Is this the same girl who was hilarious as the maid in the NTID play, “See How they Run?” Well, this gal sure has spunk. I am still reeling with the fact that for the first time we have a deaf individual representing the hearing students at RIT. This is a huge accomplishment and makes me even more prouder to be a RIT alumni. Congratulations and the best of luck in your term, Sorkin.

Well, while I congratulate her… the word on the streets is that she ran uncontested. That’s not much of a challenge. Now, if she actually ran against a hearing candidate, that would be a lot more impressive.

From class of 75′ I knew someday, RIT SG would have a Deaf President. My congratulation to you Liz Sorkin. Best of luck as leader for all students of RIT and NTID.

Next, President of RIT?

Regards,

-Barbara Jean “BJ” Wood

This is great! Good Luck Lizzy! I know you’re going to make some big changes and get everyone on the same page, this is something RIT really needs to sort of bring everything together and make it full circle!

Best of luck!

“Moi”, Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand where you’re coming from- and I really do not have much against those who wish to remain entirely within the deaf community. However, I strongly take issue with those who have little ambition to fulfill their capacity. Wishing to remain in dead-end careers simply for the sake of inclusion, to me, is not about “freedom of choice”. This also does the rest of our deaf community little justice. It’s our leaders who have to interact “out there” in order for the rest to thrive.
