Portrait of Yolanda Ford

Ford
Upper Marlboro

I attended a school for deaf students, so I came to RIT to experience diversity among deaf and hard-of-hearing students from all over the United States. The experiences I have received through my studies and extracurricular activities have helped me grow into a leader. I am vice president of NTID’s Ebony Club and have been involved in several performing arts productions. My goal is to use my degree in business and my passion in dance to open a dance studio for people who are deaf.
