RIT mourns the loss of Yusuf Bilgic

The RIT community is mourning the loss of Yusuf Bilgic, a lecturer in the School of Information in RIT’s Golisano College of Computing and Information Sciences. He died Aug. 25 after a battle with an aggressive form of cancer.

Mr. Bilgic had been working in the Golisano College since August 2022, where he taught a variety of courses, ranging from introductory programming to advanced data science. He is survived by his wife and three daughters.

The RIT flag will be lowered Sept. 1 in his honor.
