Kids on Campus, city 'safe zones' and Rochester from 3,000 feet
RIT's long-running Kids on Campus program, a more than two-decade-old summer "computer camp" for fifth- through 10th-graders, was referenced in the July 16 Chicago Tribune article "Camp Geek turning heads" about non-traditional, tech-oriented summer camps for kids. On this week's "Dateline: RIT - The Podcast," program coordinator Susan Kurtz describes activities for kids attending the two-week-long camp.
In the June 22 Chicago Tribune article "Drug war enforcement hits minorities hardest," RIT criminal justice professor John Klofas discusses effects from so-called "safe zones" created by law-enforcement agencies as part of the war on drugs. On this week's podcast, Dr. Klofas describes the intent behind "safe zones" and unintended consequences from their creation.
