Thank you for welcoming me this past month. It is an exciting time: meeting people, getting to know the many organizations here and around Rochester, and I look forward to more positive experiences. With all of us working together, we will continue the legacy of those before us.

Admissions has wrapped up the Fall 2025 class and begun planning for the new recruitment cycle, and our counselors are ready to hit the road now and begin work to enroll our class for next fall.

We successfully conducted five on-campus summer programs this year, serving more than 230 students.

We welcomed 11 new deaf international students this fall, including three into the Master of Science in Deaf Education program, and finalized an agreement between NTID, Fulbright Italy, and the Wirth Foundation to support Italian students taking coursework and research in deaf education.
