NTID President Selected to Lead Gallaudet<\/strong><\/p>\n

NTID News – October 18, 2009<\/p>\n

T. Alan Hurwitz, the president of the National Technical Institute for the
\nDeaf at Rochester Institute of Technology, has been selected to become the
\nnext president of Gallaudet University in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

Hurwitz was among the four finalists announced for the position in
\nSeptember. The Gallaudet Board of Trustees announced their decision today
\nafter an intensive search process culminating with in-depth interviews with
\neach of the four candidates.<\/p>\n

Hurwitz came to NTID in 1970 after working as an engineer and computer
\nprogrammer for McDonnell-Douglas. He taught and served in various
\nadministrative positions and has headed NTID since 2003.<\/p>\n

Hurwitz will become Gallaudet’s 10th president in the university’s 145-year
\nhistory. His presidency will begin on Jan. 1.<\/p>\n

RIT President Bill Destler expects to announce plans very soon for an
\ninterim president to head NTID while a national search is conducted for
\nHurwitz’s successor.<\/p>\n

“It is with mixed emotions I accept this new challenge,” Hurwitz said. “I
\nlook forward to helping Gallaudet continue to serve its students in an
\nenvironment that fosters the best educational opportunities for them. Yet I
\nam saddened to be leaving Rochester, the home my wife Vicki and I have known
\nfor the past 40 years. We have raised our children here and have made
\ncountless friends here. The RIT\/NTID community will always hold a special
\nplace in our hearts.<\/p>\n

“I have assured President Destler that I will help the interim president
\nmake a smooth transition. I leave NTID in good hands. We’ve never been in
\nbetter shape. Our applications continue to be strong. Enrollment is the
\nhighest it has ever been in our 42-year history. Our students are still
\nfinding good jobs upon graduation despite tough economic times. Our
\nreputation is well regarded in Washington and throughout the nation. And our
\nfaculty and staff are dedicated, hard-working men and women who have a
\npassion for their mission here.”<\/p>\n
