October is one of the busiest—and most energizing—months on campus. This week, we are pleased to welcome the NTID Foundation and Alumni Association boards, followed by the NTID National Advisory Group next week. In between, Brick City Weekend will bring our community together for an exciting array of activities and events.

The NTID Career Fair was a tremendous success. It was especially rewarding to welcome back so many alums who represented their employers and helped connect today’s students with new career opportunities.

As we look ahead, your input is essential to developing the NTID Strategic Journey—the framework that will guide our priorities and direction for the next decade. If you haven’t already done so, please take a few minutes to share your feedback today. You can visit the Strategic Journey webpage to review all the draft strategic actions (RIT log-in required).

Please also encourage students to complete the Strategic Journey survey sent directly to them. Their perspectives are equally important as we work to ensure that NTID’s strategic priorities reflect their experiences, needs, and aspirations for the future.

Open Enrollment for benefits runs from October 26 through November 15. Please note that you must actively enroll this year; benefits will not automatically roll over as some have in previous years. For details, visit the RIT Human Resources benefits webpage.

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