Faculty Fellow in Computing Technology

Garret Arcoraci has been with RIT since 1998 as a student and instructor, so there is an apparent affinity for the university. But, more importantly, as much as he enjoys teaching, he also enjoys learning. His passion for learning and teaching drove him to apply and accept the CTL Faculty Fellow position. He brings several perspectives to the position, having worked in industry for 17 years, as an RIT graduate student for eight, and graduating with a Masters degree in Information Technology in 2009. And as an instructor for the past 12 years, starting as an adjunct in 2011.

Garret has been nominated twice for the Eisenhart Outstanding Teaching Award and received the college’s Outstanding Educator Award in 2020. Many of the courses he teaches focus on technology, and he works diligently to keep course materials current. In addition, he is constantly exploring new trends and techniques in system administration. In this new role, he hopes to share his enthusiasm with other instructors who are equally as passionate about teaching and learning as he is. And to help them use available technology for improvement and to move the university forward.
