Part of today I spent showing around a prospective student and her family. She is local, and her sister was actually one of our interns a few years ago - but what actually piqued her interest was a visit to her school by one of our current students! So I gave the family a tour of the building and introduced them to our current high school interns, who described the research they are working on this summer (they did a great job, by the way - I know they'll be fantastic at their final presentations, which are next week already!). Afterward, we joined the whole group of interns and all went out to lunch together at Crossroads! There we all had a chance to informally chat and get to know each other, and let her get a feeling for RIT and the experiences the interns are having here. She seems like a really great fit for Imaging Science, and she has great interest and enthusiasm! I could relate a lot to her interests and feelings, as they remind me of myself 10 years ago when I was her age. After lunch, I pointed the way to the Admissions Office - she is just THAT excited! Yeah!!! I surely hope we'll be welcoming her here next fall.
