr. White’s business focus extends far
beyond the bottom line. He considers his
employees to be like family. “I don’t call Taco
a company, I call it an experiment, because
we’re always trying things that are fun and
different,” says White. “I love these people with
all my heart and soul. We have accomplished
something here together and against all odds.”

Interior Design Grad Hits the Jackpot
Belinda Braga graduated from New
England Tech in 2008 with a Bachelor
of Science degree in Interior Design
and is now the Visual Merchandise
Manager at Foxwoods Resort Casino.
She recently hosted NEIT Assistant
Professor Dawn Edmonson and
Interior Design students. Ironically,
one of Belinda’s assistants, Dawn
Milliner, is also a graduate of NEIT’s
Interior Design program. Students
were impressed with Belinda’s
enthusiasm, knowledge, and level
of responsibility. When asked by the
students if she felt her education at
NEIT prepared her for the industry she
said, “Absolutely!” Belinda shares her
story with Tech News readers.
What made you decide to
attend NEIT?
After high school I spent a
little over a year studying Fine
Arts at a community college
but then decided to go to work
full time because I wasn’t sure
about the career I wanted to
enter. After spending ten years
in retail management, I decided
that wasn’t the field I wanted
and started looking into going
back to school. I needed to find
a school where I could continue
to work to support myself and
get an education in a field that
would bring me success and happiness. I chose NEIT because of
the amount of time it took to get
my degree and its ability to work
with adult students. I also liked
the fact that the faculty members
were not only teachers but working professionals in the field, so
they had real life experience.
How did you choose your
program?
I knew I wanted to do something with art, but I wasn’t sure
what. I had visited NEIT a few
years earlier to look at the archi-
tectural program but decided it
wasn’t for me. At that time they
had just introduced the Associate
in Science degree program in
Interior Design, which interested
me, but I wanted to earn a Bachelor of Science degree. I decided
to wait on schooling for a few
more years. When I went back to
NEIT, an Interior Design bachelor
degree program had been added,
so it was a perfect match.
What did you do to get
started with your career?
I started with a two month
internship at a small residential
design firm on the East Side of
Providence. While I was there, I
basically organized catalogs and
fabrics and made phone calls
for the owner. It wasn’t much
and I didn’t get paid, but it was
enough to start understanding
the business and get some experience under my belt. Doing the
internship gave me an advantage
when it came to searching for a
job. Everyone wants someone
with at least a little experience so
the internship and my ten years
in retail helped me land a job
as a junior designer for a small
commercial design and furniture
re-seller in Warwick, RI.
Tell us about your position.
There are a lot of small
pieces to my position that all
need to fall into place in order
for everything to flow smoothly.
The overall description is I am in
charge of anything that is visible
in the retail stores. I oversee a
great team of retail coordinators
without whom I would not be able
to accomplish some of the bigger
tasks my position requires. We
work closely with the buyers and
retail operations to merchandise
the stores so they entice people to
not only walk in, but also to make
purchases. Designing display
windows, creating interesting
feature tables, and maintaining
standards such as lighting, signage, and neatness of product
are all part of the daily activities.
Besides that I am responsible
for any design decisions such as
Finishes, Fixtures and Equipment
(FF&E) and marketing within
the stores.
The bigger part of my posi-
tion is the actual interior design
of the stores. Whether we use
an outside company or I design
the stores myself, I am the main
point of contact for the project
managers, architects, structural
engineers, marketing and signage or anyone else that may be
involved with a project. I typically
act as the designer and project
coordinator which means I take
the project from the very first idea
all the way through to the final
day of merchandising before we
open a store. There is so much
more to my position but based
on the simple fact that every day
is different and given this is Foxwoods, it’s anything but ordinary.
What do you feel ultimately prepared you for
your position?
My ten years of retail didn’t
hurt, but NEIT definitely helped
to prepare me for what I am doing today. Not only did the actual
design classes help, but knowing
the building codes, how to read
drawings, and draft by hand gives
me a huge advantage when working with the building inspector,
project managers and architects.
They know they are dealing with a
competent individual. My bosses
even look to me to translate what
is in the drawings. Having to get
up and present in front of people
in pretty much every class also
helped. In this business you need
to be able to speak to people with
confidence.
Do you have any advice
for graduates who are just
beginning their job search?
Yes. Keep searching and
make sure you follow up. Use any
connections you may have even if
you think it won’t work. Interior
Design is about building relationships, and you never know who
may be able to help you.
What can students do to
better prepare themselves
for careers in this field?
I would always suggest getting
an internship even if it’s for only
5-10 hours a week. Find the time
because it will pay off in the end.
Also make sure you keep up on
the latest trends and products
and how they can be used.

BRADSHAW Continued from page 1
throwing record. He went on to attend Louisiana Tech where he still holds
the single-season passing and total offense records. His talent on the
football field caught the attention of scouts and he became the first player
chosen in the 1970 draft. As quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he
was known for calling his own plays, something rarely done at the time
and uncommon even in today’s NFL. With his on-the-field leadership, he
helped the Steelers become a powerhouse team. He was named NFL Player
of the Year by Associated Press, and received the NFL Alumni’s Career
Achievement award.
Outside of football he was named Man of the Year by the Big Sisters
of America, Father of the Year by the National Father’s Day Council and
became the NFL’s first and only player to receive a star on Hollywood’s
Walk of Fame. He’s raised money for numerous charities and started his
own program to feed the hungry called Food for Families. Beyond funding
the project, he also raises the livestock and has provided meals for nearly
100,000 families.
Football fame brought lots of opportunity Bradshaw’s way. He has appeared in hundreds of television commercials, given numerous speeches,
hosted his own talk show, authored five books and recorded four albums.
Two of those albums were top-selling gospel records. His cover of Hank
Williams’ I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry became a Top 10 country hit. Next,
he will be starring in a show in Las Vegas.
Despite his many accomplishments, Bradshaw doesn’t keep reminders
of his success in his home. He says you won’t find trophies or football
pictures anywhere in his house. “That’s a part of my life that’s come and
gone,” he says. Instead, there are pictures of his two daughters, and of the
quarter horses and thoroughbreds he now raises and sometimes races.
He says he likes to keep things simple and that the most important thing
in his life is that his children know he loves them.
“It’s not about the dollars, it’s about the happiness,” says Bradshaw.
“I don’t really measure success. I’m more of a guy that measures happiness.” As New England Tech graduates accept their diplomas, he wishes
them the same. “I want them to have what I want to have,” says Bradshaw,
“happiness.”
During commencement, Bradshaw will receive an honorary doctor of
humane letters in recognition of his life’s work and his efforts to help others.
WHITE Continued from page 1
White has been at the helm of Taco for 22 years. His grandfather started
the company following World War I, and his father ran it for nearly 50
years. Under White’s leadership, Taco has grown considerably in the type
of products offered and in market reach and annual sales. What hasn’t
changed is the White family tradition of philanthropic activities, civic
involvement and activism.
Like his father before him, White is deeply committed to education,
the arts and improving Rhode Island’s business and political climate. He
writes a bi-weekly newspaper column, which focuses on issues of concern to Rhode Islanders, and has hosted a public affairs and advocacy TV
show called Lookout. “It’s all about putting the facts and issues before the
public,” says White. “The single greatest motivation for change is support
and it’s only going to happen if the public is aware of the issues and rises
up to demand change.”
White was born and raised in Rhode Island and says despite any
challenges the state or companies who do business here may face, he’s
committed to keeping his family’s company here and working to make
life better for others. He was the founding member of the Rhode Island
Manufacturing Summit, a non-partisan coalition of manufacturing and
business interests that worked to improve manufacturing in the Ocean
State. He is a visiting professor and trustee at Johnson & Wales University
where he’s worked to improve the facilities for the arts and sciences program. He is also a trustee of Wheaton College and of his alma mater, the
Williston Northampton School. He has served on the boards of the Rhode
Island Economic Policy Council, The Rhode Island Philharmonic, Women
& Infants’ Hospital and the Greater Providence Chamber of Commerce,
Center for Performance Excellence.
New England Tech will have the privilege of presenting him with an honorary doctorate during commencement. More than one thousand students
will receive associate, bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Commencement
begins at 11 a.m. on May 5 at the Rhode Island Convention Center.

A group of senior Construction Management students, along with Professor Phil
Marks of the Architectural Building Engineering Technology program, recently
toured a $30 million construction project at Brown University in Providence, RI with
Gilbane Construction serving as the management company. The project includes
the renovation and conversion of an existing building into a high tech science
laboratory facility for graduate studies. Mr. George Malakidis, project manager
for Gilbane, led the tour and gave his insights into the challenges they had to
overcome with the construction of such a complex and technologically advanced
building design that also has to be LEED certified. He was most impressed by the
level of knowledge of these students. From left they are: Jeremy Rogers, Colby

NEIT was named one of the “Top Undergraduate Schools to
Study Video Game Design for 2013” by The Princeton Review,
one of America’s best-known education services companies.
The list includes the top 15 undergraduate schools in the U.S.
and Canada to study video game design for 2013, and 15 undergraduate schools as honorable mentions. The report also
contains a list of the top graduate schools.
The schools were chosen based on a survey conducted in
the 2012-2013 academic year of 150 programs at institutions
offering video game design coursework and/or degrees in the
U.S. and Canada. The 50-question survey included a range of
topics such as, curriculum, faculty, facilities, infrastructure,
career services, student scholarships, and financial aid.
The full report is available at www.princetonreview.com/
