Thoughts from President Solomon
ask me anything

Ask Me Anything
Troy Kotsur at an event on Thursday, April 24, 2025, at Lyndon Baines Johnson Hall.

Convocation and Commencement
a woman in a blue and white dress speaks to other adults in a modern classroom environment.

International Educational Outreach
A bright orange brochure spread titled "Find your fit." A large central photo features student Emma Kane smiling confidently with her hands on her hips, wearing a dark grey t-shirt with a roaring tiger graphic. The left page includes introductory text about the diverse deaf and hard-of-hearing student community at RIT, along with a QR code linking to rit.edu/ntid/fit. On the right are two smaller portraits and quotes from students Sam Sit and Cece Gallagher, who praise the university's accessibility, suppor

Communications, Marketing and Multimedia Services
A team of four young female students wearing matching bright orange t-shirts sit together at a black table, collaborating during a math competition. They are seated in an auditorium with red stadium-style seats behind them. On the table are pencils, calculators, a tablet, and a computer monitor, and one student is signing as they discuss a problem.

Pre-College Programs
An interpreter wearing a black graduation gown stands in the foreground with her arms raised high and hands open. Behind her, graduates and faculty are seated on a stage during a commencement ceremony, with a large video screen displaying the event in the background.

Access Services
A young man wearing a white hoodie and a hearing device speaks into a microphone while seated at a desk. Across from him, a smiling woman points to audio waveforms displayed on a computer screen. They are in a room with sound-dampening walls.

Communication Studies and Services
A group of actors rehearsing a dance routine on a theatrical stage with a blue-painted floor. In the foreground, a man with bright purple hair and a patterned shirt holds hands with a young woman in a peach t-shirt, both balancing gracefully on one foot with their other legs and free arms extended. Two other cast members observe them from black platform steps in the background.

Academic Affairs
A person wearing a white lab coat, blue gloves, and clear safety goggles leans closely over a black lab bench, carefully using a micropipette to transfer a yellow liquid into a small vial. Various pieces of laboratory glassware and equipment are visible in the blurred background.
