Since 2008, Jim Tourangeau’s journey with RIT/NTID has been transformative. Beginning as a Sorenson Communications Video Relay Service District Manager and now serving as an Education Sales Manager, Jim has had the privilege of collaborating with students and staff to ensure access to vital communications through video relay services and interpreting.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Jim is deeply involved with Camp Mark Seven, where he volunteers and serves as a board member. This role allows him to contribute actively to creating an inclusive environment for individuals who are deaf or hard of hearing.

In his leisure time, Jim enjoys the outdoors. Whether hiking scenic trails, biking, camping, hunting, or fishing, nature provides him with a sense of peace.

“Having worked closely with RIT/NTID and its students for many years, I’ve seen firsthand the remarkable progress and challenges in postsecondary education for deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals. I am committed to supporting NTID’s mission and continuing to advocate for the advancement of deaf and hard-of-hearing students.”
