The Wild Zappers and NDDT were recently invited to perform at the National Institute of Technology for the Deaf through the NTID Department of Cultural and Creative Studies in Rochester, New York.

The National Technical Institute for the Deaf is one of the eight colleges of Rochester Institute of Technology, a leading career-oriented, technological university recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s “Best College Values,” and by The Princeton Review as one of the top 20 colleges nationwide for “Best Career Services.” More than 14,000 undergraduate students from around the world, including more than 1,300 who are deaf or hard of hearing, come to campus every year to take advantage of the benefits of an RIT/NTID education.

Fred M. Beam and Kriston Pumphrey, both RIT Alumni, were honored for having the opportunity to perform at NTID.

We here at IHI hope to continue working with NTID in hopes of strengthening the performing arts within the deaf community.

Many thanks to Aaron Kelstone, Jim Orr and the entire department for having us!
