Tiger Collective: News from NTID and President Solomon

Mark your calendar for these events! 

Join me in honoring this individual who was part of NTID’s history.

I look forward to seeing everyone at convocation and commencement on May 8 and 9. I’m excited to celebrate our talented graduates as they reach this important milestone. There are many events happening between now and the end of the academic year, and I encourage you to attend and participate as much as you can.

Some changes are ahead for the Summer Transition Program (STP) and the Deaf Hub. Click the read more link below to get the details.

Your input is invaluable as we develop and refine our Strategic Journey. Please remember to complete the survey by Friday, April 17.

As we come to the close of the academic year, I’d like to recognize our retirees and thank them for their service to our students, alums, and the community. You have made NTID the outstanding place it is today, and we all are grateful for your contributions. You will be missed! 

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

RIT’s Convocation and NTID’s Commencement are May 8 and 9, respectively. These events feature Academy Award winner Troy Kotsur and a record number of NTID-affiliated delegates. 

IEO had the opportunity to host a delegation from National Tsukuba Corporation University of Technology (NTUT) in March. IEO also received funding for the fifth year of the DeafGROW Project, continuing the work to expand opportunities for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals worldwide. Thomastine Sarchet’s research on deaf employment was recently featured in RIT News and Events.

CMMS is updating NTID’s recruitment publications to reflect the most current information across academic programs and student support services.

At the same time, they are preparing to say goodbye to three long-time CMMS team members who are retiring this year and thank them for their many contributions.

A reminder to follow RIT brand guidelines when creating communications materials and to connect with the CMMS team for support.

The 2026 National Math Competition was an incredible success. The talent, dedication, and enthusiasm of every student who participated was impressive.

Congratulations to all the team and individual winners, and sincere thanks to the schools, coaches, and the many staff members who helped make this event possible.

Staffing levels in Access Services are significantly reduced during summer, so plan for and communicate your needs early.

In collaboration with the NTID President’s Office and RIT Production Services, interpreters will now be positioned on stage and projected on the main screen for convocation and commencement, alongside continued real-time captioning. Additional accommodation options are available upon request.
