Beth Singer and Howard Smith aren’t RIT alumni, but in the four years since their son, Lee Smith BS ’24, BS ’24, began his undergraduate studies, they have become closely intertwined with the university's students, faculty, and staff. “We were impressed with RIT from day one,” comments Howard and Beth. “When there were only a few days left to select which college Lee would attend, we asked the Admissions department to let Lee know why they felt it was such a good fit. They really understood what Lee was about from his application and arranged to have students and professors reach out to him in response to our requests that were narrowly threaded to his interests. That made a huge difference.”

Black History Month Mixer and Alumni Panel

At our annual Black History Month Mixer and Alumni Panel on February 15, a panel of five alumni shared insights into their college experiences and professional journeys, all viewed through the lens of their African-American identity. Guiding the discussion was our student moderator and President of the Black Awareness Coordinating Committee (BACC), Guerline Guerrier BS ’25, who skillfully navigated the conversation with grace and insight. Through poignant reflections on their personal and professional paths, the panelists illuminated the diverse narratives of African-American achievement to an audience of alumni, students, faculty, and staff.
