Looking back on the week, it was AMAZING to see so much curiosity energy and creative abilities from all of our middle schoolers. Thank you to each and every student for spending a part of your summer with us!

Our dedicated RIT/NTID staff and student leaders worked incredibly hard to support all the programs this month. Let's also give a big shoutout to our Youth Programs team for making this an amazing summer!

What a week! Our campus was buzzing with energy for our Explore Your Future (EYF) and Advanced Tech Careers programs.

We had an absolute blast watching our deaf and hard-of-hearing students dive into hands-on projects, tackle unique classes, and make awesome new friendships along the way. Swipe through the album to see some of our favorite moments!

A massive thank you to our incredible staff. Your hard work and energy made this week a huge success.

The fun doesn't stop here, though. We are already gearing up to welcome our next group of students this Saturday for EYF Session 2 and the Health Care Careers Exploration Program. See you soon!

GG, everyone!

Looking back at our time at the Tiger Gaming League National Competition, and honestly, we are still riding the high from that weekend. Clutch plays, masterclasses in gaming talent, high intensity battles - we had it all! Win or lose, the energy the players and coaches brought was unmatched. Thank you to every competitor and fan who made it special!

A shoutout to our sponsor, Sorenson, for supporting the deaf and hard-of-hearing Esports scene and helping us bring this vision to life. We couldn’t do it without you!

But the grind never stops. We’re already looking ahead to the next chapter…
