From the first walk into the ceremony to the final hugs goodbye, graduation day was filled with moments that reminded us what makes this community so special.
We watched dreams years in the making become reality. We saw families cheering with pride, friends celebrating side by side, and graduates crossing the stage carrying every late night, challenge, breakthrough, and memory with them.
For some, this was the end of a chapter. For others, the beginning of something entirely new. But no matter where life takes the Class of 2026 next, they will always have a home here at RIT/NTID.
To our graduates: thank you for sharing your stories, your talents, your resilience, and your hearts with this community. We are endlessly proud of you and cannot wait to see the impact you make in the world.
Once a Tiger, always a Tiger.🧡

Over the past two days, faculty and staff from across RIT/NTID came together for the AI in Action Symposium to explore the growing role of artificial intelligence in education, accessibility, communication, and the workplace.
As AI continues to evolve, RIT/NTID remains committed to engaging with these technologies thoughtfully and proactively; not simply reacting to change, but helping shape how AI can support innovation, learning, and accessibility within our community and beyond.
Thank you to everyone who helped organize, present, and participate in this year’s symposium. Your collaboration and insight made these conversations meaningful, practical, and forward-looking.

⭐️ Congratulations, Class of 2026! 🎓

Welcome to Tigers alumni 🐅
.
.
.
I graduated in 2017. I can’t believe it’s already been 9 years. My journey from freshman to senior year was such a meaningful experience that taught me a lot and helped me become more confident. I made new friends, got involved with organization clubs, and created some of the best memories.
.
.
Those experiences helped shape who I am today, and I’m proud to have built a successful business, Izalaix Design. RIT/NTID truly helped shape me into the person I am today.
