John Dodd, an instructor in RIT’s College of Art and Design for more than 40 years, is the sixth recipient of the Edline M. Chun Award for Outstanding Teaching and Service. The award, named in honor of the late RIT adjunct professor Edline Chun, has been given annually since 2014 to a faculty member who exemplifies excellence and dedication in teaching to an affiliated school in the College of Art and Design.

Today, RIT offers 73 master's programs, with 14 new programs added in just the past 10 years. And the number of master's programs is likely to grow even more in the near future.

Architect Gian-Paul Piane ’07 (woodworking and furniture design) is in charge of designing RIT’s new Alumni House, which will open in 2017.
