• RIT-NTID RISE Program for Undergraduates

NTID-supported students and faculty doing faculty-guided research can have their research posters printed (at no charge) for presentations at professional and academic conferences.

To help with cost, print time, and staffing logistics, please adhere to the following print policies:

• The poster content must be related to NTID-supported student/faculty research.
• Faculty advisors of student researchers must approve the posters for printing. They should submit the final poster for printing on behalf of their student researchers.
• We will not be able to re-print posters, so please carefully proofread contents before sending the file for printing.
• Posters sizes can vary, but please limit posters to no larger than 44” x 60” (44” paper will be the largest that we carry).
• Please avoid using solid color backgrounds or large solid images as backgrounds (this consumes ink very rapidly). However, the use of colored texts, images, graphs, tables, boxes, etc. are encouraged.
• To avoid transposition errors on different computers and printers, please submit the files in PDF format.
• Please plan ahead to allow five (5) business days for printing.
• Faculty-approved PDF files of posters should be sent to Jorge Samper (jbsedr@ntid.rit.edu) for printing.

Please do not hesitate to contact Todd Pagano (tepnts@rit.edu) should you have any questions.

The Working Together: Deaf & Hearing People online course is an approximately 2-hour course designed to help employers develop the sensitivity and skills to communicate effectively with deaf and hard-of-hearing employees, enable deaf and hearing colleagues to work together more productively, and assist in fostering a workplace culture of diversity and inclusion. The five self-paced modules in the course cover topics on Myths and Definitions, Hearing Loss, Deaf Culture, Communication, and Accommodation and Inclusion in the Workplace. This information can benefit employers, co-workers, HR business leaders, and other inclusion/diversity professionals.

The U-RISE Mentor Training Team is currently developing a series of training modules to orient mentors of deaf and hard-of-hearing scientists to various considerations of access and equity in traditional classroom, virtual classroom, and research lab environments. Check back soon for more!

https://www.rit.edu/ntid/teach2connect

Teach2Connect is intended to provide instructors with classroom teaching strategies that foster collaborative learning among deaf, hard-of-hearing, and hearing students. Additionally, this site provides valuable resources to assist faculty in finding answers to questions they might have when working with deaf and hard-of-hearing students in and outside of the classroom.

The DRS was developed by RIT U-RISE based on the National Pre-Doctoral Association's list of core professional and scientific competencies to be used to guide postdoctoral training and was modified for undergraduate trainees. The DRS is used as a formative evaluation measure used to track trainee progress towards development of these competencies:

The DRS contains 41 items. Trainees self-rate each item, and each mentor rates their trainee(s) on the same items. The results of the DRS generate a report that informs the development of each Trainee's Individual Development Plan and to stimulate discussion guiding trainees to and through applications to doctoral programs in their final year.

The CASS were developed by the RIT U-RISE Professional communication and Training Team through evaluation of Trainees in various research environments. The team works collaboratively with trainees and mentors to provide consultation and recommend best-practice strategies, services, and technology to ensure optimized communication access. These scales are used routinely to help determine Trainee communication access needs and preferences in their specific research environments.
