Kenneth Weimar
AAS '88, BS '90
Mr. Weimar began his education at RIT as a photography major but made the switch to the Professional and Technical Communications program to better his chances of working in advertising. He quickly learned it was the art of persuasion, giving him skills he calls on every day as senior development officer for KickStart International, a pioneering "social enterprise" fighting poverty in Africa. To date, he has helped nearly 400,000 people get out of poverty—forever
