I came to RIT because of the large Deaf community and the access services. My major prepared me well for my co-op experience in the plant department at the University of Massachusetts because I got lots of hands-on experience with lab equipment in my classes and the opportunity to do research early on. RIT is everything I expected, and I wouldn’t be the same person if I had never met all my amazing friends and the faculty here along the way.
