Tiger Collective: News from NTID and President Solomon

October is one of the busiest—and most energizing—months on campus. From board meetings and Brick City Weekend to the successful NTID Career Fair, there is a lot happening to bring our community together for an exciting array of activities and events.

If you haven’t already done so, please take a few minutes to share your feedback on NTID’s Strategic Journey today. Please also note that Open Enrollment for benefits runs from October 26 through November 15, and you must actively enroll this year; benefits will not automatically roll over as some have in previous years.

Thank you for all you do each day to support our students and advance NTID’s mission.

Students asked, and I’m answering! Check out my responses to our students’ most burning questions.

Academic Affairs highlights include new roles in ASL-English Interpretation, the inaugural Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing CPAs Summit, the 25th annual NTID Career Fair, community-engaged work in addressing food insecurity, audiology and accessibility outreach, performing arts and visual arts projects, and workforce-development presentations focused on advancing opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing workers.

RIT/NTID remains committed to peer notetaking services and currently employs more than 350 student notetakers. AI is not replacing paid student notetakers, and students with approved accommodations will continue to receive appropriate support based on their needs and preferences.

NTID’s new weekly events email will gather upcoming activities in one convenient update, reducing separate messages and making it easier to stay connected. Submit events by 5 p.m. Wednesday for Friday’s email, and be sure to add them to the RIT events calendar.
