Mike Servé, who has managed NTID’s financial operations since 1982, has been named Assistant Vice President for Finance and Budget at the college.

Servé, who began his career with NTID in 1980, is responsible for ensuring that NTID’s budget is in balance and that all of the college’s expenditures conform to the rules and regulations of the federal government. He works closely with other RIT divisions and provides assistance to NTID’s president in working with Congress and the U.S. Department of Education to secure the federal funding necessary to support NTID programs.

In 1992, Servé was awarded the NTID National Advisory Group’s Outstanding Service Award, and in 2001, he received the RIT Staff Recognition Award for Excellence in Increasing Work Productivity. He has served on a number of NTID and RIT committees, including the NTID Strategic Planning Committee, and is a past president of RIT Staff Council.

He and his wife, Barbara, live in Pittsford. They volunteer their time with certified therapy dogs and have organized sessions to bring dogs to campus to help students unwind during final exam weeks.

Servé earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in business from RIT. Prior to joining NTID, he worked for the Monroe County Department of Social Services and the Rochester Hearing and Speech Center.
