Honors Students

 


The objectives of the RIT-K Honors Society are to recognize RIT-K’s most outstanding students by promoting their academic and professional skills as well as their civic and institutional contribution. This year, the Honors Society process was highly competitive. To attain an Honors status by May 2021, students with a GPA of 3.8+ had to successfully pass all the Senior Capstone project stages, attain an average score of at least 95% in all course segment evaluations, and demonstrate research and writing skills that go above and beyond the typical Senior Capstone project. Now that these students have attained the status of an Honors student, their projects will be published at the RIT Digital Library.

The RIT-K Honors Committee consisted of seven Faculty members coming from different disciplines:
Albina Balidemaj Basha (PhD), Psychology
Edona Maloku (PhD, ABD), Psychology
Kamal Shahrabi (PhD), Electrical Engineering
Lorraina Pinnell (PhD), Literature
Mimoza Polloshka (PhD), Mathematics
Sara Baxley (MA) Philosophy and International Affairs
Venera Demukaj (PhD), Economics
