With great sadness, MLI announces the sudden and tragic death of our colleague and faculty member, Dr. Neville Anthony D'Rozario, who passed away on Thursday evening, July 10, 2025 after a tragic accident. He leaves behind a wife (although he was separated) and an adult son.
A graduate of Dhaka Medical College and a physician with many years of experience, Dr. Neville served his government in Bangladesh, worked as an educator, served under contract in Iran (including during the Iran-Iraq war in the 1980s), and was the Medical Coordinator at Samorita Hospital in Dhaka for over a dozen years.
After arriving in the USA, he taught at various career schools including Manhattan School of Computer Technology, Mildred-Elley College, the Allen School and finally at MLI, both at the old NJ campus and at Rego Park since 2019.
It is a tribute to his dedication and character that he continued working through the age of 75 years (in fact-through they very day he died), that he mastered the art of teaching online (after much practice...) at very advanced age, and that he was extremely sincere in his teaching. He was a man of gentle and caring nature, and never raised his voice to students. A devout Christian, he was a leader in his minority community in Bangladesh and also among the faithful of the Bengali diaspora here in NYC.
Please join us in honoring his memory.
