NTID Center for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation

The NTID Support Team provides services for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students involved in Center for Intercollegiate Athletics and Recreation/First Year Enrichment courses and programs.  The NTID Support Team is committed to providing quality services that maximize access for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students who are engaged in Wellness for Life, Wellness Activity, and First Year Enrichment courses, as well as Intercollegiate Athletics, Intramural and Recreation programs.  NTID team members teach courses (signing for themselves) and provide tutoring/performance coaching and advising.  Consultation/advising is available to Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing student athletes and RIT intercollegiate coaches.  The team serves as a liaison between the NTID Admissions Department and the Center for Human Performance providing potential Deaf and Hard of Hearing student athletes the opportunity to meet with coaches and visit our facilities.

The team provides opportunities for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing students to develop leadership and professional skills through the coordination and management of a peer educator/para-professional Sport Assistant program.  Through collaboration with other units within NTID and RIT, the student para-professionals utilize a variety of creative strategies and programming efforts that support access, inclusion, team building and education.
