I was logged on the MyRIT homepage when a headline caught my eye. It was a link to Reporter and it intrigued me so I clicked on the link and found that it was such a great story that I thought I'd blog about it. It was actually a "Letter to the Editor" by Alumnus Bruce Hartley titled: "So you call yourself a hockey fan at RIT? I'm calling most you out on behalf of the women's team."
I am just going to tell you right now - that Rauncie’s story is life changing not only for her, but for anyone who reads it.
I am not even going to spill any of the details as you need to read it as she wrote it in her own words.
All I can say is WOW and a heartfelt congratulations to Rauncie on choosing to make the changes in her life that she always wanted and the courage to follow through.
Thank you Rauncie - for sharing your story with the RIT community.

Ever wonder how the recipients of the RIT Staff Recognition Awards are selected, and what goes into choosing the final 6 out of the many outstanding nominees? Well here’s the tell-all blog that will unmask the mystery and give you a look at the clandestine meetings that are held in an undisclosed location behind lock and key…don-don-don-da (dramatic music plays).
Okay, I have to be honest - I don’t know! Sorry to get your hopes up, but we are all going to have to wait until the Fifteenth Annual Staff Recognition Awards Ceremony on October 5th to find out. In the meantime, our Staff Recognition Awards Display has been repopulated with a bunch of nameless silhouettes as a teaser to help build anticipation leading up to the big day.
