RIT - NTID - NTID News - NTID Students Welcome Deaf Nation Tour
Rochester and RIT/NTID last week were among the first stops made on a seven-week cross-country tour by DeafNation, a media outlet serving the Deaf community.
The DeafNation crew spent two days on campus, where they took a tour, interviewed NTID President Alan Hurwitz and witnessed a photo being taken with NTID students from each state. After the photo, the students and Hurwitz agreed to go outside to pose in front of the DeafNation RV.
Michelle Gerson, who graduated from RIT/NTID this spring, held the RIT flag with Hurwitz. Gerson is now Outreach Coordinator for Viable Inc., a Maryland-based company that provides video relay services. Viable is helping to sponsor their 7,500-mile trip.
"As a recent graduate from the institute, it was a particularly heart-warming moment for me," Gerson wrote in her blog about her return to campus. "Even though I had graduated and left, I was clearly not forgotten."
While in town, the tour also stopped at Rochester School for the Deaf and the Rochester Recreation Club for the Deaf.
