NTID-Supported Athletes at RIT

Tiger paw with words RIT NTID Athlete Development

The RIT/NTID Athlete Development Program strives to help student-athletes find their inner greatness on and off the field, in and out of the classroom, and as high-character individuals in the community.

The Program provides support and training to improve quality of deaf and hard-of-hearing student-athletes’ experience as key members of their respective athletic programs.

The Program's vision is to work towards helping deaf and hard-of-hearing student-athletes develop to see improvements in academic, athletic and personal success yearly.
