D. Robert Frisina - 2011 RIT Innovation Hall of Fame

Описание: Without Dr. Frisina there would be no NTID. No one in the history of this college has worked in such a selfless manner for deaf and hard-of-hearing students. He is a true innovator in every sense of the word, and to hear him tell the story of "life in the trenches" as he worked to get this building up and running, to get materials in the building and faculty in place and students in chairs― is nothing short of inspirational. The university and the Rochester area, as well as thousands of deaf and hard-of-hearing graduates and current students, owe so much to Dr. Frisina and his innovative vision of what he called "The Grand Experiment." As RIT Trustee Arthur L. Stern stated, "Few leaders anywhere in the nation could have matched Dr. Frisina's dynamic leadership in charting the course for the National Technical Institute for the Deaf." Dr. Frisina was a visionary who saw NTID as one of RIT's colleges, but also recognized it as a national institution. He recognized how important it would be to make connections with the Federal government, and blazed a trail of good relations that has continued for more than 40 years.
