New RIT Student Center

There's a new student center at the Rochester Institute of Technology. A ribbon cutting ceremony was held yesterday at the American Sign Language and Deaf Studies Community Center located inside the Student Alumni Union. More than 1,300 deaf students are enrolled at NTID along with some 200 hearing students who are in its interpreting and master's of education programs. During a typical year, several thousand students from other schools visit RIT to learn more about a deaf college or deaf students.
