Accessibility in Undergraduate Research Experiences: A Novel CURE

CURE courses were developed for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (D/HH) students in the Laboratory Science Technology program (Lynn et al. 2020) at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf of Rochester Institute of Technology. Notably, the developed CUREs enrolled all D/HH students and also fulfilled a requirement for the two-year degree program. Attending to accessibility, the courses were taught in American Sign Language and focused on best practices for working with D/HH students in the lab.

An Analysis Of The Seminar, Preservation Of Photographs, In The Years 1991-2007

This paper is an examination of the Preservation of Photographs seminars held yearly since 1991 by the Image Permanence Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology and George Eastman House. The world of photography was affected by a variety of changes during this time, which were manifested in the subject matter covered at the Seminar. The purpose of this examination is to make a detailed review of this Seminar, see what changes have been made, and assess how and why these changes took place to better be aware of our priorities today. It was not the intent of this paper to be critical of past practices, but rather to attempt to chronicle and understand how these practices have evolved over time.

Creating An Acquisition Report For Six Portfolios From The School Of Photographic Arts And Sciences At Rochester Insitute Of Technology

Six portfolios produced between the years 1987 and 1992 have been offered to the Deparment of Photographs at George Eastman House. Assembled by the faculty and staff of the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences (SPAS) at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), they contain a total of 169 photographic prints of various processes made by 52 participants. An acquisition report is needed in order for the acquisition committee to understand the portfolios and make an informed decision as to whether they should be acquired for the collection. The main focus of this thesis is an acquisition report for the six portfolios. It also includes a brief history of photographic education at RIT followed by an overview of the portfolios and their production, which relies on correspondence with many of the participants.
