Rochester Institute of Technology honored 117 students whose academic and personal achievements have made them this year’s Outstanding Undergraduate Scholars, including:
- Sarah Coleman of Waterville, daughter of Lori Coleman and Doug Coleman, who is a fourth-year student in the international hospitality and service management program in RIT’s College of Applied Science and Technology.
- Ryan Sullivan of Canastota, son of John Sullivan and Kelly Sullivan, who is a fourth-year student in the furniture design program in RIT’s College of Imaging Arts and Sciences.
- Zachary Eager of Chittenango, who is a fourth-year student in the computational mathematics program in RIT’s College of Science.
The awards, a bronze medallion, were given in ceremonies on April 7 to those students who have met the scholarship criteria – a minimum grade-point average of 3.85 out of 4.0; completion of more than two-thirds of the credit hours required for a bachelor’s degree and demonstrated community engagement, such as creative work, serve on student committees, civic activities, employment or independent research.
“RIT is pleased to pay tribute to these undergraduates whose demonstrated devotion to excellence is an inspiration to the university community,” said Jeremy Haefner, RIT provost and senior vice president of Academic Affairs, who presented the scholars to President Bill Destler and RIT deans at the ceremony in Gordon Field House.
