Students on the Move | February 2021
Good things come in threes! RIT Destler/Johnson Rochester City Scholar Diamond Guy, senior biomedical science major, has been accepted at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry. (Her number one choice, she says!) On top of that, she says it was the third acceptance letter she received in one week. Guy is very active on the RIT campus and is a member of the RIT honors program. She will begin her studies in August. Her career goal is to become a dermatologist.
Niaya Jackson, a 4th year biochemistry major, received the Undergraduate Outstanding Scholar Award for 2020-2021.

Jackson is a Destler/Johnson Rochester City Scholar and has shared her leadership skills in a variety of ways including as a tutor, learning assistant and a co-representative for Women in Science for the Center for Women and Gender Student Action Board.
