Newsletter March 2018

The 2018 American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) Region VI conference was held on Saturday, March 3, 2018 at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT).

Exposing high school students from various schools to college-career exploration programs like the College, Accounting and You (CAY) has benefited hundreds of students since its inception in 1999 at RIT. 

March is Women’s History Month where the vital contributions of women in history are honored and celebrated. There will be several events offering unique ways to learn and meet notable women and even make a difference, like:

For the first time, an RIT LSAMP (Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation) and McNair Scholar has been selected to participate in the France/Belgium international Research Experience for Undergraduates (iREU). Xavier Thompson was selected to participate in the prestigious program during the summer of 2018.   This research opportunity is offered annually in collaboration with Louisiana State University (LSU) LSAMP program.  

We are thrilled to welcome two new Division of Diversity and Inclusion staff members, Dave Oliver and Amy Ortiz!
