Micatu Inc. donated its groundbreaking Gridview optical sensors to RIT for a new campus learning lab. The equipment allows faculty and students to monitor renewable integration and manage the addition of distributed energy resources onto the campus microgrid.
The sustainable children’s clothing brand, Chickadee, Daeya Shealy designed for her capstone project was exhibited in April at RIT City Art Space in downtown Rochester.
Daeya Shealy ’21 (Industrial Design) has long held an affinity for Germany. She grew up learning the country’s native language and about its culture in great depth.
Her knowledge can be traced back to fourth grade in her native Atlanta, where she started taking German classes. Not long after, she began attending Concordia Language Villages’ German cultural immersion program, continuing every summer through high school as first a camper and then a counselor.
Both experiences led to Shealy becoming highly proficient in German. It’s a skill that will be especially beneficial as she prepares for her first professional maneuver after graduating this spring from RIT’s Industrial Design program. She earned a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange for Young Professionals (CBYX) fellowship to study and work as

Elizabeth Lamark Hira Abid will venture to Turkey for graduate school as a Fulbright Scholar. The chemical engineering major is a 2021 recipient of the prestigious award.
Hira Abid crossed continents to come to RIT.
The chemical engineering student from Pakistan will make another global connection when she begins graduate school in Turkey as one of RIT’s newest Fulbright awardees.
Abid will begin orientation this summer at Koç University in Istanbul, taking classes in the Biomedical Sciences and Engineering program in the Graduate School of Sciences and Engineering. It is an adventure, a challenge and the next step toward a career in biotechnology to problem-solve some of the global health challenges today.
Marie Lang Lauren Trumpore was instrumental in advocating for the new Undergraduate Research Scholars awards. She will be among the inaugural class of honorees recognized at graduation this May.
Forty members of the inaugural class of Undergraduate Research Scholar Awardees will be honored at this year’s graduation ceremonies. The recognition highlights their accomplishments in a variety of complex and demanding research areas during their time at RIT. It also shows RIT’s commitment to meeting the growing demand by undergraduates for research experiences to complement coursework.
“We have an extremely high density of undergraduates who are engaged in independent, scholarly research,” said Ryne Raffaelle, RIT’s vice president for research and associate provost. “Hands-on education through research continues to be a hallmark of an RIT undergraduate education. What we are happy to see this year is the breadth of fields represented and the depth of the work of this fi
