RIT/NTID Alumni Relations host gathering at Streetcar 82

CEOs, Chief Financial Officers, and Chief Technology Officers are among the 12 RIT alumni honored with Distinguished Alumni Awards for the 2024-2025 year.

During Brick City Homecoming and Family Weekend, Big Tigers on Campus interviewed RIT/NTID alums Peter and Cindy Pickering and their daughter, RIT student-athlete and CODA, Emma Pickering, a member of RIT’s Division I Women’s Hockey Team. They discussed why Emma, who is majoring in exercise science, chose to play hockey, why she picked RIT for college, and her experience being involved in the Deaf and CODA communities.

Read a recap of the NTIDAA Board fall meeting weekend, which corresponded with Brick City Homecoming. It was fantastic to have everyone on campus, and it was a super fun and busy long weekend! 

NTID President Gerard Buckley, who made history as the first RIT/NTID alumnus to become president of the college, has announced his intention to step down in summer 2025 after leading the National Technical Institute for the Deaf for 15 years. His tenure as NTID president caps a career in higher education spanning more than 40 years.
