It didn’t take long for Karuna Mukherjea MS ’97 and Deepak Sharma MBA ’97 to realize there was a strong connection between them; they were international students on RIT’s campus in 1996 who kindled a friendship during class. The relationship quickly evolved into more. Twenty-six years later, they are married with two daughters, have successful careers, and have joined the Sentinel Society in support of the university that launched their future together.
