Faces of RIT
Giving a Voice to a Community
As an alum of the journalism major, Tianna has put into practice the storytelling platforms and opportunities RIT provided to her. Today, Tianna is editor-in-chief of Open Mic Rochester, an online magazine that gives a voice to Rochester’s black community.
Beyond Human
Seeing the world through the eyes of a different species is just one way we connect with the world around us. Through faculty-led research, Wegman is working to improve the quality of life for North American River Otters by studying their visual perception.
Evoking Emotion Through Music
A difficult task to accomplish, yet a joy to teach, Kruger enjoys composing for visual mediums. As chair of the Department of Performing Arts and Visual Culture, Krugar focuses on enhancing a scene with music while keeping the audience immersed in the medium.
The Hands of Time
At RIT’s makerspace you’re free to design, test, tinker, and build. Hatch utilizes The Construct to create 3D-printed mannequin hands for the Genesee Country Village & Museum for its 19-century clothing exhibit.
